Abstract
Avian reovirus fibre, a homo-trimer of the sigmaC protein, is a minor component of the avian reovirus outer capsid. It is anchored via a short N-terminal sequence to the inner capsid lambdaC pentamer, and its protruding globular C-terminal domain is responsible for primary host cell attachment. We have previously solved the structure of a receptor-binding fragment in which residues 160-191 form a triple beta-spiral and 196-326 a beta-barrel head domain. Here we have expressed, purified and crystallized a major sigmaC fragment comprising residues 117-326. Its structure, which was solved by molecular replacement using the previously determined receptor-binding domain structure and refined to 1.75 A (0.175 nm) resolution, reveals an alpha-helical triple coiled-coil connected to the previously solved structure by a zinc-ion-containing linker. The coiled-coil domain contains two chloride ion binding sites, as well as specific trimerization and registration sequences. The linker may act as a functionally important hinge.

Figure 2.
Figure 2. Crystal structure of avian reovirus sigmaCD1-150. (a) Stereo view of C^a atoms connected by lines. The three monomers are coloured red, green and blue, and every tenth residue of the red monomer is numbered. (b) Ribbon diagram in the same orientation and colouring scheme as in (a). In the red monomer, secondary structure elements are identified with upper case letters for beta-strands and lower case letters for helices. (c) The first triple beta-spiral repeat consisting of amino acid residues 160-171 in ball-and-stick representation covered by the final 2F[o] -F[c] electron density map contoured at a s level of 1.0. (d) Top view of the sigmaC trimer. Inter-monomer salt bridges are shown. Monomer backbones are coloured yellow, orange and green. Figure 2, Figure 4 and Figure 5 were prepared using Bobscript,50 a modified version of MOLSCRIPT.51
Figure 4.
Figure 4. Mapping of conserved residues onto the structure of sigmaC. (a) and (b) The structure of residues 160-326 of crystal form IIz are shown in space-filled representation and the locations of solvent-accessible residues (as judged by the program SURFACE40) conserved in all known avian orthoreovirus strains are indicated. The view in (b) is rotated 60° around the vertical trimer axis as compared to (a). (c) Conserved amino acid residues in the trimer interface. Monomer A is shown as a coil, B and C in space-filled representation. The view is the same as in (a). The locations of residues conserved in all known avian orthoreovirus strains contacting another monomer are indicated (contact less than 4 Å as calculated by the program CONTACT40). The location of Asp277 is also shown, although in some avian reovirus strains it is replaced by a Glu, presumably still able to form a salt-bridge with Arg321.

Author's comment:  Structure of the receptor-binding domain of the avian reovirus fibre (protein sigmaC). Part of the shaft domain is also included, revealing two triple beta-spiral repeats. Future research will hopefully identify the avian receptor for this virus and show how it binds to sigmaC.
