The increasing challenge posed by viral evolution and immune evasion intensifies the importance of the discovery of bNAbs and their underlying neutralization mechanism. Here, focusing on the pivotal viral protein VP4 of rotavirus (RV), we identify a potent bNAb, 7H13, exhibiting broad-spectrum neutralization across diverse RV genotypes and demonstrating strong prevention of virus infection in female mice. A combination of time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and in situ cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) analysis reveals a counterintuitive dynamic process of virus inactivation, in which 7H13 asymmetrically binds to a conserved epitope in the capsid-proximal aspect of VP4, triggers a conformational switch in a critical residue-F418-thereby disrupts the meta-stable conformation of VP4 essential for normal viral infection. Structure-guided mutagenesis corroborates the essential role of the 7H13 heavy chain I54 in activating F418 switch and destabilizing VP4. These findings define an atypical NAbs' neutralization mechanism and reveal a potential type of virus vulnerable site for universal vaccine and therapeutics design. A single residue switch mediates the broad neutralization of Rotaviruses.,Huang Y, Song F, Zeng Y, Sun H, Sheng R, Wang X, Liu L, Luo G, Jiang Y, Chen Y, Zhang M, Zhang S, Gu Y, Yu H, Li S, Li T, Zheng Q, Ge S, Zhang J, Xia N Nat Commun. 2025 Jan 20;16(1):838. doi: 10.1038/s41467-025-56114-3.
