Association of the pr Peptides with Dengue Virus at Acidic pH Blocks Membrane Fusion

Abstract: Flavivirus assembles into an inert particle that requires proteolytic activation by furin to enable transmission to other hosts. We previously showed that immature virus undergoes a conformational change at low pH that renders it accessible to furin (I. M. Yu, W. Zhang, H. A. Holdaway, L. Li, V. A. Kostyuchenko, P. R. Chipman, R. J. Kuhn, M. G. Rossmann, and J. Chen, Science 319:1834-1837, 2008). Here we show, using cryoelectron microscopy, that the structure of immature dengue virus at pH 6.0 is essentially t… Show more

“…Although immature flavivirus particles have been demonstrated to be non-infectious in vitro (Elshuber et al, 2003;Elshuber & Mandl, 2005;Moesker et al, 2010;Stadler et al, 1997;Yu et al, 2008Yu et al, , 2009), opsonization of immature DENV virions with anti-prM antibodies has been demonstrated to enhance the infection of Fc-receptor-positive cells (Dejnirattisai et al, 2010;Rodenhuis-Zybert et al, 2010). Bound virions are endocytosed, with acidification of the endosome allowing furin-mediated cleavage of prM and subsequent virus fusion.…”

“…Indeed, the currently accepted model of flavivirus maturation within the trans-Golgi involves the stem region of the prM protein interacting with the associated E protein DII in a manner that pulls E down from a trimeric spike into a flat dimeric conformation parallel to the virion surface (Zhang et al, 2012(Zhang et al, , 2013b, with this interaction dependent upon decreasing pH and originating from one or more discrete nucleation centres (Plevka et al, 2011(Plevka et al, , 2014. In addition, the low-pH environment in the trans-Golgi compartment allows the pr peptide to remain associated with E (Yu et al, 2009), effectively preventing premature fusion within the cell.…”

“…The release of virions from the cell surface results in the loss of pr and resultant formation of a mature, infectious virion (Junjhon et al, 2008(Junjhon et al, , 2010Yu et al, 2008Yu et al, , 2009. prM is required for efficient trafficking of E to the cell surface and accelerated cleavage of prM is detrimental to virion production (Junjhon et al, 2008(Junjhon et al, , 2010Keelapang et al, 2004).…”
