CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF VSV-INDIANA (MUDD-SUMMERS STRAIN) GLYCOPROTEIN UNDER ITS ACIDIC CONFORMATION
Overview
The vesicular stomatitis virus has an atypical membrane fusion, glycoprotein (G) exhibiting a pH-dependent equilibrium between two forms, at the virus surface. Membrane fusion is triggered during the transition, from the high- to low-pH form. The structure of G in its low-pH form shows, the classic hairpin conformation observed in all other fusion proteins in, their postfusion conformation, in spite of a novel fold combining features, of fusion proteins from classes I and II. The structure provides a, framework for understanding the reversibility of the G conformational, change. Unexpectedly, G is homologous to gB of herpesviruses, which raises, important questions on viral evolution.
