Function

[FUS_HRSVR] Class I viral fusion protein. Under the current model, the protein has at least 3 conformational states: pre-fusion native state, pre-hairpin intermediate state, and post-fusion hairpin state. During viral and plasma cell membrane fusion, the heptad repeat (HR) regions assume a trimer-of-hairpins structure, positioning the fusion peptide in close proximity to the C-terminal region of the ectodomain. The formation of this structure appears to drive apposition and subsequent fusion of viral and plasma cell membranes. Directs fusion of viral and cellular membranes leading to delivery of the nucleocapsid into the cytoplasm. This fusion is pH independent and occurs directly at the outer cell membrane. The trimer of F1-F2 (protein F) interacts with glycoprotein G at the virion surface. Upon binding of G to heparan sulfate, the hydrophobic fusion peptide is unmasked and interacts with the cellular membrane, inducing the fusion between host cell and virion membranes. Notably, RSV fusion protein is able to interact directly with heparan sulfate and therefore actively participates in virus attachment. Furthermore, the F2 subunit was identifed as the major determinant of RSV host cell specificity. Later in infection, proteins F expressed at the plasma membrane of infected cells mediate fusion with adjacent cells to form syncytia, a cytopathic effect that could lead to tissue necrosis. The fusion protein is also able to trigger p53-dependent apoptosis (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a major cause of a number of severe respiratory diseases, including bronchiolitis and pneumonia, in infants and young children. The HRSV F protein, a glycoprotein essential for viral entry, is a primary target for vaccine and drug development. Two heptad-repeat regions within the HRSV F sequence were predicted by the computer program learncoil-vmf. These regions are thought to form trimer-of-hairpins-like structures, similar to those found in the fusion proteins of several enveloped viruses. The hairpin structure likely brings the viral and cellular membranes into close apposition, thereby facilitating membrane fusion and subsequent viral entry. Here, we show that peptides, denoted HR-N and HR-C, corresponding to the heptad-repeat regions from the N-terminal and C-terminal segments of the HRSV F protein, respectively, form a stable alpha-helical trimer of heterodimers. The HRSV N/C complex was crystallized and its x-ray structure was determined at 2.3-A resolution. As anticipated, the complex is a six-helix bundle in which the HR-N peptides form a three-stranded, central coiled coil, and the HR-C peptides pack in an antiparallel manner into hydrophobic grooves on the coiled-coil surface. There is remarkable structural similarity between the HRSV N/C complex and the fusion protein core of other viruses, including HIV-1 gp41. In addition, earlier work has shown that HRSV HR-C peptides, like the HIV-1 gp41 C peptides, inhibit viral infection. Thus, drug discovery and vaccine development strategies aimed at inhibiting viral entry by blocking hairpin formation may be applied to the inhibition of HRSV.
