The structure of DC-SIGNR with a portion of its repeat domain lends insights to modeling of the receptor tetramer.

ABSTRACT: The dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3 non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and its close relative DC-SIGNR recognize various glycoproteins, both pathogenic and cellular, through the receptor lectin domain-mediated carbohydrate recognition. While the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRD) exist as monomers and bind individual carbohydrates with low affinity and are permissive in nature, the full-length receptors form tetramers through their repeat domain and recognize specific ligands with high affinity. To understand the tetramer-based ligand binding avidity, we determined the crystal structure of DC-SIGNR with its last repeat region. Compared to the carbohydrate-bound CRD structure, the structure revealed conformational changes in the calcium and carbohydrate coordination loops of CRD, an additional disulfide bond between the N and the C termini of the CRD, and a helical conformation for the last repeat. On the basis of the current crystal structure and other published structures with sequence homology to the repeat domain, we generated a tetramer model for DC-SIGN/R using homology modeling and propose a ligand-recognition index to identify potential receptor ligands.

Project description:The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is related with the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent spike protein variations have had an effect on the transmission of the virus. In addition to ACE-2, spike proteins can employ DC-SIGN and its analogous receptor, DC-SIGNR, for host evasion. Spike variations in the DC-SIGN interaction region and role of DC-SIGN in immune evasion have not been well defined. To understand the spike protein variations and their binding mode, phylogenetic analysis of the complete GISAID (Global Initiative for Sharing Avian Influenza Data) data of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was considered. In addition, an in silico knockout network evaluation of the SARS-CoV-2 single-cell transcriptome was conducted to determine the key role of DC-SIGN/R in immunological dysregulation. Within the DC-SIGN-interacting region of the SARS-CoV spike protein, the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 displayed remarkable similarity to the SARS-CoV spike protein. Surprisingly, the phylogenetic analysis revealed that the SARS-CoV-2's spike exhibited significantly diverse variants in the DC-SIGN interaction domain, which altered the frequency of these variants. The variation within the DC-SIGN-interacting domain of spike proteins affected the binding of a limited number of variants with DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR and affected their evolution. MMGBSA binding free energies evaluation differed for variants from those of the wild type, suggesting the influence of substitution mutations on the interaction pattern. In silico knockout network analysis of the single-cell transcriptome of Bronchoalveolar Lavage and peripheral blood mononuclear cells revealed that SARS-CoV-2 altered DC-SIGN/R signaling. Early surveillance of diverse SARS-CoV-2 strains could preclude a worsening of the pandemic and facilitate the development of an optimum vaccine against variations. The spike Receptor Binding Domain genetic variants are thought to boost SARS CoV-2 immune evasion, resulting in its higher longevity.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13337-023-00820-3.
