| Core Tip |
The function of hepatitis E virus (HEV) Y-domain remains elusive. In silico analysis of closely-related virus sequences mapped a potential palmitoylation-site (CC) and α-helix segment (LYSWLFE) in the Y-domain. Mutant replicons of the universally conserved residues C336, C337 and W413 showed non-viability. Saturation mutations in the Y-domain (nucleotide sequences 788-994) severely affected RNA replication, revealing their post-transcriptional indispensability. Notably, the three residues cor-responded to the non-conserved codons, indicating their post-translational essentiality. RNA secondary structure prediction showed hairpin formations by the critical bases (788-994), where mutations drastically affected virion infectivity. This is the first demonstration of the critical role of Y-domain sequences in HEV life cycle that warrants further molecular/biochemical studies.
