CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE DENGUE 2 VIRUS ENVELOPE PROTEIN
Overview
Dengue virus is an emerging global health threat. Its major envelope, glycoprotein, E, mediates viral attachment and entry by membrane fusion. A, crystal structure of the soluble ectodomain of E from dengue virus type 2, reveals a hydrophobic pocket lined by residues that influence the pH, threshold for fusion. The pocket, which accepts a hydrophobic ligand, opens and closes through a conformational shift in a beta-hairpin at the, interface between two domains. These features point to a structural, pathway for the fusion-activating transition and suggest a strategy for, finding small-molecule inhibitors of dengue and other flaviviruses.
