Octamerization Enables Soluble CD46 Receptor To Neutralize Measles Virus In Vitro and In Vivo

Abstract: A chimeric fusion protein encompassing the CD46 ectodomain linked to the C-terminal part of the C4b binding protein (C4bp) ␣ chain (sCD46-C4bp␣) was produced in eukaryotic cells. This protein, secreted as a disulfide-linked homo-octamer, was recognized by a panel of anti-CD46 antibodies with varying avidities. Unlike monomeric sCD46, the octameric sCD46-C4bp␣ protein was devoid of complement regulatory activity. However, sCD46-C4bp␣ was able to bind to the measles virus hemagglutinin protein expressed on murin… Show more

“…We also performed competition experiments using monomeric soluble CD46, but even at a high concentration, competition was not observed. This is in agreement with previous studies documenting that oligomerization of CD46 is necessary to sustain MV neutralization (43). The Y543A mutation strongly reduces H binding to nectin-4 and CD46 while leaving SLAM binding unaffected.…”

“…The affinities for CD46 binding to dimeric (MVH3) or monomeric (MVH4) proteins determined from either the kinetic constants (K D ) or the MVH-bound receptor at steady-state conditions (K D * ) were not significantly different. CD46 binding affinity was similar to that reported (120 nM) for monomeric receptor binding to membrane bound MVH (26). The kinetic association constants (k a ) for binding of both CD46 and SLAM to the MVH3 variant were slightly higher, although the k d rates were almost identical.…”

“…3), suggesting that cross-linked CD46ex-huFc mimics the multiple-interaction situation when the virus contacts the cell surface. Similarly, CD46 cross-linking by genetically fusing the CD46 ectodomain to the octamer oligomerization domain of C4b binding protein resulted in a 2-log-enhanced MV-neutralizing activity in vitro and in vivo due to enhanced virus binding (8). These data suggest that the receptor density is of key importance not only for interaction of CD46 with trimeric FK but also for the multivalent virus particle.…”
