摘要： Palmitoylation of viral proteins is crucial for host-virus interactions. In this study, we examined the palmitoylation of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) nonstructural protein 2A (NS2A) and observed that NS2A was palmitoylated at the C221 residue of NS2A. Blocking NS2A palmitoylation by introducing a cysteine-to-serine mutation at C221 (NS2A/C221S) impaired JEV replication in vitro and attenuated the virulence of JEV in mice. NS2A/C221S mutation had no effect on NS2A oligomerization and membrane-associated activities, but reduced protein stability and accelerated its degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. These observations suggest that NS2A palmitoylation at C221 played a role in its protein stability, thereby contributing to JEV replication efficiency and virulence. Interestingly, the C221 residue undergoing palmitoylation was located at the C-terminal tail (amino acids 195 to 227) and is removed from the full-length NS2A following an internal cleavage processed by viral and/or host proteases during JEV infection.IMPORTANCE An internal cleavage site is present at the C terminus of JEV NS2A. Following occurrence of the internal cleavage, the C-terminal tail (amino acids 195 to 227) is removed from the full-length NS2A. Therefore, it was interesting to discover whether the C-terminal tail contributed to JEV infection. During analysis of viral palmitoylated protein, we observed that NS2A was palmitoylated at the C221 residue located at the C-terminal tail. Blocking NS2A palmitoylation by introducing a cysteine-to-serine mutation at C221 (NS2A/C221S) impaired JEV replication in vitro and attenuated JEV virulence in mice, suggesting that NS2A palmitoylation at C221 contributed to JEV replication and virulence. Based on these findings, we could infer that the C-terminal tail might play a role in the maintenance of JEV replication efficiency and virulence despite its removal from the full-length NS2A at a certain stage of JEV infection. An internal cleavage site is present at the C terminus of JEV NS2A. Following occurrence of the internal cleavage, the C-terminal tail (amino acids 195 to 227) is removed from the full-length NS2A.
