摘要
Background: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is the causative agent for chickenpox and herpes zoster (HZ, shingles). HZ is a debilitating disease affecting elderly and immunocompromised populations. Glycoprotein E (gE) is indispensable for viral replication and cell-to-cell spread and is the primary target for anti-VZV antibodies. Importantly, gE is the sole antigen in Shingrix, a highly efficacious, AS01B-adjuvanted vaccine approved in multiple countries for the prevention of HZ, yet the three-dimensional (3D) structure of gE remains elusive. Objectives: We sought to determine the structure of VZV gE and to understand in detail its interactions with neutralizing antibodies. Methods: We used X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy to elucidate structures of gE bound by recombinant Fabs of antibodies previously elicited through vaccination with Zostavax, a live, attenuated vaccine. Results: The 3D structures resolve distinct central and C-terminal antigenic domains, presenting an array of diverse conformational epitopes. The central domain has two beta-sheets and two alpha helices, including an IgG-like fold. The C-terminal domain exhibits 3 beta-sheets and an Ig-like fold and high structural similarity to HSV1 gE. Conclusions: gE from VZV-infected cells elicits a human antibody response with a preference for the gI binding domain of gE. These results yield insights to VZV gE structure and immunogenicity, provide a framework for future studies, and may guide the design of additional herpesvirus vaccine antigens. Teaser: Structures of varicella zoster virus glycoprotein E reveal distinct antigenic domains and define epitopes for vaccine-elicited human antibodies.
