HIV-1 Env mediates viral entry into host cells and is the sole target for neutralizing antibodies. However, Env structure and organization in its native virion context has eluded detailed characterization. Here we used cryo-electron tomography to analyze Env in mature and immature HIV-1 particles. Immature particles showed distinct Env positioning relative to the underlying Gag lattice, providing insights into long-standing questions about Env incorporation. A 9.1Å sub-tomogram averaged reconstruction of virion-bound Env in conjunction with structural mass spectrometry revealed unexpected features, including a variable central core of the gp41 subunit, heterogeneous glycosylation between protomers plus a flexible stalk that allows Env tilting and variable exposure of neutralizing epitopes. Together, our results provide an integrative understanding of HIV assembly and structural variation in Env antigen presentation.

The influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) fusion protein has long been viewed as a "spring-loaded" fusion machine whereby activation at low pH initiates a rapid and irreversible cascade of conformational changes that drives the membrane fusion reaction. This mechanism has shaped our understanding of how type 1 viral fusion proteins function as a whole. Experimental limitations have hindered efforts to expand our mechanistic and structural understanding of viral membrane fusion. Here, we used pulse-labeling hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and cryo-electron tomography to monitor and characterize the structural dynamics of HA during fusion activation on intact virions. Our data reveal how concurrent reorganizations at the HA1 receptor binding domain interface and HA2 fusion subunit produce a dynamic fusion intermediate ensemble in full-length HA. The soluble HA ectodomain transitions directly to the postfusion state with no observable intermediate.

The influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) fusion glycoprotein mediates entry into target cells and is the primary antigenic target of neutralizing antibod- ies (nAbs). Our current structural understanding of mechanisms of antibody (Ab)- mediated neutralization largely relies on the high-resolution characterization of anti- gen binding (Fab) fragments in complex with soluble, isolated antigen constructs by cryo-electron microscopy (EM) single-particle reconstruction or X-ray crystallography. Interactions between full-length IgG and whole virions have not been well character- ized, and a gap remains in our understanding of how intact Abs neutralize virus and prevent infection. Using structural and biophysical approaches, we observed that Ab-mediated inhibition of HA function and neutralization of virus infectivity occur by multiple coexisting mechanisms, are largely dependent on the specific epitope that is targeted, and are highly dependent on the bivalent nature of IgG molecules.

Stimulating broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) directly from germline remains a barrier for HIV vaccines. HIV-1 superinfection elicits broad nAbs more frequently than single infection, providing clues of how to elicit such responses. We used longitudinal antibody sequencing and structural studies to characterize bnAb development from a superinfection case. Mature bnAb QA013.2 bound both initial transmitted and superinfecting virus, but its inferred naïve bound only the superinfecting strain and was not neutralizing. QA013.2 requires residues spanning FWRH1-CDRH1 to attain breadth, which is uncommon for V3-specific bnAbs. A 4.15 Å cryo-EM structure of QA013.2 bound to heterologous native-like trimer showed recognition of V3 signatures (N301, N332, and GDIR). Antigenic profiling revealed that viral escape was achieved not only by changes in the structurally-defined epitope, but also by mutations in V1. These results highlight shared and distinct properties of QA013.2 relative to other V3-specific bnAbs in the setting of sequential, diverse antigenic variants.

Enveloped viruses employ specialized surface proteins to mediate fusion of cellular and viral membranes that results in the formation of pores through which the viral genetic material is delivered to the cell. For influenza virus, the trimeric hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein spike mediates host cell attachment and membrane fusion. While structures of a subset of conformations and parts of the fusion machinery have been characterized, the nature and sequence of membrane deformations during fusion have largely eluded characterization. Building upon studies that focused on early stages of HA-mediated membrane remodeling, here cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) was used to image the three-dimensional organization of intact influenza virions at different stages of fusion with liposomes, leading all the way to completion of the fusion reaction. By monitoring the evolution of fusion intermediate populations over the course of acid-induced fusion, we identified the progression of membrane reorganization that leads to efficient fusion by an enveloped virus.
