Identification of Aptamer-Binding Sites in Hepatitis C Virus Envelope Glycoprotein E2
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) encodes two envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2. Our previous work selected a specific aptamer ZE2, which could bind to E2 with high affinity, with a great potential for developing new molecular probes as an early diagnostic reagents or therapeutic drugs targeting HCV. In this study, the binding sites between E2 and aptamer ZE2 were further explored. E2 was truncated to 15...
متن کاملTransmembrane domains of hepatitis C virus envelope glycoproteins: residues involved in E1E2 heterodimerization and involvement of these domains in virus entry.
The transmembrane (TM) domains of hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 have been shown to play multiple roles during the biogenesis of the E1E2 heterodimer. By using alanine scanning insertion mutagenesis within the TM domains of HCV envelope glycoproteins, we have previously shown that the central regions of these domains as well as the N-terminal part of the TM domain of E...
متن کاملIncorporation of Hepatitis C Virus E1 and E2 Glycoproteins: The Keystones on a Peculiar Virion
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) encodes two envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2. Their structure and mode of fusion remain unknown, and so does the virion architecture. The organization of the HCV envelope shell in particular is subject to discussion as it incorporates or associates with host-derived lipoproteins, to an extent that the biophysical properties of the virion resemble more very-low-density l...
متن کاملAlanine scanning mutagenesis of hepatitis C virus E2 cysteine residues: Insights into E2 biogenesis and antigenicity.
Envelope glycoprotein 2 (E2) of hepatitis C virus contains 18 conserved cysteine (Cys) residues in its ectodomain. By cysteine-alanine mutagenesis and function analysis, six Cys in H77 E2 (C494, C508, C552, C564, C607 and C644) were found to be indispensable for recognition by conformation-dependent mAb H53. Removal of any of these Cys residues did not affect E2 heterodimerization with E1, but ...
متن کاملEvaluation of full length E1 and E2 glycoproteins of HCV expressed in P. pastoris as a protein-based vaccine candidate
Introduction: The development of an effective vaccine against Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is still a target of intensive vaccine research. The HCV envelope proteins E1 and E2 which can induce broadly neutralizing antibodies are the major candidate for this purpose. Different types of expression systems have been used to express these glycoproteins. In this study, an expression system using Pichia p...
