In this respect, infectious clones constitute excellent tools to accomplish these goals. However, flavivirus infectious clones are often difficult to work with due to the toxicity of some flavivirus sequences in bacteria. To bypass this problem, several alternative approaches have been applied for the generation of ZIKV clones including, among others, in vitro ligation, insertions of introns and using infectious subgenomic amplicons. Here, we report a simple and novel DNA-launched approach based on the use of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) to generate a cDNA clone of Rio Grande do Norte Natal ZIKV strain. The sequence was identified from the brain tissue of an aborted fetus with microcephaly. The BAC clone was fully stable in bacteria and the infectious virus was efficiently recovered in Vero cells through direct delivery of the cDNA clone. The rescued virus yielded high titers in Vero cells and was pathogenic in a validated mouse model (A129 mice) of ZIKV infection. Furthermore, using this infectious clone we have generated a mutant ZIKV containing a single amino acid substitution (A175V) in the NS2A protein that presented reduced viral RNA synthesis in cell cultures, was highly attenuated in vivo and induced fully protection against a lethal challenge with ZIKV wild-type. This BAC approach provides a stable and reliable reverse genetic system for ZIKV that will help to identify viral determinants of virulence and facilitate the development of vaccine and therapeutic strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v10100547","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,8]],"date-time":"2018-10-08T10:44:53Z","timestamp":1538995493000},"page":"547","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["An Alanine-to-Valine Substitution in the Residue 175 of Zika Virus NS2A Protein Affects Viral RNA Synthesis and Attenuates the Virus In Vivo"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4592-9756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Silvia","family":"M\u00e1rquez-Jurado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Centro Nacional de Biotecnolog\u00eda (CNB-CSIC), Campus Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 3 Darwin street, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aitor","family":"Nogales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gin\u00e9s","family":"\u00c1vila-P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisco J.","family":"Iborra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Centro Nacional de Biotecnolog\u00eda (CNB-CSIC), Campus Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 3 Darwin street, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7084-0804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Sobrido","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, 601 Elmwood Avenue, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Almaz\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Centro Nacional de Biotecnolog\u00eda (CNB-CSIC), Campus Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 3 Darwin street, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2099","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(17)31450-2","article-title":"An update on zika virus infection","volume":"390","author":"Baud","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"246","article-title":"Who calls off global zika emergency","volume":"317","author":"Friedrich","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
