VP2 is the minor structural protein of noroviruses (NoV) and may function in NoV particle stability. To determine the function of VP2 in the stability of the NoV particle, we constructed and purified two kinds of virus-like particles (VLPs), namely, VLPs (VP1) and VLPs (VP1+VP2), from Sf9 cells infected with recombinant baculoviruses by using a Bac-to-Bac? baculovirus expression system. The two kinds of VLPs were treated with different phosphate buffers (pH 2 to pH 8); the secondary structure was then analyzed by far UV circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Results showed
that significant disruptions of the secondary structure of proteins were not observed at pH 2 to pH 7. At pH 8, the percentages of α-helix, β-sheet, and β-turn in VLPs (VP1) were decreased from 11% to 8%, from 37% to 32%, and from 20% to 16%, respectively. The percentage of coil was increased from 32% to 44%. By contrast, the percentages of α-helix, β-sheet, and β-turn in VLPs (VP1+VP2) were decreased
from 11% to 10%, from 37% to 35%, and from 20% to 19%, respectively. The percentage of coil was increased from 32% to 36%. VLPs (VP1+VP2) was likely more stable than VLPs (VP1), as indicated by the percentage of the secondary
structures analyzed by CD. These results suggested that VP2 could stabilize the secondary structure of VLPs under alkaline pH conditions. This study provided novel
insights into the molecular mechanism of the function of VP2 in the stability of NoV particles.

Abstract
PDF

VP2 is a structural protein of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). In this study, a FMDV serotype-independent monoclonal antibody (MAb), 4B2, was generated. By screening a phage-displayed random 12-peptide library, we found positive phages displaying the consensus motif ETTXLE (X is any amino acid
(aa)), which is highly homologous to 6ETTLLE11 at the N-terminus of the VP2 protein. Subsequently, a series of GST-fusion proteins expressing a truncated N-terminus of VP2 were examined by western blot analysis using the MAb 4B2. The results indicated that the motif 6ETTLLE11 of VP2 may be the minimal requirement of the epitope recognized by 4B2. Moreover, a 12-aa peptide 2KKTEETTLLEDR13 was shown to be the minimal unit of the epitope with maximal binding activity to 4B2. Alanine-scanning analysis demonstrated thatThr7, Thr8, and Leu10 are the functional residues of the 4B2 epitope Glu6 and Leu9 are required residues, and Glu11 plays a crucial role in the binding of MAb 4B2. The fine mapping of the epitope indicated that MAb 4B2 has the potential to be used in FMDV diagnosis.
