Abstract

The retroviral surface envelope protein subunit (SU) mediates receptor binding and triggers membrane fusion by the transmembrane subunit (TM). SU evolves rapidly under strong selective conditions, resulting in seemingly unrelated SU structures in highly divergent retroviruses. Structural modeling of the SU of several retroviruses and related endogenous retroviral elements with AlphaFold identifies a TM-proximal SU β-sandwich structure that has been conserved in the orthoretroviruses for at least 110 million years. The SU of orthoretroviruses diversified by differential expansion of the β -sandwich core to form domains involved in virus-host interactions. The β-sandwich domain is also conserved in the SU equivalent GP 1 of Ebola virus although with a significantly different orientation in the trimeric envelope protein structure. The unified structural view of orthoretroviral SU and filoviral GP 1 identifies an ancient, structurally conserved and evolvable domain underlying the structural diversity of orthoretroviral SU and filoviral GP 1 .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
