Subgenomic flaviviral RNAs (sfRNAs) are virus-derived noncoding RNAs produced by pathogenic mosquito-borne flaviviruses (MBF) to counteract the host antiviral response. To date, the ability of non-pathogenic flaviviruses to produce and utilise sfRNAs remains largely unexplored, and it is unclear what role XRN1 resistance plays in flavivirus evolution and host adaptation. Herein the production of sfRNAs by several insect-specific flaviviruses (ISFs) that replicate exclusively in mosquitoes is shown, and the secondary structures of their complete 3’UTRs are determined. The xrRNAs responsible for the biogenesis of ISF sfRNAs are also identified, and the role of these sfRNAs in virus replication is demonstrated. We demonstrate that 3’UTRs of all classical ISFs, except Anopheles spp-asscoaited viruses, and of the dual-host associated ISF Binjari virus contain duplicated xrRNAs. We also reveal novel structural elements in the 3’UTRs of dual host-associated and Anopheles-associated classical ISFs. Structure-based phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that xrRNAs identified in Anopheles spp-associated ISF are likely ancestral to xrRNAs of ISFs and MBFs. In addition, our data provide evidence that duplicated xrRNAs are selected in the evolution of flaviviruses to provide functional redundancy, which preserves the production of sfRNAs if one of the structures is disabled by mutations or misfolding. Subgenomic flaviviral RNAs (sfRNAs) are produced by pathogenic flaviviruses to counteract the host antiviral response. sfRNAs are products of incomplete degradation of viral RNA by the host exoribonuclease XRN1 which stalls on XRN1-resistant structural elements (xrRNAs) in the 3‟UTR. Here, Slonchak et al. identify xrRNAs for mosquito-specific flaviviruses, characterize their ability to stall XRN1 and produce sfRNAs, and apply structure-based phylogenetic analysis to provide evidence for evolutionary selection of these elements.
