Dengue virus infection can cause dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Dengue NS1 is multifunctional. The intracellular dimeric NS1 (iNS1) forms part of the viral replication complex. Previous studies suggest the extracellular secreted NS1 (sNS1), which is a major factor contributing to DHF, exists as hexamers. The structure of the iNS1 is well-characterised but not that of sNS1. Here we show by cryoEM that the recombinant sNS1 exists in multiple oligomeric states: the tetrameric (stable and loose conformation) and hexameric structures. Stability of the stable and loose tetramers is determined by the conformation of their N-terminal domain - elongated β-sheet or β-roll. Binding of an anti-NS1 Fab breaks the loose tetrameric and hexameric sNS1 into dimers, whereas the stable tetramer remains largely unbound. Our results show detailed quaternary organization of different oligomeric states of sNS1 and will contribute towards the design of dengue therapeutics.
登革热病毒感染可导致登革出血热(DHF)。登革 NS1 具有多功能性。细胞内二聚体 NS1(iNS1)构成病毒复制复合物的一部分。先前的研究表明,细胞外分泌的 NS1(sNS1)是导致 DHF 的主要因素,其存在形式为六聚体。iNS1 的结构已得到很好的描述,但 sNS1 的结构尚未确定。在这里,我们通过 cryoEM 显示重组 sNS1 存在于多种寡聚状态:四聚体(稳定和松散构象)和六聚体结构。稳定和松散四聚体的稳定性取决于其 N 端结构域的构象 - 伸展的β-片层或β-滚。抗 NS1 Fab 的结合将松散的四聚体和六聚体 sNS1 分解为二聚体,而稳定的四聚体则基本未结合。我们的结果显示了 sNS1 不同寡聚状态的详细四级组织,这将有助于登革热治疗药物的设计。
