CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE DENGUE 2 VIRUS ENVELOPE PROTEIN IN COMPLEX WITH N-OCTYL-BETA-D-GLUCOSIDE
|
OverviewOverview
Dengue virus is an emerging global health threat. Its major envelope, glycoprotein, E, mediates viral attachment and entry by membrane fusion. A, crystal structure of the soluble ectodomain of E from dengue virus type 2, reveals a hydrophobic pocket lined by residues that influence the pH, threshold for fusion. The pocket, which accepts a hydrophobic ligand, opens and closes through a conformational shift in a beta-hairpin at the, interface between two domains. These features point to a structural, pathway for the fusion-activating transition and suggest a strategy for, finding small-molecule inhibitors of dengue and other flaviviruses.
