CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE DENGUE TYPE 3 VIRUS ENVELOPE PROTEIN

Overview

Dengue virus is an emerging global health threat. The major envelope, glycoprotein, E, mediates viral attachment and entry by membrane fusion., Antibodies that bind but fail to neutralize noncognate serotypes enhance, infection. We have determined the crystal structure of a soluble fragment, of the envelope glycoprotein E from dengue virus type 3. The structure, closely resembles those of E proteins from dengue type 2 and tick-borne, encephalitis viruses. Serotype-specific neutralization escape mutants in, dengue virus E proteins are all located on a surface of domain III, which, has been implicated in receptor binding. While antibodies against epitopes, in domain I are nonneutralizing in dengue virus, there are neutralizing, antibodies that recognize serotype-conserved epitopes in domain ... [(full description)]
