Term information
Category=gene. Requested by=IDODEN. The dengue virus contains a 10.7 kb single-stranded RNA genome of positive strand polarity with a type I cap at the 5' terminus. The RNA genome is translated into a large glycosylated polyprotein precursor with proteins that are arranged in the order NH2-C-prM-E-NS1-NS2A-NS2B-NS3-NS4A-NS4B-NS5-COOH. Proteolytic processing in the region of the structural proteins is mediated by a host cell signal peptidase that is located within the endoplasmic reticulum. [PMID:12297031, PRO:ES]
