Identification and localization of conserved antigenic epitopes on the G2 proteins of California serogroup Bunyaviruses.

Abstract:

:California (CAL) serogroup Bunyaviruses are significant agents of arboviral encephalitis in humans. They are maintained and transmitted in nature by mosquitoes to preferred vertebrate amplifying hosts. The G2 envelope glycoprotein of La Crosse virus (LAC) was proposed by Ludwig et al. to be a determinant for virus attachment to mosquito midgut cells. Monoclonal antibodies to G2 neutralize the infectivity of pronase-treated virus for mosquito cells. We determined the location of antigenic sites on the LAC G2. We showed that antigenic areas present on the LAC G2 protein are conserved among viruses in the California encephalitis and Melao subgroups of the CAL serogroup, but not in trivatattus virus, nor within the BUN serogroup. A comparison of the G2 exodomain amino acid sequences of eight CAL and three BUN viruses with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) binding data predicted the possible location of the antigenic sites. We used in vitro mutagenesis of the LAC G2 gene to construct a set of G2 genes with replacement sequences in the coding regions for the suspected MAb binding sites. The native and mutated proteins were expressed in Hela cells and the ability of MAbs to bind to the expressed proteins was tested. Four discontinuous amino acid sequences, conserved among eight CAL serogroup viruses, were identified as contributing to two conformational binding domains for neutralizing LAC G2 MAbs.
