Polyomaviruses are a group of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses that can infect birds, rodents, and primates. Members of the group include simian virus 40 (SV40) and murine polyomavirus (mPyV) as well as a number of human polyomaviruses such as the BK and JC viruses (BKV and JCV, respectively). Recently, a new human polyomavirus was found to be linked to Merkel cell carcinoma, an aggressive type of skin cancer[1]. All polyomavirus capsids are constructed from 360 copies of the major coat protein, VP1, arranged in pentamers on a T=7 icosahedral lattice[2]. The cell-surface receptors for SV40, mPyV, BKV, JCV, and possibly other polyomaviruses are gangliosides, which are complex, sialic acid-containing sphingolipids that reside primarily in lipid rafts. SV40 uses the ganglioside GM1, BKV binds GD1b and GT1b, and mPyV attaches to GD1a and GT1b[3][4]. The glycan-binding properties of the human polyomaviruses are currently being investigated.

Progress toward understanding this GBP paradigm

Carbohydrate ligands

The polyomaviruses use a range of glycans for attachment and cell entry, depending on the virus type. For the simian virus SV40 and murine polyomavirus, the receptors have been identified as gangliosides GM1 and GT1b/GD1a[3], respectively. The human BK polyomavirus binds to sialylated glycans that include gangliosides GD1b and GT1b [4][5]. The human JC polyomavirus uses sialylated glycans[6][7][8]as well as the serotonin receptor 5HT2aR[9]as attachment receptors. The receptors for other polyomaviruses, such as the recently identified Merkel Cell Polyomavirus[1], have not been characterized, but at least some of these are likely to also use glycans for cell attachment. Participating investigators (PIs) of the CFG have made major contributions to our understanding of the structural and functional basis of attachment of polyomaviruses to their receptors[3][10][11][12][13]

Cellular expression of GBP and ligands

Varies, depending on virus type:
JC Polyomavirus: persists in the kidney [14]. In immunocompromised individuals, the virus infects glial cells, including astrocytes and the myelin-producing oligodendrocytes, resulting in the fatal disease PML (Progressive Multifocal Leukoecenlopathy) [15][16][17].
BK Polyomavirus: Infects genitourinary tract [18][19][20], causes PVN (Polyomavirus-Associated Nephropathy).

Biosynthesis of ligands

Gangliosides, sialylated oligosaccharides, are synthesized by the host by well defined pathways (Glucosylceramide biosynthetic pathways).

Structure

Crystal structures are available for complete mPyV particles and for mPyV VP1 pentamers in complex with ganglioside receptor fragments[21][10] as well as for the SV40 VP1 pentamer in complex with GM1 [12]. The available structures show that VP1 forms a scaffold that can modulate the specificity of interaction through small changes in surface loops. We plan to generate a set of perhaps five different structures that highlight conserved as well as non-conserved interactions with different gangliosides, thereby providing a platform for understanding and altering receptor-binding properties. This work is important, as there are few known examples of viral proteins from non-enveloped viruses with a common fold for which subtle modulations of surface properties result in altered glycan-binding specificities.


A selection of gangliosides is shown below. GM1, GD1a, GD1b and GT1b are used by several polyomaviruses as receptors.

Biological roles of GBP-ligand interaction

Cell attachment, required for entry and infectivity, determinant of tropism[3] [5][4]. Recent data show that the structure of ganglioside GM1 determines SV40-induced membrane invagination and infection[22]. Subsequent entry processes depend for many polyomaviruses on proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum[23].

CFG resources used in investigations

The best examples of CFG contributions to this paradigm are described below, with links to specific data sets. For a complete list of CFG data and resources relating to this paradigm, see the CFG database search results for "polyoma".

Glycan profiling

N/A


Glycogene microarray

VP1 is not represented on the CFG microarrays, which only contain probes for mouse and human glycogenes.

Knockout mouse lines

None

Glycan array

The CFG glycan array was used to determine the ligand specificity for SV40. This information was then used to crystallize SV40 VP1 in complex with the oligosaccharide portion of the GM1 gangloside. To see all glycan array results for VP1, click here.

Related GBPs

Functionally (but not structurally) related are the pentameric B proteins of the AB5-type toxins, such as Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB). These also interact with gangliosides.
