Abstract
Human enterovirus 71 is a picornavirus causing hand, foot, and mouth disease that may progress to fatal encephalitis in infants and small children. As of now, no cure is available for enterovirus 71 infections. Small molecule inhibitors binding into a hydrophobic pocket within capsid viral protein 1 were previously shown to effectively limit infectivity of many picornaviruses. Here we report a 3.2-Å-resolution X-ray structure of the enterovirus 71 virion complexed with the capsid-binding inhibitor WIN 51711. The inhibitor replaced the natural pocket factor within the viral protein 1 pocket without inducing any detectable rearrangements in the structure of the capsid. Furthermore, we show that the compound stabilizes enterovirus 71 virions and limits its infectivity, probably through restricting dynamics of the capsid necessary for genome release. Thus, our results provide a structural basis for development of antienterovirus 71 capsid-binding drugs.

Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a picornavirus associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease (1). Nevertheless, EV71 infections may progress to severe encephalitis that causes various types of neurological complications including polio-like paralysis. Furthermore, the infection may be fatal for infants and young children (2). EV71 outbreaks are reported throughout the world, but have been especially severe in the Asia-Pacific region.
Picornaviruses are small, icosahedral, nonenveloped animal viruses with positive sense RNA genomes. Picornavirus capsids have pseudo T = 3 symmetry with 60 copies of each of four viral proteins—VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4—that form an ∼300 Å diameter icosahedral shell. The surface of a picornavirus capsid is formed by subunits VP1, VP2, and VP3 that each has a β-sandwich jelly roll fold, whereas VP4 is a small protein attached to the inner surface of the capsid. There is a circular depression or “canyon” around each icosahedral fivefold axis of symmetry on the surface of many picornaviruses (3, 4). The EV71 canyon is shallower than that in polioviruses and rhinoviruses (5, 6).
Receptors with an Ig-like fold have been shown to bind into the canyon (7–13). When receptor molecules bind into the canyon, they dislodge a “pocket factor” from a pocket within VP1 immediately below the floor of the canyon. The shape of the pocket factor and the hydrophobic environment of the pocket suggest that the pocket factor is probably a lipid (14–17). Analysis of lipid molecules extracted from virions of bovine enterovirus had shown that the pocket factor is not a single type of molecule but rather a mixture of lipids with the most represented molecules being palmitic acid and myristic acid (15). When a receptor binds into the canyon, it depresses the floor of the canyon corresponding to the roof of the pocket. Similarly, when a lipid or antiviral compound binds into the pocket, it expands the roof of the pocket, corresponding to the floor of the canyon (14, 17). Thus, canyon-binding receptors and the pocket factor compete with each other for binding to the virion. Nevertheless, not all receptors of picornaviruses bind into the canyon. A minor group of human rhinoviruses (HRV) bind to low-density lipoprotein receptors (18, 19), whereas Coxsackie and echoviruses use decay-accelerating factor as a cellular receptor (20, 21). Scavenger receptor B2 (22), sialylated glycans (23), and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (24–26) were shown to function as possible receptors for EV71.
Capsids of numerous picornaviruses such as most HRVs, polioviruses, and EV71 contain a pocket factor that plays an essential role in regulating particle stability (14, 27). The release of the pocket factor, induced by receptor binding, leads to particle destabilization, externalization of VP4 and the N-termini of the VP1 subunits, and subsequently to genome release. Therefore, the presence of the pocket factor functions as a switch in initiating picornavirus infection. Some rhinoviruses such as HRV14 and HRV3 lack a pocket factor, when crystallized (3, 28). Although it has been suggested that the pocket factor might be an artifact of the purification procedure (29) it is improbable that the VP1 pocket is a purely accidental feature of picornavirus capsids, as compounds that bind into the pocket are capable of regulating the virus stability and infectivity (30). Small molecule inhibitors that bind into the hydrophobic pocket within subunit VP1 can inhibit viruses irrespective of whether they contain a pocket factor in the native state or not (14). In the case of viruses containing the pocket factor, the inhibitor competes with the putative lipid molecule for binding to the virus. For viruses that lack the pocket factor, the binding of the inhibitor induces a conformational change in the capsid protein VP1 resulting in an opening of the hydrophobic cavity between the two β-sheets of the jelly roll fold (31, 32).
