Under the current model, the protein has at least three conformational states: pre-fusion native state, pre-hairpin intermediate state, and post-fusion hairpin state. During viral and target cell membrane fusion, the coiled coil regions (heptad repeats) assume a trimer-of-hairpins structure, positioning the fusion peptide in close proximity to the C-terminal region of the ectodomain. The formation of this structure appears to drive apposition and subsequent fusion of viral and target cell membranes.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04099] Publication Abstract from PubMed Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against highly pathogenic coronaviruses represent promising candidates for clinical intervention. Here, we isolated a potent neutralizing monoclonal antibody, MERS-S41, from a yeast displayed scFv library using the S protein as a bait. To uncover the neutralization mechanism, we determined structures of MERS-S41 Fab in complex with the trimeric spike glycoprotein by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). We observed four distinct classes of the complex structure, which showed that the MERS-S41 Fab bound to the "up" receptor binding domain (RBD) with full saturation and also bound to an accessible partially lifted "down" RBD, providing a structural basis for understanding how mAbs bind to trimeric spike glycoproteins. Structure analysis of the epitope and cell surface staining assays demonstrated that virus entry is blocked predominantly by direct competition with the host receptor, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4).
