Ligands: CL, NA, NAG Gene: GPC (Lassa mammarenavirus) Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [A0A097F3Y1_9VIRU] Glycoprotein G1: interacts with the host receptor.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04084] Glycoprotein G2: class I viral fusion protein that directs fusion of viral and host endosomal membranes, leading to delivery of the nucleocapsid into the cytoplasm. Membrane fusion is mediated by irreversible conformational changes induced upon acidification in the endosome.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04084] Stable signal peptide (SSP): cleaved and functions as a signal peptide. In addition, it is also retained as the third component of the GP complex. The SSP is required for efficient glycoprotein expression, post-translational maturation cleavage of GP1 and GP2, glycoprotein transport to the cell surface plasma membrane, formation of infectious virus particles, and acid pH-dependent glycoprotein-mediated cell fusion.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04084] Publication Abstract from PubMed Lassa virus (LASV) is a notorious human pathogen in West Africa. Its class I trimeric spike complex displays a distinct architecture, and its cell entry mechanism involves unique attributes not shared by other related viruses. We determined the crystal structure of the GP2 fusion glycoprotein from the spike complex of LASV (GP2LASV) in its post-fusion conformation. GP2LASV adopts a canonical helical bundle configuration similarly to other viruses in its family. The core packing of GP2LASV, however, is more organized compared to GP2 from other viruses reducing the formation of internal hydrophobic cavities. We demonstrate a link between the formation of such unfavorable hydrophobic cavities and the efficiencies of membrane fusion and cell entry. Our study suggests that LASV has evolved a more efficient membrane fusogen compared to other viruses from its family by optimizing the post-fusion configuration of its GP2 module.