Small molecules that bind into the hydrophobic pocket within VP1 were shown to be potent inhibitors of many picornaviruses including rhinoviruses (31), Coxsackie viruses A and B (17, 33), and polioviruses (12, 16). The inhibitors bind into the hydrophobic pocket within VP1 with high affinity and therefore cannot be dislodged upon receptor binding. Several putative capsid-binding inhibitors of EV71 were synthesized and shown to be effective (34, 35), but molecular details of their interactions with the capsid proteins were not known.
Although the disease caused by EV71 is a public health threat, no vaccines or antiviral compounds are currently available. Here we present the crystal structure of EV71 virions in complex with the capsid-binding inhibitor WIN 51711 at 3.2 Å resolution. Furthermore, we show that the compound can limit EV71 infection.
Results and Discussion
WIN 51711 Limits EV71 Infectivity and Stabilizes Virions.
WIN 51711 had previously been shown to be an inhibitor of rhinoviruses and polioviruses (31, 36). Using FACS assay, we have now shown that the EV71 infectivity is inhibited by 600 μM WIN 51711 (Fig. 1A). The decrease in infectivity of EV71 when treated with WIN 51711 results in an increase of the virion to plaque-forming unit ratio. Furthermore, the RNA genome in EV71 virions incubated with 300 μM WIN 51711 was less accessible to RNA binding fluorescent dyes Sybr green I and II than genome of native virions (Fig. 1B). The virions stabilized by WIN 51711 had to be heated 3 °C higher than native virions to obtain equal staining of the genome. It is therefore likely that the mechanism of inhibition is due to the stabilizing effect of WIN 51711 on the EV71 capsid, thereby preventing uncoating of the virion.

X-Ray Structures of Native EV71 Virion and Its Complex with WIN 51711.
The crystal structure of EV71 strain MY104-9-SAR-97 (GenBank DQ341368.1) was determined to 2.7 Å resolution. Structures of the EV71-WIN 51711 complex were determined independently from two datasets that included data to 3.2 Å and 3.4 Å resolution. The maps resulting from 20-fold noncrystallographic averaging showed clear features of amino acid side chains and of carbonyl oxygens. Models of the capsid proteins VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4 were built except for residues 1 and 298 of VP1, 1–9 of VP2, and 1–12 of VP4. Had it been calculated, crystallographic Rfree would have been similar to crystallographic Rwork, because of the high 20-fold noncrystallographic symmetry (37, 38). Therefore, all measured reflections were used in the structure refinement (Table 1). The structure of the icosahedral asymmetric unit of EV71 consists of 840-aa residues. Nine additional residues (135–143) of the VP2 “puff” loop exposed on the particle surface were visible in the electron density map in comparison with the previously determined EV71 I212121 structure [Protein Data Bank (PDB) ID code 4AED]. The rmsd between the positions of Cα atoms in the current and previously determined EV71 structures were between 0.2 and 0.5 Å.

According to the criterion of Molprobity.
Shih et al. have identified a single residue mutation, Val192-Met, that confers resistance to the presumed capsid binding inhibitor BPR0Z-194 (39). Val192 is located in the middle of the wild type VP1 pocket (Fig. 2B). It is therefore likely that the substitution for methionine, a residue with larger side chain, prevents binding of BPR0Z-194 to the capsid. This observation verifies the role of VP1 pocket for the infectivity of the virus.

Comparison of WIN 51711 with the Native Pocket Factor.
