Figure 1.
Figure 1. Structure of SFV E1
(A) Ribbon diagram colored according to domains, by using the standard class II color coding (red, yellow, and blue for DI, DII, and DIII, respectively), except that DII is colored yellow and orange to distinguish the two insertions into DI loops (at D[0]E[0] and H[0]I[0]) that make up this domain, and the fusion peptide is brown. The SS bonds are drawn as green cylinders and are labeled from 1 to 8. A yellow fan denotes the single glycosylation site at position 141. All of the histidine side chains present in the structure are drawn in magenta and labeled; conserved ones are framed (note the cluster of three histidines at the DI/DIII interface, around His331). The side chains of mutants that affect the lipid dependence of the fusion activity of E1 are drawn and labeled in black. Numbered gray arrows point to the location of E1 insertions in the more distant fish alphaviruses (see [C]).
(B) Topological diagram of E1, drawn with TOPS (Flores et al., 1994) and colored according to domains. The domains are labeled in colored font (matching the class II scheme). In DII, the central and connecting b sheets and the fusion loop-bearing b sandwich (FLBS) are labeled in black.
(C) Amino acid sequence alignment of E1 proteins from representative alphaviruses: Ross river virus (RRV), O'nyong-nyong virus (NYO), Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE), western equine encephalitis virus (WEE), Sindbis virus (SIN), and rainbow trout sleeping disease virus (SDV). The secondary structure is represented above the sequence, colored coded as in (A) and (B). Highly and relatively conserved residues are drawn in white font on red background and vice versa, respectively, with variable positions in black. The glycosylation site is marked by a yellow fan as in (A). Cysteines are labeled in green with the number of the disulfide bridge that they form (1-8, as in [A]). Insertions in the amino acid sequence of E1 from the fish alphaviruses (SDV) are numbered in gray to match the arrows in (A). Other symbols underneath the alignment show E1/E1 (triangles) and E1/E2 (blue stars) contacts on the virus particle, determined as indicated in the Experimental Procedures. Yellow triangles denote E1/E1 contacts about the I5 and Q6 axes (Figure 2), and white triangles denote contacts about the Q2 axes. A vertical open arrow above the sequence marks the last amino acid with visible electron density in the crystal (K384). The C-terminal TM region is boxed.

Figure 2.
Figure 2 Conformational rearrangement of protein E. Comparison of the overall organization of the protein in the neutral- and acid-pH forms. The 'top' and 'side' views are indicated in the top and bottom rows, respectively. The three domains of sE are labeled dI, dII, and dIII. The color coding is defined in the legend to Figure 1. (A) Neutral -pH, dimeric conformation of sE in a surface representation. The carbohydrate residues (labeled CHO) are indicated in pink. A ribbon diagram is intercalated between the top and side views, at the same scale and orientation as the foreground subunit in the side view. Several -sheets that are referred to in the text are indicated (i.e., the top and bottom -sheets of dI, the klD[0] and gfeah sheets of dII). In the ribbon diagram, the arrows representing the -strands in the bottom sheet of dI are white. The last amino acid observed in the crystal structure (K395; Rey et al, 1995) is indicated by an open blue star, labeled C-term. The lipid bilayer is diagrammed at the same scale underneath the dimer in the side view, with the aliphatic region in pale yellow and the lipid head regions in gray. (B) Low-pH conformation of sE. As in panel A, only one subunit is colored and the others are shown in white and gray. The arrows show the dimensions of the molecule, including all atoms with a Van der Waals radius of 2 Å. In the side view, the purple region indicates the dIII/stem linker, which ends at the last amino acid visible in the electron density map (R401) indicated by an open red star (labeled C-ter). Note the vertical groove that follows the C-terminus along the interface between neighboring dIIs in the trimer. The lipid bilayer is diagrammed as in (A), indicating the postulated interaction of the fusion peptide loops with the lipid heads. (C) Ribbon diagram of the polypeptide chain of sE in the trimeric conformation. In the top view, note the extended conformation of the dI/dIII linker (purple). In the side view, only the colored subunit displayed in (B) is shown for clarity. The disordered segments (the E[0]F[0] loop in dI and the fg loop in dII) are indicated by broken lines and labeled. The C-terminus is indicated as in (B). It shows that the predicted -helix H1 of the stem would interact with the two short helices of dII. (D) Conformational rearrangement of sE. dI of the sE subunit in the conformation observed in the dimer (Figure 1A) was superposed on dI of the colored subunit in the trimer shown in (C), as explained in the text. Curved gray arrows show the movement of the domains to reach the conformation indicated in (C). In the side view, the two -sheets of dII that change their relative orientation are labeled (klD[0] and gfeah).
Figure 6.
Figure 6 Diagram of the full-length E protein in its different conformations. Organization of the flavivirus E protein in three conformations: on the mature viral particle, in its postfusion form, and in the asymmetric, low-pH-induced intermediate conformation, responsible for the hemifusion step. The linear diagram at the top summarizes the arrangement of domains polypeptide segments, defining the color code used in (A, B). (A) Cartoon of TBEV E as lying on the viral membrane at neutral pH, as observed in the dengue virus particles (Zhang et al, 2003a) (left panel), and in its final, postfusion conformation change (right panel). (B) Proposed structural intermediate responsible for causing fusion of the outer leaflets of the target and viral membranes (hemifusion step). Helix H1 maintains the tips of dII in an open conformation, allowing two-fold related lateral interaction between adjacent trimers via the fusion peptide loops. This arrangement leads to the formation of a ring of five trimers, each interacting identically with its neighbors, which destabilizes the target membrane by creating a lipid nipple. We propose that the H2 segment of the polypeptide chain is used to accommodate the temporary symmetry violation during this intermediate, acting as a tether to the TM segments. Zipping up of the H2 (or s2 segment in SFV) will force juxtaposition of the fusion peptide loops and the TM segments, forcing the opening of an initial fusion pore, as proposed for SFV E1 (Gibbons et al, 2004). For clarity, only two trimers are drawn (out of five proposed to form a closed ring).
