Viruses in this under-studied genus cause CNS infections or fever with debilitating arthralgia/myalgia syndromes, with no effective treatment. The main surface antigen, glycoprotein Gc ( approximately 1,000 residues), has a variable N-terminal half (Gc(S)) targeted by the patients' antibody response and a conserved C-terminal moiety (Gc(F)) responsible for membrane fusion during cell entry. Here, we report the X-ray structure of post-fusion La Crosse and Schmallenberg virus Gc(F), revealing the molecular determinants for hairpin formation and trimerization required to drive membrane fusion. We further experimentally confirm the role of residues in the fusion loops and in a vestigial endoplasmic reticulum (ER) translocation sequence at the Gc(S)-Gc(F) junction. The resulting knowledge provides essential molecular underpinnings for future development of potential therapeutic treatments and vaccines.
