项目摘要
The devastating impact on public health, global economy and social stability incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic
in the last two years has highlighted the importance of basic research into zoonotic pathogens. This application
describes structural and functional studies into the rodent-borne human pathogen lymphocytic choriomeningitis
virus (LCMV), a member of the Arenaviridae family in the Bunyavirales order. Like other members of the same
family, LCMV has a negative sense, bi-segmented genome consisting of a large (L) and a small (S) segment.
The L segment encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (L RdRp) protein and the multi-functional matrix
protein (Z). The S segment encodes the viral nucleoprotein (NP) and the glycoprotein (GP) precursor of the
glycoprotein complex (GPC) that is later cleaved into a stable signal peptide (SSP), GP1, and GP2. In the virion,
nucleocapsids of NP coated L and S segments associated with the L protein are copackaged through interactions
with membrane-associated Z proteins, which also interact with GPs embedded in the membrane envelope.
Although structures of individual proteins from AVs have been solved by x-ray crystallography or cryo electron
microscopy (cryoEM), the architectural organization of these proteins in the virion and the assembly mechanism
of NP and RNA into the nucleocapsid are poorly understood. We hypothesize that NP interacts with genomic
RNA segments and L RdRp to form a nucleocapsid, which is recruited to GP-decorated membrane patches
through Z for budding of virions. The proposed structural and functional studies aim to test this hypothesis of
LCMV virion and nucleocapsid assembly with techniques just established by our team in the collaborative studies
of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), another negative sense RNA virus. Specifically, cryo electron tomography
(cryoET) will be used to reconstruct the first 3D model of the LCMV virion at molecular resolution and atomic
models of individual proteins will be fitted into the virion tomogram to establish the architectural framework of the
virion and to unveil molecular interactions among GP, Z, NP and L proteins (Aim 1). Near-atomic resolution with
novel sub-particle reconstruction method will be used to image fully assembled nucleocapsids consisting of NP
protein and genomic RNA segment to define the protein-RNA interactions at atomic details. The nucleocapsid
structure will be used to guide sub-particle reconstruction workflow and be complemented by in situ structures
of nucleocapsids from virions (Aim 2). In both Aims, structure-guided functional studies will be performed to test
hypotheses of assembly mechanisms of LCMV nucleocapsid and virion. Structure-function relationship relevant
to viral RNA synthesis will also be explored. Overall, the anticipated results will provide new insights into the
mechanism of virion assembly and viral RNA synthesis, not only for LCMV but also for Arenaviruses in general.
The proposed studies harness cutting-edge technologies in structural biology and will generate new knowledge
of viral structures currently unavailable to any of Arenaviruses. As such, the innovative studies shall make unique
contributions by accelerating discoveries of antiviral agents and vaccines to control future AV outbreaks.

病毒(LCMV),布尼亚病毒目中沙粒病毒科的成员。像其他成员一样,
在LCMV家族中,LCMV具有由大(L)和小(S)区段组成的负义、双区段基因组。
L片段编码RNA依赖性RNA聚合酶(L RdRp)蛋白和多功能基质
蛋白质(Z)。S区段编码病毒核蛋白(NP)和糖蛋白(GP)的前体。

与L蛋白相关的NP包被的L和S片段的核衣壳通过相互作用被共包装
与膜相关的Z蛋白,也与嵌入在膜包膜的GP相互作用。
尽管已经通过X射线晶体学或低温电子显微镜(cro electron microscope)解决了来自AV的单个蛋白质的结构,
利用冷冻电镜(cryoEM),这些蛋白质在病毒体中的结构组织和组装机制
NP和RNA进入核衣壳的机制知之甚少。我们假设NP与基因组相互作用,

一种新的亚粒子重建方法将被用于成像完全组装的核衣壳组成的NP

病毒体组装和病毒RNA合成的机制,不仅对于LCMV,而且对于一般的沙粒病毒。
拟议的研究利用了结构生物学的尖端技术,并将产生新的知识
目前任何沙粒病毒都无法获得的病毒结构。因此,创新研究应使独特的
