Exploring inhibitor structural features required to engage the 216-loop of human parainfluenza virus type-3 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase.

ABSTRACT: Human parainfluenza virus type-3 is a leading cause of acute respiratory infection in infants and children. There is currently neither vaccine nor clinically effective treatment for parainfluenza virus infection. Hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein is a key protein in viral infection, and its inhibition has been a target for inhibitor development. In this study, we explore the structural features required for Neu2en derivatives to efficiently lock-open the 216-loop of the human parainfluenza virus type-3 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein.

Project description:To understand the molecular evolution of human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2), 21 Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase (HN) gene sequences covering seven Chinese provinces in 2011 and 2017 to 2021 were combined with 90 published HN sequences worldwide for phylogenetic analysis. The result showed that global HPIV2 could be classified into two distinct clusters (I and II), five lineages (IA to IIE), and four sublineages (IB1 and 2, and IIE1 and 2). The minimum genetic distances between different clusters and lineages were 0.049 and 0.014, respectively. In the last decade, one lineage (IID) and three sublineages (IB1, IB2, and IIE1) have been cocirculating in China, with the sublineages IB2 and IIE1 dominating, while sublineages IB1 and IIE1 are dominant globally. In addition, the spread of HPIV2 had relative spatial clustering, and sublineage IB2 has only been detected in China thus far. The overall evolution rate of HPIV2 was relatively low, on the order of 10-4 substitutions/site/year, except for sublineage IB2 at 10-3 substitutions/site/year. Furthermore, human-animal transmission was observed, suggesting that the HPIV2 might have jumped out of animal reservoirs in approximately 1922, the predicted time of a common ancestor. The entire HN protein was under purifying/negative selection, and the specific amino acid changes and two novel N-glycosylation sites (N316 and N517) in sublineages IB1, IB2, and IIE1 were mostly located in the globular head region of the HN protein. In this study, preliminary evolutionary characteristics of HPIV2 based on the HN gene were obtained, increasing the recognition of the evolution and adaptation of HPIV2. IMPORTANCE The phylogenetic analysis showed that global HPIV2 could be classified into two distinct clusters (I and II) and five lineages (IA to IIE) with at least 0.049 and 0.014 genetic distances between clusters and lineages, respectively. Furthermore, lineages IB and IIE could be further divided into two sublineages (IB1-2 and IIE1-2). All China sequences belong to one lineage and three sublineages (IB1, IB2, IID, and IIE1), among which sublineages IB2 and IIE1 are predominant and cocirculating in China, while sublineages IB1 and IIE1 are dominant globally. The overall evolution rate of HPIV2 is on the order of 10-4 substitutions/site/year, with the highest rate of 2.18 × 10-3 for sublineage IB2. The entire HN protein is under purifying/negative selection, and the specific amino acid substitutions and two novel N-glycosylation sites (N316 and N517) in sublineages IB1, IB2, and IIE1 are mostly located in the globular head region of the HN protein.

Project description:Zanamivir (4-guanidino-Neu5Ac2en [4-GU-DANA]) inhibits not only the neuraminidase activity but also the receptor interaction of the human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), blocking receptor binding and subsequent fusion promotion. All activities of the HPIV3 variant ZM1 HN (T193I/I567V) are less sensitive to 4-GU-DANA's effects. The T193I mutation in HN confers both increased receptor binding and increased neuraminidase activity, as well as reduced sensitivities of both activities to 4-GU-DANA inhibition, consistent with a single site on the HN molecule carrying out both catalysis and binding. We now provide evidence that the HPIV3 variant's resistance to receptor-binding inhibition by 4-GU-DANA is related to a reduced affinity of the HN receptor-binding site for this compound as well as to an increase in the avidity of HN for the receptor. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) HN and HPIV3 HN respond differently to inhibition in ways that suggest a fundamental distinction between them. NDV HN-receptor binding is less sensitive than HPIV3 HN-receptor binding to 4-GU-DANA, while its neuraminidase activity is highly sensitive. Both HPIV3 and NDV HNs are sensitive to receptor-binding inhibition by the smaller molecule DANA. However, for NDV HN, some receptor binding cannot be inhibited. These data are consistent with the presence in NDV HN of a second receptor-binding site that is devoid of enzyme activity and has a negligible, if any, affinity for 4-GU-DANA. Avidity for the receptor contributes to resistance by allowing the receptor to compete effectively with inhibitors for interaction with HN, while the further determinant of resistance is the reduced binding of the inhibitor molecule to the binding pocket on HN. Based upon our data and recent three-dimensional structural information on the HPIV3 and NDV HNs, we propose mechanisms for the observed sensitivity and resistance of HN to receptor-binding inhibition and discuss the implications of these mechanisms for the distribution of HN functions.
