Sequence comparison and modeling analysis have revealed a putative receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the viral spike, which mediates this interaction. We report the 3.0 Å-resolution crystal structure of MERS-CoV RBD bound to the extracellular domain of human DPP4. Our results show that MERS-CoV RBD consists of a core and a receptor-binding subdomain. The receptor-binding subdomain interacts with DPP4 β-propeller but not its intrinsic hydrolase domain. MERS-CoV RBD and related SARS-CoV RBD share a high degree of structural similarity in their core subdomains, but are notably divergent in the receptor-binding subdomain. Mutagenesis studies have identified several key residues in the receptor-binding subdomain that are critical for viral binding to DPP4 and entry into the target cell. The atomic details at the interface between MERS-CoV RBD and DPP4 provide structural understanding of the virus and receptor interaction, which can guide development of therapeutics and vaccines against MERS-CoV infection.</p><sec><title>Supplementary information</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1038/cr.2013.92) contains supplementary material, which is available to

Sequence comparison and modeling analysis have revealed a putative receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the viral spike, which mediates this interaction. We report the 3.0 Å-resolution crystal structure of MERS-CoV RBD bound to the extracellular domain of human DPP4. Our results show that MERS-CoV RBD consists of a core and a receptor-binding subdomain. The receptor-binding subdomain interacts with DPP4 β-propeller but not its intrinsic hydrolase domain. MERS-CoV RBD and related SARS-CoV RBD share a high degree of structural similarity in their core subdomains, but are notably divergent in the receptor-binding subdomain. Mutagenesis studies have identified several key residues in the receptor-binding subdomain that are critical for viral binding to DPP4 and entry into the target cell.

The disulfide bond between C503 and C526 connects this loop with strand β5 (<xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">Figure 2E</xref>), thereby providing structural support for the β sheet to contact DPP4.

At the interface, a total of 14 residues of MERS-CoV contact with 15 residues of the DPP4 with a distance cutoff of 3.6 Å (<xref rid="MOESM29" ref-type="media">Supplementary information, Table S2</xref>). The interface consists of two major binding patches. In patch 1 (∼1 250 Å<sup>2</sup> buried surface), the C-terminal end of the long loop connecting the β6 and β7 strands contacts the blade 4 of DPP4 (<xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3A</xref>). MERS-CoV acidic residues E536, D537 and D539 at the C-terminal end of the loop form a negatively charged surface, and D539 has salt-bridge interaction with DPP4 basic residue K267 (<xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3B</xref>). MERS-CoV residue Y499 forms hydrogen bond with the DPP4 residue R336 in this patch (<xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3B</xref>). In patch 2 (∼1 300 Å<sup>2</sup> buried surface), there is a slightly concaved outer surface at the far end of the MERS-CoV receptor-binding subdomain, formed by the short β6 strand, C-terminal parts of β5 and β7 strands, N-terminal part of β8 strand and the β5-β6 linking loop (<xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3A</xref>). This concaved outer surface accommodates a linker containing a short α helix between blade 4 and blade 5 of DPP4 (<xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3A</xref>).

As shown in <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">Figure 4</xref>, mutations at several residues, either singly or in combination, resulted in a significant reduction in binding to DPP4 and lowered the efficiency of viral entry. In patch 1, for instance, a single-residue substitution of Y499A, expected to eliminate hydrogen bonding between Y499 and R336, significantly interrupted the binding between MERS-CoV RBD and DPP4, as well as hindered viral entry (<xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">Figure 4</xref>). Similarly, combined substitutions involving E536R, D537K and D539K, hypothesized to disrupt the native interaction with K267, resulted in profound reduction in the binding and viral entry levels (<xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">Figure 4</xref>). Furthermore, in patch 2, a single-residue substitution of either L506A or W553A, expected to alter the hydrophobic core (<xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure 3C</xref>), significantly reduced both binding and viral entry efficiency (<xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">Figure 4</xref>).

Finally, a single-residue substitution of D510A that disrupts its salt-bridge interaction with DPP4 R317, or a change of E513A that disrupts its hydrogen-bonding interaction with DPP4 Q344, also hindered, to variable degrees, both binding and viral entry; while the impact of other mutations such as R511A was not significant (<xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">Figure 4</xref>).<fig id="Fig4"><label>Figure 4</label><caption><p>Effect of residue substitution on MERS-CoV RBD binding to DPP4 <bold>(A)</bold> and entry efficiency of pseudotyped viruses <bold>(B)</bold>. <bold>(A)</bold> SDS-PAGE analysis of co-purified complexes of wild-type or mutant forms of His-tagged RBD and untagged DPP4.

