Abstract

Following internalisation, viruses employ the changing environment of maturing endosomes as cues to promote endosomal escape, a process mediated by viral glycoproteins. Specifically, we previously showed that both high [K + ] and low pH promote entry of Bunyamwera virus (BUNV), the prototypical bunyavirus. Here, we used sub-tomogram averaging combined with AlphaFold, to generate a pseudo-atomic model of the whole glycoprotein envelope of BUNV. This allowed us to unambiguously locate the Gc fusion domain and its chaperone Gn within the floor domain of the spike. We also confirmed that low pH and high [K + ] alters the viral glycoproteins, resulting in an activated intermediate state functionally-distinct from the highly ordered ground state, and we localize these changes to the floor domain. Biochemical data suggests that in this intermediate state the viral fusion loops are partially exposed and selectively interact with host cell membranes. Taken together, we reveal new mechanistic understanding of the requirements for virus entry.

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.
