Crystal structure of a Viral Glycoprotein
Overview
Mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV), a ss-herpesvirus that establishes latent and, persistent infections in mice, is a valuable model for studying complex, virus-host interactions. MCMV encodes the m145 family of putative, immunoevasins with predicted MHC-I structure. Functions attributed to some, family members include downregulation of host MHC-I (m152) and NKG2D, ligands (m145, m152, m155) and interaction with inhibitory or activating, NK receptors (m157). We present the cellular, biochemical and structural, characterization of m153, which is a heavily glycosylated homodimer, that, does not require ss2m or peptide, and is expressed at the surface of, MCMV-infected cells. Its 2.4 A crystal structure confirms that this, compact molecule preserves an MHC-I-like fold and reveals a novel mode of, dimerization, confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis, and a distinctive, disulfide-stabilized extended amino terminus. The structure provides a, useful framework for comparative analysis of the divergent members of the, m145 family.
