胡宁病毒包膜糖蛋白GP-C的G2融合亚基含有两个疏水性七重重复区,推测其形成I类病毒融合蛋白膜融合活性所需的六螺旋束结构。我们已经调查了这些七重复区域的作用,特别是,推定的螺旋间的a和d位置侧链的重要性,通过使用丙氨酸扫描诱变。所有的突变体糖蛋白都得到表达并转运到细胞表面。在枯草杆菌蛋白酶kexin同工酶-1/站点-1-蛋白酶(SKI-1/S1 P)切割位点的蛋白水解成熟,但在所有的突变体中观察到两个。在充分切割的突变糖蛋白中,N-末端区域中的四个位置(I333、L336、L347和L350)和C-末端区域中的两个位置(R392和W395)被证明是细胞-细胞融合的重要决定因素。总之,我们的结果表明,α-螺旋卷曲螺旋结构可能是至关重要的,在促进沙粒病毒膜融合。这些发现支持沙粒病毒GP-C在I类病毒融合蛋白中的包含,并建议针对沙粒病毒感染和出血热的药理学和免疫学策略。
The G2 fusion subunit of the Junín virus envelope glycoprotein GP-C contains two hydrophobic heptad-repeat regions that are postulated to form a six-helix bundle structure required for the membrane fusion activity of Class I viral fusion proteins. We have investigated the role of these heptad-repeat regions and, specifically, the importance of the putative interhelical a and d position sidechains by using alanine-scanning mutagenesis. All the mutant glycoproteins were expressed and transported to the cell surface. Proteolytic maturation at the subtilisin kexin isozyme-1/site-1-protease (SKI-1/S1P) cleavage site was observed in all but two of the mutants. Among the adequately cleaved mutant glycoproteins, four positions in the N-terminal region (I333, L336, L347 and L350) and two positions in the C-terminal region (R392 and W395) were shown to be important determinants of cell–cell fusion. Taken together, our results indicate that α-helical coiled-coil structures are likely critical in promoting arenavirus membrane fusion. These findings support the inclusion of the arenavirus GP-C among the Class I viral fusion proteins and suggest pharmacologic and immunologic strategies for targeting arenavirus infection and hemorrhagic fever.
