Structure of the Herpes simplex virus type 2 C-capsid with capsid-vertex-specific component
Structural highlights
Function[D6PUY5_HHV2] Capsid vertex-specific component that plays a role during viral DNA encapsidation, assuring correct genome cleavage and presumably stabilizing capsids that contain full-length viral genomes. Participates in the interaction between the capsid and the tegument through interaction with the large tegument protein/LTP.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04025] [SCP_HHV2H] Participates in the assembly of the infectious particles by decorating the outer surface of the capsid shell and thus forming a layer between the capsid and the tegument. Complexes composed of the major capsid protein and small capsomere-interacting protein/SCP assemble together in the host cytoplasm and are translocated to the nucleus, where they accumulate and participate in capsid assembly. [G9I260_HHV2] Structural component of the T=16 icosahedral capsid. The capsid is composed of pentamers and hexamers of major capsid protein/MCP, which are linked together by heterotrimers called triplexes. These triplexes are formed by a single molecule of triplex protein 1/TRX1 and two copies of triplex protein 2/TRX2. Additionally, TRX1 is required for efficient transport of TRX2 to the nucleus, which is the site of capsid assembly.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04018] [A0A0E3U2U0_HHV2] Self-assembles to form an icosahedral capsid with a T=16 symmetry, about 200 nm in diameter, and consisting of 150 hexons and 12 pentons (total of 162 capsomers). Hexons form the edges and faces of the capsid and are each composed of six MCP molecules. In contrast, one penton is found at each of the 12 vertices. Eleven of the pentons are MCP pentamers, while the last vertex is occupied by the portal complex. The capsid is surrounded by a layer of proteinaceous material designated the tegument which, in turn, is enclosed in an envelope of host cell-derived lipids containing virus-encoded glycoproteins.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04016] [A0A1U9ZLV0_HHV2] Large tegument protein that plays multiple roles in the viral cycle. During viral entry, remains associated with the capsid while most of the tegument is detached and participates in the capsid transport toward the host nucleus. Plays a role in the routing of the capsid at the nuclear pore complex and subsequent uncoating. Within the host nucleus, acts as a deneddylase and promotes the degradation of nuclear CRLs (cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases) and thereby stabilizes nuclear CRL substrates, while cytoplasmic CRLs remain unaffected. These modifications prevent host cell cycle S-phase progression and create a favorable environment allowing efficient viral genome replication. Participates later in the secondary envelopment of capsids. Indeed, plays a linker role for the association of the outer viral tegument to the capsids together with the inner tegument protein.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04044] [TRX2_HHV2H] Structural component of the T=16 icosahedral capsid. The capsid is composed of pentamers and hexamers of major capsid protein/MCP, which are linked together by heterotrimers called triplexes. These triplexes are formed by a single molecule of triplex protein 1/TRX1 and two copies of triplex protein 2/TRX2. Additionally, TRX1 is required for efficient transport of TRX2 to the nucleus, which is the site of capsid assembly. [G9I238_HHV2] Capsid vertex-specific component that plays a role during viral DNA encapsidation, assuring correct genome cleavage and presumably stabilizing capsids that contain full-length viral genomes.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04017] Publication Abstract from PubMedHerpes simplex viruses (HSVs) cause human oral and genital ulcer diseases. Patients with HSV-2 have a higher risk of acquiring a human immunodeficiency virus infection. HSV-2 is a member of the alpha-herpesvirinae subfamily that together with the beta- and gamma-herpesvirinae subfamilies forms the Herpesviridae family. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the HSV-2 C-capsid with capsid-vertex-specific component (CVSC) that was determined at 3.75 A using a block-based reconstruction strategy. We present atomic models of multiple conformers for the capsid proteins (VP5, VP23, VP19C, and VP26) and CVSC. Comparison of the HSV-2 homologs yields information about structural similarities and differences between the three herpesviruses sub-families and we identify alpha-herpesvirus-specific structural features. The hetero-pentameric CVSC, consisting of a UL17 monomer, a UL25 dimer and a UL36 dimer, is bound tightly by a five-helix bundle that forms extensive networks of subunit contacts with surrounding capsid proteins, which reinforce capsid stability.
