Monomeric Intermediates Formed by Vesiculovirus Glycoprotein during Its Low-pH-induced Structural Transition

Abstract: Vesiculoviruses enter cells by membrane fusion, driven by a large, low-pH-induced, conformational change in the fusion glycoprotein (G) that involves transition from a trimeric pre-fusion to a trimeric post-fusion state. G is the model of class III fusion glycoproteins which also includes the fusion glycoproteins of herpesviruses (gB) and baculoviruses (gp64). Class III fusion proteins combine features of the previously characterized class I and class II fusion proteins. In this review, we first present and di… Show more

“…Although MOKV G has been crystallized in a monomeric conformation, EM reveals that, at low pH, it adopts a trimeric post-fusion conformation at the viral surface, which indicates once again that for both lyssaviruses and vesiculoviruses the trimer is less stable than class I fusion glycoproteins, as largely documented in the literature [11,39]. This is in agreement with the model that, for rhabdoviruses, the structural transition proceeds through monomeric intermediates [27,40].…”

“…Previous studies have implicated the F 2 subunit in species specificity of RSV and in fusogenicity of F 31,32 . However, the conformational changes observed in the CR9501-bound monomer are subtle, in contrast to what has been observed in monomeric structures of antibody-bound influenza hemagglutinin (HA) in which conformational changes indicative of triggering are present 4144 . This is likely because CR9501 also contacts the α2–α3 helices, which would prevent conformational changes associated with fusion.…”

“…A monomer fraction for HA2 in SEC correlates with monomer fractions of the initial HA1/HA2 complex under some conditions, as well as large monomer fractions for gp41 under some conditions. 47, 48, 50, 52, 56, 57, 70 For both HA2 and gp41, there is a significant structural rearrangement between the initial trimeric HA1/HA2 or gp160 complex, and the final trimer-of-hairpins without the receptor proteins. Transient dissociation of HA2 and gp41 into monomers may be functionally important because monomer rearrangement into a hairpin followed by association into a trimer-of- hairpins may be topologically more straightforward than a concerted rearrangement of trimeric protein.…”
