Abstract:
Rubella virus (RV) is a leading cause of birth defects due to infectious agents. When contracted during pregnancy, RV infection leads to severe damage in fetuses. Despite its medical importance, compared with the related alphaviruses, very little is known about the structure of RV. The RV capsid protein is an essential structural component of virions as well as a key factor in virus-host interactions. Here we describe three crystal structures of the structural domain of the RV capsid protein. The polypeptide fold of the RV capsid protomer has not been observed previously. Combining the atomic structure of the RV capsid protein with the cryoelectron tomograms of RV particles established a low-resolution structure of the virion. Mutational studies based on this structure confirmed the role of amino acid residues in the capsid that function in the assembly of infectious virions.

Evidence coverage: The full structure participates in mutual synergistic folding.
Complex Evidence:
RV capsid proteins form a tight, disulfide-linked dimer. There is beta sheet augmentation between the monomers. The resultant 10-stranded, left-handed twisted sheet forms a partially open β-barrel with the two helices lying in the center of the barrel. The β-strands A and B from one monomer are inserted into the BH loop of the other monomer, forming a tightly bound dimeric structure consistent with the previous observation that the RV capsid protein forms dimers when isolated from the virion (PMID:24282305).
