Abstract In addition to the transmembrane protein, GP(1,2), the Ebola virus glycoprotein gene encodes the soluble glycoproteins sGP and Delta-peptide. Two more soluble proteins, GP(1) and GP(1,2DeltaTM), are generated from GP(1,2) as a result of disulfide-bond instability and proteolytic cleavage, respectively, and are shed from the surface of infected cells. The sGP glycoprotein is secreted as a disulfide-linked homodimer, but there have been conflicting reports on whether it is arranged in a parallel or antiparallel orientation. Off-line HPLC-MALDI-TOF MS (MS/MS) was used to identify the arrangement of all disulfide bonds and simultaneously determine site-specific information regarding N-glycosylation. Our data prove that sGP is a parallel homodimer that contains C53-C53' and C306-C306' disulfide bonds, and although there are six predicted N-linked carbohydrate sites, only five are consistently glycosylated. The disulfide bond arrangement was confirmed by using cysteine to glycine mutations at amino acid positions 53 and 306. The mutants had a reduced ability to rescue the barrier function of TNF-alpha-treated endothelial cells--a function previously reported for sGP. This indicates that these disulfide bonds are critical for the proposed anti-inflammatory function of sGP.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