The major difference between the native EV71 and the EV71-WIN 51711 complex is that the native pocket factor density extends ∼2 Å further toward the opening of the pocket into the canyon than the WIN 51711 density (Fig. 2). To evaluate differences in the shape of the pocket factor and WIN 51711 density, real-space correlation coefficients (RSCC) were calculated to compare the electron density distributions within the VP1 pocket of the native and inhibitor complexes. The experimental electron density maps were calculated with phases obtained by phase extension starting from 10 Å resolution and are therefore free of model bias. The RSCCs comparing electron density distributions of pocket factor to WIN 51711 are less than 0.77, whereas RSCCs comparing different datasets of the same object are greater than 0.89 (Table 2). The RSCCs comparing experimental electron density maps with those derived from models were calculated to verify the nature of the moiety in the pocket (Table 3). For crystals soaked with WIN 51711, the density within the pocket correlates better with structure of WIN 51711 than with sphingosine that was used to model the pocket factor in the native structure of EV71 (6). Similarly, in the native crystals, the electron density within the pocket agrees better with the sphingosine model. Thus, WIN 51711 replaced the pocket factor in crystals cocrystallized with the inhibitor. Nevertheless, it is possible that WIN 51711 did not replace all pocket factor molecules and that the observed electron density represents an average between the pocket factor and WIN 51711.

Orientation of the WIN51711 compound in the VP1 pocket in which the end of the molecule that contains single aromatic ring points toward the opening of the pocket.
The molecule of WIN 51711 is elongated in shape with two aromatic rings at one end and one ring at the other (Fig. 2B). The RSCC comparison of simulated electron density maps of WIN 51711 molecules refined in the two alternative orientations within the VP1 pocket shows that both orientations fit well into the experimental density, with slight preference for the orientation of the inhibitor with the two rings pointing toward the opening of the pocket (Table 3, Fig. 2B). Comparable ambiguity in determining the orientation of WIN 51711 was encountered in its complex with HRV 14 (31, 40). Similar to the situation in EV71, the RSCC analysis of the two possible orientations of WIN 51711 within the pocket of HRV 14 indicates a slight preference for the two rings pointing toward the opening of the pocket (Table 3).
Structure of Residues Forming the VP1 Pocket.
The RMSD comparison of positions of residues that form the pocket in the native and the two WIN 51711–containing complexes (Table 4) shows that there are no major rearrangements induced by WIN 51711 binding within the pocket (Fig. 3). The inhibitor interacts mostly with hydrophobic side chains of residues forming the interior of the pocket. Similarly, changes in the structure of HRV16, where the inhibitors replaced the pocket factor, were quite minor (41). In contrast, binding of WIN 51711 to the collapsed pocket of HRV14 induced conformational changes within VP1 (31).

Design of EV71 Capsid-Binding Inhibitors.
Our results show the molecular details of the WIN 51711 interactions with EV71. Thus, WIN 51711 can be used as a scaffold for further development of more potent inhibitors. For example, extra groups added to the five-membered oxazoline ring might interact with polar residues that form the opening of the pocket into the canyon. Considering that EV71 receptors probably do not bind into the shallow EV71 canyon (22, 24), the EV71 pocket factor may function merely to stabilize the particle and not as a switch regulating genome release as in rhinoviruses, polioviruses, and Coxsackie viruses. Therefore, the critical property of future EV71 capsid-binding inhibitors is their ability to stabilize the virus.
Materials and Methods
EV71 Preparation, Crystallization, and Diffraction Data Collection.
EV71 was produced and purified as described previously (42). Crystals of EV71 were obtained using the hanging drop technique with conditions analogous to those described by Wang et al. (6). The crystallization drops were prepared by mixing 0.83 µL EV71 at ∼2 mg/mL in PBS with 0.17 µL 0.2 M sodium citrate, 0.1 M Tris pH 8.5, and 30% (vol/vol) PEG 400. The well solution contained 1.8 M sodium acetate and 0.1 M Bis-Tris propane, pH 7.0. Crystals formed within 1 wk. The crystals of EV71 WIN 51711 complex were prepared in the same way except that the virus solution included 2% (vol/vol) dimethyl sulfoxide and 0.1 mg/mL WIN 51711. For data collection, crystals were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. The crystallization solution was a sufficient cryoprotectant. Each dataset was collected from a single crystal at 100 K on the ADSC 315 detector at beamline 14 C BioCARS at the Advanced Photon Source synchrotron. An oscillation range of 0.2° was used during data collection. The diffraction images were processed and scaled using the HKL2000 package (43) (Table 1).
X-Ray Structure Determination.
