Luteolin escape mutants of dengue virus map to prM and NS2B and reveal viral plasticity during maturation by Vasudevan, Subhash G., Peng, Minhua, Swarbrick, Crystall Marie Dawn, Chan, Kitti Wing-Ki, Luo, Dahai, Zhang, Wei, Lai, Xiaoping, Li, Geng

“…Time of drug addition assay with luteolin showed that the mutant viruses were able to produce more mature virions than WT in the order DM > SM2>SM1>WT. Exogenous addition of furin to purified immature WT or mutant viruses revealed that luteolin blocked the prM cleavage of WT and SM2 at a similar level. …”
