Inhibition of the Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Small Hydrophobic Protein and Structural Variations in a Bicelle Environment

Abstract: The small hydrophobic (SH) protein is a 64-amino-acid polypeptide encoded by the human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV). SH protein has a single ␣-helical transmembrane (TM) domain that forms pentameric ion channels. Herein, we report the first inhibitor of the SH protein channel, pyronin B, and we have mapped its binding site to a conserved surface of the RSV SH pentamer, at the C-terminal end of the transmembrane domain. The validity of the SH protein structural model used has been confirmed by using a bic… Show more

“…Also, His residues are not required for channel activity, as the channel was active even when both His residues were changed to Phe. 84 These results are consistent with a dramatic reduction of channel activity at lower pH observed previously for synthetic SH-TM (residues 18-43) in planar lipid bilayers, 83 where only His22 was present. Overall, BLM results showed only minor variations in conductance and selectivity with pH.…”

“…84 Although modest, this K d compares favorably with the 16 µM for amantadine inhibition of influenza M2 protein, 86 the ∼10 µM reported for HMA inhibition of SARS-CoV E, 52 50-100 µM for rimantadine inhibition of HCV p7, 50 or the .100 µM of HMA for p7 inhibition. 85 SH protein conductance changed from 0.3±0.07 nS in control conditions to 0.12±0.06 nS Figure 5 Common features in SARS-Cov e and RSv SH channels.…”

“…Conductance of such molecules may, at first glance, argue against selective channel properties, and is likely indicative of channel-pore dualism and the plasticity inherent to viroporin channel structures. However, indirect substrates Li et al (2014) often possess relatively small Stokes radii (e.g. 0.4-0.6 nm for carboxyfluorescein), consistent with their being able to pass through the lumenal apertures of many viroporins, based upon structural data and/or computer models.…”
