Entero virus 71 (EV71) causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and occasionally leads to severe neurological complications and even death. Scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2) is a functional receptor for EV71, that mediates viral attachment, internalization, and uncoating. However, the exact binding site of EV71 on SCARB2 is unknown. In this study, we generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to human but not mouse SCARB2. It is named JL2, and it can effectively inhibit EV71 infection of target cells. Using a set of chimeras of human and mouse SCARB2, we identified that the region containing residues 77-113 of human SCARB2 contributes significantly to JL2 binding. The structure of the SCARB2-JL2 complex revealed that JL2 binds to the apical region of SCARB2 involving α-helices 2, 5, and 14. Our results provide new insights into the potential binding sites for EV71 on SCARB2 and the molecular mechanism of EV71 entry.
肠道病毒71型(EV71)可引起手足口病(HFMD),偶尔会导致严重的神经并发症甚至死亡。清道夫受体B类成员2(SCARB2)是EV71的功能性受体,介导病毒的附着、内化和脱壳。然而,EV71在SCARB2上的确切结合位点尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们制备了一种单克隆抗体(mAb),该抗体可与人而非小鼠的SCARB2结合。它被命名为JL2,并且能够有效抑制EV71对靶细胞的感染。通过使用一组人源和鼠源SCARB2的嵌合体,我们确定人源SCARB2中包含第77 - 113位残基的区域对JL2的结合有显著贡献。SCARB2 - JL2复合物的结构表明,JL2结合于SCARB2的顶端区域,该区域涉及α螺旋2、5和14。我们的结果为EV71在SCARB2上的潜在结合位点以及EV71进入细胞的分子机制提供了新的见解。
