Dimerization of Hepatitis E Virus Capsid Protein E2s Domain is Essential for Virus-Host InteractionDimerization of Hepatitis E Virus Capsid Protein E2s Domain is Essential for Virus-Host Interaction
Structural highlights
Function[CAPSD_HEVPA] Major viral capsid protein that encapsidates the viral genome. Binds to the 5' end of the genomic RNA (By similarity). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedHepatitis E virus (HEV), a non-enveloped, positive-stranded RNA virus, is transmitted in a faecal-oral manner, and causes acute liver diseases in humans. The HEV capsid is made up of capsomeres consisting of homodimers of a single structural capsid protein forming the virus shell. These dimers are believed to protrude from the viral surface and to interact with host cells to initiate infection. To date, no structural information is available for any of the HEV proteins. Here, we report for the first time the crystal structure of the HEV capsid protein domain E2s, a protruding domain, together with functional studies to illustrate that this domain forms a tight homodimer and that this dimerization is essential for HEV-host interactions. In addition, we also show that the neutralizing antibody recognition site of HEV is located on the E2s domain. Our study will aid in the development of vaccines and, subsequently, specific inhibitors for HEV. Dimerization of hepatitis E virus capsid protein E2s domain is essential for virus-host interaction.,Li S, Tang X, Seetharaman J, Yang C, Gu Y, Zhang J, Du H, Shih JW, Hew CL, Sivaraman J, Xia N PLoS Pathog. 2009 Aug;5(8):e1000537. Epub 2009 Aug 7. PMID:19662165[1] From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. References
