Function

[EFRD1_HUMAN] This endogenous retroviral envelope protein has retained its original fusogenic properties and participates in trophoblast fusion and the formation of a syncytium during placenta morphogenesis. The interaction with MFSD2A is apparently important for this process (PubMed:18988732).^[1] Endogenous envelope proteins may have kept, lost or modified their original function during evolution but this one can still make pseudotypes with MLV, HIV-1 or SIV-1 virions and confer infectivity. Retroviral envelope proteins mediate receptor recognition and membrane fusion during early infection. The surface protein mediates receptor recognition, while the transmembrane protein anchors the envelope heterodimer to the viral membrane through one transmembrane domain. The other hydrophobic domain, called fusion peptide, mediates fusion of the viral membrane with the target cell membrane (PubMed:14694139).^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

HERV-FRD is a human endogenous retrovirus that entered the human genome 40 million years ago. Its envelope gene, syncytin-2, was diverted by an ancestral host most probably because of its fusogenic property, for a role in placenta morphogenesis. It was maintained in a functional state in all primate branches as a bona fide cellular gene, submitted to a very low mutation rate as compared to infectious retrovirus genomes. The structure of the syncytin-2 protein thus provides a good insight into that of the oldest mammalian retroviral envelope. Here, we report the crystal structure of a central fragment of its "fossil" ectodomain, allowing a remarkable superposition with the structures of the corresponding domains of present-day infectious retroviruses, in spite of a more than 60% divergent sequence. These results suggest the existence of a unique structural solution selected by these proteins for their fusogenic function.
