Conformational changes in Sindbis virus E1 glycoprotein induced by monoclonal antibody binding.

چکیده
A monoclonal antibody (30.2) raised against Sindbis virus is able to precipitate both E1 and PE2 from [35S]methionine-labelled infected cells solubilized with non-ionic detergent. Addition of SDS to the lysate abolishes the precipitation of PE2 without affecting that of E1, thus demonstrating that the antibody is specific for E1. Other Sindbis E1-specific monoclonal antibodies (30.11 and 30.12) precipitate only E1, even from lysates containing only non-ionic detergent, and their presence in such a lysate prevents precipitation of PE2 by antibody 30.2. These data indicate that E1-PE2 complexes stable in the presence of non-ionic detergent can be precipitated as such by one antibody, but that binding of the other antibodies induces dissociation of E1 and PE2. Competition experiments using 125I-labelled antibodies indicate that all three antibodies bind to distinct antigenic sites on the E1 molecule. Antibodies 30.11 and 30.12 stimulate each other's binding in such experiments, which suggests that binding of either of these antibodies alters the conformation of E1 in such a way as to increase its affinity for the other, and at the same time to release PE2. Antibody 30.2 also enhances binding of the other two antibodies, but this stimulation is only weakly reciprocated.

Sindbis virus conformational changes induced by a neutralizing anti-E1 monoclonal antibody.
A rare Sindbis virus anti-E1 neutralizing monoclonal antibody, Sin-33, was investigated to determine the mechanism of in vitro neutralization. A cryoelectron microscopic reconstruction of Sindbis virus (SVHR) neutralized with FAb from Sin-33 (FAb-33) revealed conformational changes on the surface of the virion at a resolution of 24 A. FAb-33 was found to bind E1 in less than 1:1 molar ratios, a...
متن کاملXgtll Expression Library To Localize a Neutralizing Antibody-Binding Site in Glycoprotein E2 of Sindbis Virus
The Sindbis virus envelope contains two species of integral membrane glycoproteins, El and E2. These proteins form heterodimers, and three dimeric units assemble to form spikes incorporated into the viral surface which play an important role in the specific attachment of Sindbis virus to host cells. To map the neutralization epitopes on the surface of the virus, we constructed a Agtll expressio...
متن کاملIdentification of antigenically important domains in the glycoproteins of Sindbis virus by analysis of antibody escape variants.
To study important epitopes on glycoprotein E2 of Sindbis virus, eight variants selected to be singly or multiply resistant to six neutralizing monoclonal antibodies reactive against E2, as well as four revertants which had regained sensitivity to neutralization, were sequenced throughout the E2 region. To study antigenic determinants in glycoprotein E1, four variants selected for resistance to...

Epitope-G1 of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) G glycoprotein has been genetically and antigenically conserved among various isolates of BEFV and only reacts with anti-BEFV neutralising antibodies. Therefore, it is a candidate antigen for development of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serological identification bovine ephemeral fever (BEF)-infected animals. The aim of this ...
