Bilayer-bound structure of SARS-CoV-2 Envelope protein in complex with a host PDZ domain
Small multifunctional viral membrane proteins called viroporins are attractive drug targets but are difficult to structurally characterize in a lipid-bilayer environment. We have successfully reconstituted the full-length Envelope (E) protein from SARS-CoV-2 in a lipid-bilayer, co-assembled with a native host factor that binds to E, the PDZ domain 2 of ZO1. We have leveraged the enhancement…