Virions of EV71 crystallized in the body-centered cubic space group I23. The cell parameters differed from crystal to crystal by up to 5 Å (Table 1). The crystallographic asymmetric unit contained one-third of a virion. The orientation of the virion about the crystallographic threefold axes was determined with a one-dimensional locked-rotation function search using the program GLRF (44). Orientations of the particles in different crystals differed by up to 2°. The differences in particle orientation could be correlated with differences in the unit cell parameters among individual crystals. Position of the particle center was determined with a one-dimensional translation function search using the program Phaser (45). Initial phases up to 10 Å resolution were calculated from a properly oriented and positioned model of EV71 (PDB ID code 4AED) with the program CNS (46). The atoms corresponding to the pocket factor were removed from the model before the phase calculation. The phases were refined with 10 cycles of 20-fold real-space noncrystallographic symmetry averaging with the program AVE (47). The mask defining the volume of electron density to be averaged was derived from the EV71 atomic model by including all grid points within 5 Å of each atom. Grid points outside the capsid were set to the average value of the density outside the mask. Phase information for reflections immediately outside the current resolution limit was obtained by extending the resolution in steps of (1/a) Å−1 followed by three cycles of averaging. This procedure was repeated until the high-resolution limit of the available data was reached. For each of the data sets, the particle orientation and position were refined by searching for their best value as judged by the correlation coefficient between observed and calculated structure amplitudes.
The structure was built manually using the program O (48) starting from the native EV71 structure. Subsequently, the structure was subjected to coordinate and B-factor refinement using the program CNS. The refinement used noncrystallographic symmetry constraints. Other calculations used the CCP4 suite of programs (49).
Data Deposition.
The EV71 native and inhibitor complex coordinates together with the observed structure amplitudes and phases derived by the phase extension have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID codes 3ZFE, 3ZFF, and 3ZFG).
FACS Infectivity Assay.
The impact of WIN 51711 on the infectivity of EV71 was determined using a FACS assay. Approximately 1 × 106 pfu of EV71 were incubated with varying concentrations of WIN51711 at 37 °C for 30 min. The virus and compound mixture was then adsorbed onto rhabdomyosarcoma cells for 1 h at room temperature and overlaid with liquid media (MEM + 10% FCS) containing the same concentrations of compound. Following incubation at 37 °C for 30 h, the cells were trypsinized and equal numbers of cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde, permeabilized with PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100 and blocked with PBS + 10 mg/mL BSA (FACS buffer). The cells were then stained with an anti-EV71 monoclonal antibody (EV20/5/A5-3/C10/C1, provided by MAb Explorations) and an FITC-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody for 30 min at 4 °C with extensive washing with FACS buffer between antibody incubations. The cells were then analyzed using a Beckman Coulter FC500 flow cytometer.
Thermal Stability Assay.
Virions of EV71 (final concentration 0.125 mg/mL) were mixed with WIN 51711 (final concentration 0.01 mg/mL) in NaCl-Tris-EDTA buffer (20 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 120 mM NaCl, and 1 mM EDTA) and incubated for 1 h at 37 °C. Sybr green I and Sybr green II dyes (Life Technologies) were added at 3× concentration (according to the manufacturer’s information) together with ANTI-RNase (ambion) at 1 U/μL final concentration. The Sybr green dyes were previously shown not to penetrate into native poliovirus virions (50). The Sybr green fluorescence of the mixture was then analyzed in a real-time PCR machine (Applied Biosystems 7300). The mixture was heated to temperatures in the range of 37–90 °C in 1-°C steps. After heating to a given temperature for 2 min, the mixture was cooled to 36 °C for 2 min, during which the fluorescence could be measured. This was necessary because interaction of Sybr green dyes with RNA is temperature-dependent.
Calculation of RSCCs.
RSCCs comparing two experimental maps or comparing an experimental map with a map calculated from a refined model were calculated using the program MAPMAN from the USF package (47). The experimental maps were calculated using phases derived from phase extension as described previously. The model-derived maps were calculated with the CNS program (46). The RSCC calculation included all grid points within 1.5Å of any atom of a given residue (∼320 grid points were used for WIN 51711 and sphingosine molecules).
