Abstract
Cyanovirin (CV-N) is a small lectin with potent HIV neutralization activity, which could be exploited for a mucosal defense against HIV infection. The wild-type (wt) protein binds with high affinity to mannose-rich oligosaccharides on the surface of gp120 through two quasi-symmetric sites, located in domains A and B. We recently reported on a mutant of CV-N that contained a single functional mannose-binding site, domain B, showing that multivalent binding to oligomannosides is necessary for antiviral activity. The structure of the complex with dimannose determined at 1.8 A resolution revealed a different conformation of the binding site than previously observed in the NMR structure of wt CV-N. Here, we present the 1.35 A resolution structure of the complex, which traps three different binding conformations of the site and provides experimental support for a locking and gating mechanism in the nanoscale time regime observed by molecular dynamics simulations.
Figure 1.
Crystal structure of P51G-m4-CVN at 1.35 A resolution: cartoon representation of one monomer in complex with dimannose. Domain A (green) contains four mutations (K3N, T7A, E23I, N93A, highlighted as red sticks) in the binding site, resulting in loss of binding (Chang and Bewley 2002). Domain B (blue) is unaltered and binds to dimannose. A P51G mutation in the hinge region stabilizes the monomer (Barrientos et al. 2002). The sequence of P51G-m4-CVN is reported below; domains A and B are represented in green and blue, respectively, while mutations from wt are in red.

Figure 2.
Overlay of the backbone hinge region (residues 46 --57) of cyanovirin, monomer and dimer, and of P51G-m4-CVN. The monomeric NMR structure of wt CV-N (PDB code 2EZM) is represented in yellow, while the domain-swapped crystal structure (PDB code 1M5M) is represented in gray, and the monomeric crystal structure of P51G-m4-CVN in green (PDB code 2RDK; this work). Only the side chain of P51 (wt) is shown. In 2EZM, S52 assumes disallowed backbone dihedral angles.
