STRUCTURE OF SENDAI VIRUS Y3/ALIX-BRO1 DOMAIN COMPLEX
Structural highlights
FunctionPDC6I_HUMAN Class E VPS protein involved in concentration and sorting of cargo proteins of the multivesicular body (MVB) for incorporation into intralumenal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome. Binds to the phospholipid lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) which is abundant in MVBs internal membranes. The MVB pathway appears to require the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complexes. The ESCRT machinery also functions in topologically equivalent membrane fission events, such as the terminal stages of cytokinesis and enveloped virus budding (HIV-1 and other lentiviruses). Appears to be an adapter for a subset of ESCRT-III proteins, such as CHMP4, to function at distinct membranes. Required for completion of cytokinesis. Involved in HIV-1 virus budding. Can replace TSG101 it its role of supporting HIV-1 release; this function implies the interaction with CHMP4B. May play a role in the regulation of both apoptosis and cell proliferation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedSendai virus (SeV), belonging to the Respirovirus genus of the family Paramyxoviridae, harbors an accessory protein, named C protein, which facilitates viral pathogenicity in mice. In addition, the C protein is known to stimulate the budding of virus-like particles by binding to the host ALG-2 interacting protein X (Alix), a component of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) machinery. However, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene knockdown studies suggested that neither Alix nor C protein is related to SeV budding. In the present study, we determined the crystal structure of a complex comprising the C-terminal half of the C protein (Y3) and the Bro1 domain of Alix at a resolution of 2.2 A to investigate the role of the complex in SeV budding. The structure revealed that a novel consensus sequence, LXXW, which is conserved among Respirovirus C proteins, is important for Alix binding. SeV possessing a mutated C protein with reduced Alix-binding affinity showed impaired virus production, which correlated with the binding affinity. Infectivity analysis showed a 160-fold reduction at 12 h postinfection compared with nonmutated virus, while C protein competes with CHMP4, one subunit of the ESCRT-III complex, for binding to Alix. All together, these results highlight the critical role of C protein in SeV budding. IMPORTANCE Human parainfluenza virus type I (hPIV1) is a respiratory pathogen affecting young children, immunocompromised patients, and the elderly, with no available vaccines or antiviral drugs. Sendai virus (SeV), a murine counterpart of hPIV1, has been studied extensively to determine the molecular and biological properties of hPIV1. These viruses possess a multifunctional accessory protein, C protein, which is essential for stimulating viral reproduction, but its role in budding remains controversial. In the present study, the crystal structure of the C-terminal half of the SeV C protein associated with the Bro1 domain of Alix, a component of cell membrane modulating machinery ESCRT, was elucidated. Based on the structure, we designed mutant C proteins with different binding affinities to Alix and showed that the interaction between C and Alix is vital for viral budding. These findings provide new insights into the development of new antiviral drugs against hPIV1.
