HCV E1 influences the fitness landscape of E2 and may enhance escape from E2-specific antibodies

Abstract: The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoprotein E1 forms a noncovalent heterodimer with E2, the main target of neutralizing antibodies. How E1-E2 interactions influence viral fitness and contribute to resistance to E2-specific antibodies remains largely unknown. We investigate this problem using a combination of fitness landscape and evolutionary modelling. Our analysis indicates that E1 and E2 proteins collectively mediate viral fitness, and suggests that fitness-compensating E1 mutations may accelerate esc… Show more
