The pro-fusion domain of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D (gD) interacts with the gD N terminus and is displaced by soluble forms of viral receptors

Abstract: Entry of herpes simplex virus into the cell requires the interaction of gD with one of its receptors, herpesvirus entry mediator or nectin 1, and the intervention of gB, gH, or gL, required to execute fusion of the virion envelope with cell membranes. The gD ectodomain is organized in two structurally and functionally differentiated regions. The N terminus (residues 1-260) carries the receptor binding sites, and the C terminus (residues 260 -310) functions as the pro-fusion domain (PFD), which is required for … Show more

“…The interactions of gD with nectin-1 are abolished by mutations at residues 34, 38, 215, 222, and 223 (13,14,20). A profusion domain, essential for activation of fusogenic glycoproteins B, H, and L, has been mapped to residues 260-310 in close proximity to the transmembrane domain beginning at residue 314 (6). gD suppresses apoptosis induced by mutants lacking gD (17).…”

“…At least some of the interactions of gD with its receptors have been mapped to the N terminus of gD, whereas the fusogenic determinant maps in the C-terminal portion of the ectodomain (residues 260-310). These residues (260-310) become actively engaged in membrane fusion after the interaction of the N-terminal domain with one of its cognate receptors (6)(7)(8)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). gD also blocks apoptosis resulting from endocytosis of virus particles lacking gD.…”

“…HSV-1 gH is not trafficked to the cell surface in the absence of gL (6). The current paradigm for HSV-1 fusion is that the required glycoproteins form a fusion complex (7,8), where gD binds a cell surface receptor (herpesvirus entry mediator, nectin-1, or modified heparin sulfate), inducing a conformational change that leads to fusion mediated by gB and/or gHL (8)(9)(10)(11). Because it is hypothesized that the main function of gD resides in Phase I (8,12) and gL functions solely as a gH chaperone (13), gB and gH are the most likely candidates to be involved in Phases II and III of the fusion process.…”
