Human rhinovirus serotype 2 (HRV2) belongs to the minor group of HRVs that bind to members of the LDL-receptor family including the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-receptor (VLDL-R). We have determined the structures of the complex between HRV2 and soluble fragments of the VLDL-R to 15 A resolution by cryo-electron microscopy. The receptor fragments, which include the first three ligand-binding repeats of the VLDL-R (V1-3), bind to the small star-shaped dome on the icosahedral 5-fold axis. T ...[more]
