The human monoclonal antibody C10 exhibits extraordinary cross-reactivity, potently neutralizing Zika virus (ZIKV) and the four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV1-DENV4). Here we describe a comparative structure-function analysis of C10 bound to the envelope (E) protein dimers of the five viruses it neutralizes. We demonstrate that the C10 Fab has high affinity for ZIKV and DENV1 but not for DENV2, DENV3, and DENV4. We further show that the C10 interaction with the latter viruses requires an E protein conformational landscape that limits binding to only one of the three independent epitopes per virion. This limited affinity is nevertheless counterbalanced by the particle's icosahedral organization, which allows two different dimers to be reached by both Fab arms of a C10 immunoglobulin. The epitopes' geometric distribution thus confers C10 its exceptional neutralization breadth. Our results highlight the importance not only of paratope/epitope complementarity but also the topological distribution for epitope-focused vaccine design.
人源单克隆抗体 C10 表现出非凡的交叉反应性,能够有效中和寨卡病毒(ZIKV)和四种血清型登革热病毒(DENV1-DENV4)。在这里,我们描述了 C10 与它中和的五种病毒的包膜(E)蛋白二聚体结合的比较结构功能分析。我们证明 C10 Fab 对 ZIKV 和 DENV1 具有高亲和力,但对 DENV2、DENV3 和 DENV4 没有亲和力。我们进一步表明,C10 与后两种病毒的相互作用需要一种 E 蛋白构象景观,这种构象景观限制了与每个病毒粒子上三个独立表位中的一个结合。尽管亲和力有限,但该粒子的二十面体组织平衡了这一点,允许 C10 免疫球蛋白的两个 Fab 臂到达两个不同的二聚体。因此,表位的几何分布赋予了 C10 异常广泛的中和能力。我们的研究结果不仅强调了互补位/表位互补性的重要性,还强调了表位聚焦疫苗设计的拓扑分布的重要性。
