چکیده انگلیسی
The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) complement control protein (KCP) inhibits the human complement system, and is similar in structure and function to endogenous complement inhibitors. Other inhibitors such as C4b-binding protein and factor H, as well as the viral homologue vaccinia virus complement control protein are known to bind heparin and, for the two latter, also to glycosaminoglycans at the surface of cells. We report here that KCP also binds to heparin at physiological ionic strength. With help of site directed mutagenesis, positively charged amino acids in the two N-terminal complement control protein (CCP) domains 1-2 were found to be necessary for heparin binding. In silico molecular docking of heparin to KCP confirmed the experimental data, and further explored the heparin binding site, enabling us to present a model of the KCP-heparin interaction. Furthermore, the docking analysis also yielded insights of the KCP structure, by indicating that the angle between CCP domains 1-2 during the initial binding of heparin is more extended than in the model we have previously presented. We also found that KCP binds to heparan sulfate and weakly to glycosaminoglycans at the surface of cells. This might indicate that KCP at the surface of viral particles aids in the primary attachment to the target cells, which is known to involve binding to heparan sulfate. Therefore, the present study contributes to the knowledge of heparin-protein interactions in general as well as to the understanding of the biology of KSHV.
