Viral Tropism and Cellular Receptors Viral Tropism A specific pathologic “signature” left by a viral infection, usually related to its ability to replicate only in specific cell types Samllpox (scarring from recovered scabes) Polio (paralytic attack) Yellow Fever (acute jaundice) Rhinovirus (common cold) Mechanisms of tropism Cellular receptors; differential expression limits viral entry into specific cell types that express the cellular receptor Post-entry factors; cell type must be permissive for viral replication Transcription and translation machinery compatible with viral life cycle Innate anti-viral defenses can be overcomed by viral encoded proteins or these defenses do not affect viral life cycle For lipid enveloped viruses, a specific viral envelope Attachment Protein (usually glycosylated) interacts with the cognate cell surfcae receptor to bring about fusion of the virus membrane and the host-cell membrane Varieties of Viral Receptors Attachment and entry are distinct events, and may be mediated by different receptors Varieties of Viral Receptors For some viruses, attachment and entry receptors are complementary but distinct Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (“cold sores”) Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (genital lesions) Cellular attachment is primarily via heparan sulfate, but productive entry into the cell requires a coreceptor and interaction with a different envelope glycoprotein Herpes Virus has 11 membrane glycoproteins, four of which are involved in attachment and entry gB, gC (attachment--interacts with heparan sulfate) gD, gH/gL (entry--interacts with coreceptor) Expression of these receptors in the right place and combination can account for some of HSV tropism Many coreceptors have been described Entry receptors for Herpes Simplex Viruses Name Al terna te Desi gnation HSV-1 HSV-2 hTR2 HveA + + hNectin 1 HveC + + 3-O-su lpha ted HS hNectin 2 CD155 HveB HveD + - - +/- - + Ti ssue Expres sion Lu ng, Liver, kid ney, Heart, Brai n, Pl ace nta Brai n, Sp inal Cord, Prosta te, Pla cen ta, Liver Li ve r, Pla cen ta, He art, Kid ney, Pa ncre as Pla cen ta, Prosta te, End othe lial ce lls Brai n, Intes tine , Peyer's Pa tch es, T-cell s Varieties of Viral Receptors For some viruses, attachment and entry receptors are complementary but distinct HIV-1 (only one envelope glycoprotein) Requires a primary receptor (CD4) and a coreceptor (chemokine receptor) for viral entry Sequential interaction of the virus envelope glycoprotein with CD4 and coreceptor results in fusion between the virus and host cell membrane Use of Different Coreceptors Largely Accounts for Viral Tropism (HIV) T-tropic M-tropic CD4+ CD4+ CD4+ CCR5+ CXCR4+ Primary T cells CCR5+ CXCR4+ Macrophages T cell Line Use of Different Coreceptors Largely Accounts for Viral Tropism (HIV) T-tropic M-tropic CD4+ CD4+ CD4+ CCR5+ CXCR4+ Primary T cells CCR5+ CXCR4+ Macrophages T cell Line ccr5/ccr5 81% of Caucasian Get infected normally Progress to AIDS normally ccr5/Dccr5 15-18% of Caucasians Get infected normally But progress to AIDS 2-4 years more slowly Dccr5 /Dccr5 1% of Caucasians Highly Resistant to Infection Loss of CCR5 function but otherwise normal (no side effects) This makes CCR5 an attractive drug target Varieties of Viral Receptors For some viruses, attachment and entry receptors are the same, but membrane fusion is not at the cell surface, membrane fusion is triggered by low pH in endosomes Influenza HA glycoprotein binds to sialic acid receptor on cell surface Virus and receptor are endocytosed Low pH in endosomes trigger conformational changes in HA which results in membrane fusion Fusion Peptide Viral Receptors: Some Principles A variety of molecules, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans, can serve as viral receptors. Different viruses employ different cellular receptors. A given virus isolate may employ several alternate cellular molecules as receptors. In some instances, viral entry requires two or more different coreceptors on the cell surface. Usually, both co-receptors are necessary and neither alone is sufficient. Different isolates of the same virus may prefer different receptors. A specific virus isolate may alter its receptor preference by selection of a mutant VAP during serial passage in animals or cell cultures. The domain of the receptor that binds the virus may be either a polypeptide sequence or a carbohydrate moiety, often located at the external tip of the receptor molecule. Not all cells that express the viral receptor are capable of supporting the complete cycle of viral replication.
