Abstract | Introduction of point mutations is one of the forces enabling arboviruses to rapidly adapt in a changing environment. The influence of these mutations on the properties of the virus is not always obvious. In this study, we attempted to clarify this influence using an in silico approach. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigated how the position of charge-changing point mutations influences the structure and conformational stability of the E protein for a set of variants of a single TBEV strain. The computational findings were supported by experimental evaluation of relevant properties of virions, such as binding to heparan sulfate, thermostability, and susceptibility of the viral hemagglutinating activity to detergents. Our results also point to relationships between E protein dynamics and viral neuroinvasiveness. |
