BK polyomavirus (BKV) causes polyomavirus-associated nephropathy and hemorrhagic cystitis in immunosuppressed patients. These are diseases for which we currently have limited treatment options, but potential therapies could include pre-transplant vaccination with a multivalent BKV vaccine or therapeutics which inhibit capsid assembly or block attachment and entry into target cells. A useful tool in such efforts would be a high-resolution structure of the infectious BKV virion and how this interacts with its full repertoire of cellular receptors. We present the 3.4-Å cryoelectron microscopy structure of native, infectious BKV in complex with the receptor fragment of GT1b ganglioside. We also present structural evidence that BKV can utilize glycosaminoglycans as attachment receptors. This work highlights features that underpin capsid stability and provides a platform for rational design and development of urgently needed pharmacological interventions for BKV-associated diseases. Present the cryo-EM structure of native, infectious BKV virion at 3.4 Å resolution Reveal interpentamer interactions that mediate capsid assembly Determine the interaction of BKV with a receptor fragment of GT1b ganglioside Identify possible sites for glycosaminoglycan binding on the virion surface BK polyomavirus causes several debilitating diseases in the immunosuppressed with no effective treatments currently available. Hurdiss et al. present the high-resolution structure of BK and complexes with distinct cellular receptors. This work provides a platform for rational design and development of urgently needed targeted pharmacological interventions for BK-associated diseases.
