Background

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection and hospitalization in infants1. RSV F protein is a type I integral membrane protein essential for viral membrane fusion that is highly conserved among isolates of RSV A and B subgroups and is the primary target for RSV antiviral drug development2. RSV F protein is synthesized as a 574 amino acid inactive precursor, assembled into a trimer, post-translationally modified, and then cleaved during activation for membrane fusion to produce F1, F2, and intervening peptide pep272. When functional F protein trimer in the virion membrane is triggered, F protein merges virus and host-cell membranes using the difference in folding energy between its pre-fusion (pre-F) and post-fusion (post-F) forms3. During infection, RSV-neutralizing antibodies target epitopes that reside primarily on the pre-F conformation3, 4, particularly antigenic site Ø on the apex of pre-F, which is highly sensitive to neutralization and exclusive to the pre-F conformation5. However, some neutralizing sites are common between pre- and post-F, including Site II, which binds the antibodies Motavizumab, Palivizumab, and 47F, as well as Site IV which binds 101F6. Additionally, the RSV F post-fusion trimer elicits high titers of neutralizing antibody when administered to mice and cotton rats7. Both pre- and post-F protein conformations are targets of RSV vaccine development8.
