Abstract
Background: The four dengue virus serotypes, evolved from a common ancestor, are global human pathogens. Results: Interserotypic substitution of the functional domain essential for 5′-capping was detrimental to RNA replication. Conclusion: The chimeric RNA gradually evolves replication fitness through adaptive mutations in genes encoding two replication proteins. Significance: This study provides a possible pathway for generating attenuated dengue virus vaccine.
