Two alternative fusion pathways are compared based on this work and a previous NMR structure of a monomeric lipid-bound gp41 ectodomain construct. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies on an HIV gp41 construct reported by Lakomek and colleagues in this issue of Structure have revealed the conformational dynamics of a possible trimeric prehairpin fusion intermediate and its interactions with lipids. Two alternative fusion pathways are compared based on this work and a previous NMR structure of a monomeric lipid-bound gp41 ectodomain construct. Membrane-enveloped viruses including HIV enter cells by membrane fusion. The fusion reactions are catalyzed by viral envelope glycoproteins, which function as receptor binding and fusion proteins. In the case of type I viral fusion proteins like the HIV gp41, the homotrimeric proteins refold from three-helix bundles on the surface of a circulating virus (Bartesaghi et al., 2013Bartesaghi A.

The energy gained from this highly exothermic refolding reaction is generally believed to fuel the endothermic merger of the viral and cellular membranes. But, exactly how protein refolding and membrane fusion are mechanistically coupled has remained elusive despite the significant progress of many groups that have worked on this important problem for many years. One approach to tackle the problem is to search for structural intermediates between the initial prefusion and postfusion states. Since these intermediates are intrinsically unstable and involve dynamic rearrangements of lipids and the lipid-interacting domains of the fusion proteins, it is perhaps impossible to capture these intermediates by protein crystallography. However, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) offers unique possibilities to search for such dynamic intermediates in the presence of lipids or detergents and the lipid-interacting domains of the fusion proteins. In this issue of Structure, Lakomek et al., 2014Lakomek N.A. Kaurman J.D. Stahl S.J. Wingfield P.T. Structure. 2014; 22 (this issue): 1311-1321Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (16) Google Scholar come a significant step closer to a structural characterization of the so-called prehairpin intermediate of the HIV envelope fusion protein gp41. In this work, they have used a construct encompassing the entire gp41 sequence, except for the fusion peptide (FP) and its linker region (FPPR, combined residues 1–26) and a cytoplasmic C-terminal domain (residues 195–345). This construct (residues 27–194) containing the N-terminal heptad repeat (NHR), cysteine-linked immunodominant loop (IL), C-terminal heptad repeat (CHR), membrane proximal external region (MPER), and transmembrane domain (TMD) was structurally and dynamically analyzed in significant molecular detail by solution NMR in dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles. As expected from the crystal structures of the pre- and postfusion forms of gp41, the NHR and CHR domains formed helices (with minor irregularities at heptad-repeat intervals), and the NHR domain retained its homo-trimeric structure, which was also verified by analytical ultracentrifugation. The CHR domains underwent free motions on ns and μs to ms timescales that were independent of similar motions of and within the trimeric NHR domains. Portions of both heptad repeats and the intervening immunodominant loop interacted transiently with lipid micelles, suggesting that lipid interactions are not only confined to the fusion peptides and TMDs of gp41. The results lead to a model of the prehairpin fusion intermediate that is depicted schematically in the top path of Figure 1. Two earlier NMR studies on slightly different gp41 constructs in association with DPC micelles nicely complement the work of Lakomek et al., 2014Lakomek N.A. Kaurman J.D. Stahl S.J. Wingfield P.T. Structure. 2014; 22 (this issue): 1311-1321Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (16) Google Scholar. In one of these, some of the same authors studied a longer construct that also contained the FP and linker region, i.e., residues 1–194 (Lakomek et al., 2013Lakomek N.A. Kaufman J.D. Stahl S.J. Louis J.M. Grishaev A. Wingfield P.T. Bax A. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 2013; 52: 3911-3915Crossref PubMed Scopus (53) Google Scholar). Although this construct contains both major membrane-interacting ends, i.e., the FP and TM domains, and therefore potentially is a better physiological model to study the prehairpin intermediate and perhaps the yet uncharacterized membrane-anchored postfusion state of gp41, the construct posed severe limitations on the resolution of NMR spectra collected in DPC micelles. The resonances of the entire C-terminal half of the molecule comprising the CHR, MPER, and TMD regions was exchange-broadened beyond detection. However, the FP domains were observable and demonstrated that the FP regions moved independently from the NHR three-helix bundle. A construct just comprising the NHR and CHR linked by a six-amino-acid linker that replaced the IL region of gp41 was structurally characterized in the other study that also employed solution NMR in DPC micelles (Roche et al., 2014Roche J. Louis J.M. Grishaev A. Ying J. Bax A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2014; 111: 3425-3430Crossref PubMed Scopus (39) Google Scholar). These substantial truncations permitted a full resonance assignment and a complete structure to be determined by NMR, which was not possible with the longer constructs. Quite interestingly and perhaps surprisingly, the NHR trimer of this construct was dissociated into monomers by interaction with DPC. This was not due to the lack of the IL domain, because similar results were obtained in its presence. Apparently, anchoring the polypeptide into a membrane mimetic by either the FP or TM domains is required to keep the NHR trimeric. The authors of this latter paper concluded that the unzipped helices may lead to a quite different prehairpin intermediate in which the two heptad repeat helices interact with the two opposing membranes before reassociating into the six-helix bundle for membrane fusion (bottom path of Figure 1). Future experiments, probably requiring structural techniques that work in lipid bilayer membranes, will be needed to distinguish between these two interesting possibilities. Work that has been conducted to study potential structural intermediates in another membrane fusion system, namely involving SNARE proteins, that catalyze the opening of exocytotic fusion pores at neuronal synapses may provide some clues. The dynamic prefusion structures of the vesicle SNARE synaptobrevin (Ellena et al., 2009Ellena J.F. Liang B. Wiktor M. Stein A. Cafiso D.S. Jahn R. Tamm L.K. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2009; 106: 20306-20311Crossref PubMed Scopus (90) Google Scholar) and target membrane SNARE syntaxin (Liang et al., 2013Liang B. Kiessling V. Tamm L.K. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2013; 110: 19384-19389Crossref PubMed Scopus (47) Google Scholar) have been solved by solution NMR in lipid micelles. These structures were also more folded than their soluble counterparts in the absence of lipids and therefore suggested lipid-assisted folding and fusion pathways that are further modulated by membrane curvature (Liang et al., 2014Liang B. Dawidowski D. Ellena J.F. Tamm L.K. Cafiso D.S. Biochemistry. 2014; 53: 1485-1494Crossref PubMed Scopus (20) Google Scholar).
