VSV G mediates viral entry via endocytosis. In the endosome, G undergoes a pH-dependent conformational change from pre- to post-fusion state, catalyzing membrane fusion. So far, no complete structure of G has been reported. We report cryo-EM structures of G, isolated from virions using detergent, alone and in complex with neutralizing antibody FAb that binds G in all conformations. The post-fusion structure reveals novel details about the organization of the C-terminal part of the ectodomain, showing that it undergoes conformational rearrangement and stabilizes the post-fusion trimer by nesting into a groove between adjacent fusion domains. The fusion loops are visible inside the micelle, which is not the case of the transmembrane domains, suggesting that they are rather mobile. Structures of G-FAb complex show that the epitope belongs to a conserved antigenic site. This work has potential implications for vaccine development and oncolytic virotherapy.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