In general, MERS-CoV RBD consists of two major subdomains, the core and receptor-binding subdomain. While the former shares a high degree of structural similarity to SARS-CoV RBD, the latter is notably divergent from known structures (<xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">Figure 2</xref>). This structural distinction helps to explain receptor specificities of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup>. The high degree of structural similarity in the core subdomain, however, also suggests that there is a selection pressure for structural conservation or convergence in this region, despite profound sequence diversity.</p><p id="Par9">In terms of receptor binding, MERS-CoV RBD specifically binds to blades 4 and 5 (<xref rid="MOESM29" ref-type="media">Supplementary information, Figure S2</xref>) but not other blades in the β-propeller domain of DPP4, which could be explained by charge and shape complementarities at the binding interface (<xref rid="MOESM29" ref-type="media">Supplementary information, Figure S4</xref>). Specifically, the β-propeller domain of DPP4 has three positively charged residues at the outer surface of blades 4 and 5 (K267, R336 and R317), which interact with the negatively charged residues on the surface of RBD (D510, E536, D537 and D539) (<xref rid="MOESM29" ref-type="media">Supplementary information, Figure S4</xref>). Surrounded by these charge-charge interactions, the short α helix between blades 4 and 5 of DPP4 docks into the hydrophobic concaved surface of RBD (<xref rid="MOESM29" ref-type="media">Supplementary information, Figure S4</xref>). These structural features suitable for RBD binding are only observed in the outer surface of blades 4 and 5 of DPP4. Furthermore, it is also clear that the enzymatic site of DPP4 is distant from MERS-CoV RBD-binding site (<xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>), similar to the structure of ACE2 binding with SARS-CoV RBD<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref></sup>. This provides a structural explanation for previous findings showing that DPP4 enzymatic inhibitors do not block the viral entry of MERS-CoV<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref></sup>. However, the overall structural features of DPP4 are clearly distinct from those of ACE2. Such structural differences, in addition to their potential differences in expression levels and tissue distribution, is expected to play a critical role in determining cell tropism as well as pathogenesis of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV <italic>in vivo</italic>. Of note, small degree of sequence variation has been identified in the contact residues among DPP4 from different mammals, which may help to determine the cell susceptibility as well as the host range of MERS-CoV (<xref rid="MOESM29" ref-type="media">Supplementary information, Figure S5</xref>). Nevertheless, our report of structural features of MERS-CoV RBD in complex with the DPP4 has provided atomic understanding of virus and receptor interaction, and will guide development of therapeutics and vaccines against MERS-CoV infection.</p></sec><sec id="Sec8"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec id="Sec9"><title>Expression and purification of human DPP4</title><p id="Par10">Human DPP4 extracellular domain (residues 39-766) with an N-terminal Hemolin signal peptide for secretion and a C-terminal 6× His tag for purification was inserted into pFastBac-Dual vector (Invitrogen).

DPP4 was then purified by gel filtration chromatography using the Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare) pre-equilibrated with Tris buffer (25 mM Tris, pH 8.8, 30 mM NaCl). Fractions containing DPP4 were collected and applied directly to a pre-equilibrated RESOURCE Q column (GE Healthcare) and then eluted with a 30-1000 mM NaCl gradient in 25 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.8). Fractions containing DPP4 were finally purified with gel filtration chromatography using Superdex 200 column.</p></sec><sec id="Sec10"><title>Identification and preparation of MERS-CoV RBD</title><p id="Par11">A series of constructs encoding different fragments of MERS-CoV S1 protein were designed based on secondary structure prediction. Each fragment was cloned into the vector pFastBac-Dual (Invitrogen) with an N-terminal gp67 signal peptide and C-terminal His tag. All constructs were transformed into bacterial DH10Bac component cells to obtain recombinant bacmid and then transfected into Sf9 insect cells. Viruses were harvested after 7 days, amplified and tested for protein expression. One of the fragments (MERS-CoV RBD, residues 367-606) showed the highest level of protein expression and was able to be co-purified with untagged DPP4 using Ni-charged resin. This fragment was further produced in large quantity and purified using Ni-charged resin and HiLoad Superdex 75 Column (GE healthcare).</p></sec><sec id="Sec11"><title>Crystallization and data collection</title><p id="Par12">Purified RBD and DPP4 were mixed for 1 h and then loaded to Superdex 200 column. The complex was collected and concentrated to ∼10 mg/ml in HBS buffer (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl) for crystallization. Crystals were successfully grown at room temperature using the sitting drop vapor diffusion method by mixing equal volumes of protein and reservoir solution containing 25% (w/v) polyethylene glycol 1500. Crystals were frozen in liquid nitrogen with cryoprotectant (well solution plus 20% (v/v) glycol) before data collection. Diffraction data were collected at the BL17U beam line of the Shanghai Synchrotron Research Facility (SSRF). Diffraction data were indexed, integrated and scaled with the program HKL2000<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref></sup>.</p></sec><sec id="Sec12"><title>Structural determination and refinement</title><p id="Par13">The structure was determined by the molecular replacement method with PHASER<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref></sup> in CCP4 suite<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref></sup>.

Baculoviruses expressing these mutants with C-terminal His tag were prepared in the same way as wild-type MERS-CoV RBD. Sf9 cells were coinfected by baculovirus expressing untagged DPP4 and a MERS-CoV RBD mutant baculovirus. The supernatant of 2 ml cell culture in six-well plates was harvested 72 h after infection and buffer-exchanged to HBS (10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl). Protein was captured by adding 40 μl Ni-charged resin (GE Healthcare) and incubated at 4 °C for 3 h. After an extensive wash with Tris buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 8.8, 300 mM NaCl) containing 20 mM imidazole, the bound protein was eluted with 40 μl Tris buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 8.8, 300 mM NaCl) containing 500 mM imidazole. Twenty microlitres of eluted sample was mixed with 5 μl of 5× SDS-PAGE loading buffer and boiled at 100 °C for 5 min, and then loaded on 12% SDS-PAGE gel.
