In this study, we design uncleaved prefusion-closed (UFC) trimers for the fusion protein (F) of both viruses by examining mutations critical to F metastability. For RSV, we assess four previous prefusion F designs, including the first and second generations of DS-Cav1, SC-TM, and 847A. We then identify key mutations that can maintain prefusion F in a native-like, closed trimeric form (up to 76%) without introducing any interprotomer disulfide bond. For hMPV, we develop a stable UFC trimer with a truncated F(2)-F(1) linkage and an interprotomer disulfide bond. Dozens of UFC constructs are characterized by negative-stain electron microscopy (nsEM), x-ray crystallography (11 RSV-F structures and one hMPV-F structure), and antigenic profiling. Using an optimized RSV-F UFC trimer as bait, we identify three potent RSV neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) from a phage-displayed human antibody library, with a public NAb lineage targeting sites O and V and two cross-pneumovirus NAbs recognizing site III. In mouse immunization, rationally designed RSV-F and hMPV-F UFC trimers induce robust antibody responses with high neutralizing titers. Our study provides a foundation for future prefusion F-based RSV and hMPV vaccine development.
