- W3197940956 abstract "Abstract Arenavirus entry into host cells occurs through a low pH-dependent fusion with late endosomes that is mediated by the viral glycoprotein complex (GPC). The mechanisms of GPC-mediated membrane fusion and of virus targeting to late endosomes are not well understood. To gain insights into arenavirus fusion, we examined cell-cell fusion induced by the Old World Lassa virus (LASV) GPC complex. LASV GPC-mediated cell fusion is more efficient and occurs at higher pH in cells expressing human LAMP1 compared to cells lacking this cognate receptor, but this receptor is not absolutely required for virus entry. GPC-induced fusion progresses through the same lipid intermediates as fusion mediated by other viral glycoproteins – a lipid curvature-sensitive intermediate upstream of hemifusion and a hemifusion intermediate downstream of acid-dependent steps that can be arrested in the cold. Importantly, GPC-mediated fusion is specifically augmented by an anionic lipid, bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP), which is highly enriched in late endosomes. We show that BMP promotes late steps of LASV fusion downstream of hemifusion – the formation and enlargement of fusion pores. This lipid also specifically promotes cell fusion mediated by GPC of the unrelated New World Junin arenavirus. The BMP-dependence of post-hemifusion stages of arenavirus fusion suggests that these viruses evolved to use this lipid as a cofactor to direct virus entry to late endosomes. Author Summary Pathogenic arenaviruses pose a serious health threat. The viral envelope glycoprotein GPC mediates attachment to host cells and drives virus entry via endocytosis and low pH-dependent fusion within late endosomes. Understanding the host factors and processes that are essential for arenavirus fusion may identify novel therapeutic targets. To delineate the mechanism of arenavirus entry, we examined cell-cell fusion induced by the Old World Lassa virus GPC proteins at low pH. Lassa virus fusion was augmented by the LAMP1 receptor and progressed through lipid curvature-sensitive intermediates, such as hemifusion (merger of contacting leaflets of viral and cell membrane without the formation of a fusion pore). We found that most GPC-mediated fusion events were off-path hemifusion structures and that the transition from hemifusion to full fusion and fusion pore enlargement were specifically promoted by an anionic lipid, bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate, which is highly enriched in late endosomes. This lipid also specifically promotes fusion of unrelated New World Junin arenavirus. Our results imply that arenaviruses evolved to use bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate to enter cells from late endosomes." @default.
