An immunodominant, cross-reactive B-cell epitope region is located at the C-terminal part of the hamster polyomavirus major capsid protein VP1.

Abstract:

:The VP1 represents the major capsid protein of the hamster polyomavirus (HaPV). Here we describe the mapping of epitopes along the VP1 using Escherichia coli-expressed VP1-dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) fusion proteins and PepScan analysis. By use of DHFR fusion proteins an immunodominant region was localized in the C-terminal part of VP1 between amino acids 320-384. Further epitopes are located in the regions amino acids 1-133 and amino acids 133-320, respectively. There were no obvious differences in the reactivity between sera of tumor-bearing and papilloma-free naturally HaPV-infected hamsters. In contrast, PepScan analysis revealed linear epitopes in the regions amino acids 79-97 and amino acids 353-367 for tumor-bearing animals and amino acids 101-113 and amino acids 165-179 for papilloma-free animals. The region between amino acids 320-384 of HaPV-VP1 was found to be involved in cross-reactivity of VP1 from HaPV and other polyomaviruses. Previously we have demonstrated that heterologous expression of HaPV-VP1 allowed the formation of virus-like particles (VLPs). From epitope mapping data and structural predictions it has been suggested that HaPV-VP1-VLPs may tolerate foreign peptides in the region amino acids 81-88 and the C-terminal part of VP1.
