Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular
carcinoma. A challenge for HCV vaccine development is to identify conserved
epitopes able to elicit protective antibodies against this highly diverse virus.
Glycan shielding is a mechanism by which HCV masks such epitopes on its E2
envelope glycoprotein. Antibodies to the E2 region comprising residues 412-423
(E2(412-423)) have broadly neutralizing activities. However, an adaptive mutation
in this linear epitope, N417S, is associated with a glycosylation shift from
Asn-417 to Asn-415 that enables HCV to escape neutralization by mAbs such as HCV1
and AP33. By contrast, the human mAb HC33.1 can neutralize virus bearing the
N417S mutation. To understand how HC33.1 penetrates the glycan shield created by
the glycosylation shift to Asn-415, we determined the structure of this broadly
neutralizing mAb in complex with its E2(412-423) epitope to 2.0 Å resolution. The
conformation of E2(412-423) bound to HC33.1 is distinct from the ?-hairpin
conformation of this peptide bound to HCV1 or AP33, because of disruption of the
?-hairpin through interactions with the unusually long
complementarity-determining region 3 of the HC33.1 heavy chain. Whereas Asn-415
is buried by HCV1 and AP33, it is solvent-exposed in the HC33.1-E2(412-423)
complex, such that glycosylation of Asn-415 would not prevent antibody binding.
Furthermore, our results highlight the structural flexibility of the E2(412-423)
epitope, which may serve as an immune evasion strategy to impede induction of
antibodies targeting this site by reducing its antigenicity.
