Dengue viruses cause the most important human viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes. In recent years, a great deal has been learned about molecular details of dengue virus genome replication; however, little is known about genome encapsidation and the functions of the viral capsid protein. During infection, dengue virus capsid progressively accumulates around lipid droplets by an unknown mechanism. Here, we examined the process by which the viral capsid is transported from the ER membrane, where the protein is synthesized, to lipid droplets. Using different methods of intervention, we found that the GBF1-Arf1/Arf4-COPI pathway is necessary for capsid transport to lipid droplets, while the process is independent of both COPII components and Golgi integrity. The transport was sensitive to brefeldin A, while a drug resistant form of GBF1 was sufficient to restore capsid subcellular distribution in infected cells. The mechanism by which lipid droplets gain or lose proteins is still an open question. Our results support a model in which the virus uses a non-canonical function of the COPI system for capsid accumulation on lipid droplets, providing new ideas for antiviral strategies. Brief synopsis of abstract figure The dengue virus capsid protein accumulates progressively around cellular organelles named lipid droplets (LDs) during infection. Using different methods of intervention, we defined that capsid transport from virally-modified ER membranes to LDs requires a functional GBF1 protein. The process was found to be COPI dependent, while it was independent of both COPII components and Golgi integrity, supporting a non-canonical function of GBF1/ARF/COPI transport system.
