Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Monolayers of BHK-21 were simultaneously transfected with in vitro transcribed RNA from DENV2-mut-mCherry, together with plasmids that express wild-type NS1 (p wt-NS1) or NS1 mutated in both parts of the NSL (p Mut3-NS1), and 6 days after, cells were fixed and processed for confocal microscopy. Controls include non-transfected cells (N/T), cells transfected with a plasmid expressing wt-NS1 wild type alone (p wt-NS1), and RNA derived from either infectious clone alone (DENV2-wt-mCherry and DENV2-mut-mCherry). B) Cell supernatants collected from the trans complemented cells after 6 days were tested for infectivity in monolayers of BHK-21 cells. Cells were fixed and processed for confocal microscopy 7 days after infection. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue), and DENV NS1 was visualized using an anti-NS1 Mab as primary antibody and an Alexa 488 conjugated secondary antibody (green). Scale bar: 50uM. Results from one of two independent experiments are shown.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Volcano plot showing differential gene expression in BHK-21 cells expressing the NS1-M3 mutant relative to wild-type NS1-Wt. The x-axis represents the fold change (log₂), and the y-axis indicates statistical significance (-log₁₀ crude P-value). Orange dots denote significantly upregulated genes in NS1-M3 compared to NS1-Wt, while blue dots represent downregulated genes (log₂ FC ≥ 1, P < 0.05). The extensive distribution of differentially expressed genes highlights the distinct biological impact of the M3 mutation compared to the native protein. B) Bidirectional hierarchical clustering heatmap of 1,755 genes with significant differential expression (times change > 2 and cutoff P-value). Rows represent individual genes and columns represent experimental conditions. Expression levels are presented as Z-scores of log2 normalized values, ranging from low expression (blue) to high expression (yellow). The upper dendrogram reveals a distinct clustering of the NS1-M3 mutant, separate from the NS1-Wt and control groups. (Right)
