Biophysical characterization of the interaction between M2-1 protein of hRSV and quercetin

Abstract: hRSV is the major causative agent of acute respiratory infections. Among its eleven proteins, M2-1 is a transcription antiterminator, making it an interesting target for antivirals. Quercetin is a flavonol which inhibits some virus infectivity and replication. In the present work, the M2-1 gene was cloned, expressed and the protein was purified. Thermal stability and secondary structure were analyzed by circular dichroism and the interaction with Quercetin was evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Molecular … Show more

“…DSC data showed that the melting temperature of the hRSV cdM2-1 (68.7 °C) is at least 13 °C higher than those reported for the full-length M2-1 (~55 °C) (15). Similar results were reported for other proteins in the literature, such as the C-terminal domain (CH2) of the human utrophin calponin-homology domain (24) and the N-terminal domain (C2A) of the cytosolic C2 domains in tandem of synaptotagmin I (25).…”

“…The structural models of the cdM2-1/RNA complex were generated using the 3dRPC webserver (20). The structural restrains of the complex were defined from the chemical shift perturbations due to the NMR titrations of [U- 15 The fluorescence quenching experiments showed that the binding of the hRSV cdM2-1 to RNA has nano to micromolar dissociation constants (Table 1) nucleic acids with a length between 10 and 20 nucleotides with sequence specificity, being that the first group determined values in 10-100 micromolar range using CSP by NMR spectroscopy and the second, in the hundred-nanomolar range using EMSA (Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay) and fluorescence anisotropy (7,10). Studies reported that the interaction of the full-length M2-1 with nucleic acids present dissociation constants of tenths of nanomolar that are at least 10fold lower than those recorded for the cdM2-1: 30 nM for long RNA without sequence specificity (22), ~19 nM for poly-A 13mer RNA (8), and ~15 nM for 20mer RNA with sequence specificity (10).…”

“…M 2-1 can be considered as the target protein to the potential antiviral activity of small molecules, such as flavonoids. Previous studies showed for example that the quercetin [30] and with its acetylated derivatives [31] can bind to the antitermination factor M 2-1 . Therefore, the present work aimed to investigate the binding interaction of HST and HSD with the hRSV M 2-1 protein by using experimental techniques of STD-NMR and fluorescence spectroscopy in association with computational tools of molecular docking and molecular dynamics.…”
