SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF VIRUS CHEMOKINE VMIP-II
Overview
Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is the infectious agent responsible for, Kaposi's sarcoma and encodes a protein, macrophage inflammatory protein-II, (vMIP-II), which shows sequence similarity to the human CC chemokines., vMIP-II has broad receptor specificity that crosses chemokine receptor, subfamilies, and inhibits HIV-1 viral entry mediated by numerous chemokine, receptors. In this study, the solution structure of chemically synthesized, vMIP-II was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance. The protein is a, monomer and possesses the chemokine fold consisting of a flexible, N-terminus, three antiparallel beta strands, and a C-terminal alpha helix., Except for the N-terminal residues (residues 1-13) and the last two, C-terminal residues (residues 73-74), the structure of vMIP-II is, well-defined, exhibiting average rmsd of 0.35 and 0.90 A for the backbone, heavy atoms and all heavy atoms of residues 14-72, respectively. Taking, into account the sequence differences between the various CC chemokines, and comparing their three-dimensional structures allows us to implicate, residues that influence the quaternary structure and receptor binding and, activation of these proteins in solution. The analysis of the sequence and, three-dimensional structure of vMIP-II indicates the presence of epitopes, involved in binding two receptors CCR2 and CCR5. We propose that vMIP-II, was initially specific for CCR5 and acquired receptor-binding properties, to CCR2 and other chemokine receptors.
