Crystal structure of 2C helicase from enterovirus 71.


ABSTRACT: Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the major pathogen responsible for outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease. EV71 nonstructural protein 2C participates in many critical events throughout the virus life cycle; however, its precise role is not fully understood. Lack of a high-resolution structure made it difficult to elucidate 2C activity and prevented inhibitor development. We report the 2.5 Å-resolution crystal structure of the soluble part of EV71 2C, containing an adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) domain, a cysteine-rich zinc finger with an unusual fold, and a carboxyl-terminal helical domain. Unlike other AAA+ ATPases, EV71 2C undergoes a carboxyl terminus-mediated self-oligomerization, which is dependent on a specific interaction between the carboxyl-terminal helix of one monomer and a deep pocket formed between the ATPase and the zinc finger domains of the neighboring monomer. The carboxyl terminus-mediated self-oligomerization is fundamental to 2C ATPase activity and EV71 replication. Our findings suggest a strategy for inhibition of enterovirus replication by disruption of the self-oligomerization interface of 2C.
