Article Abstract
Echovirus 3 (E3), a serotype of human enterovirus B (HEV-B), causes severe diseases in infants. Here, we determined the structures of E3 with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) 6D10 by cryo-EM to comprehensively understand the specificities and the immunological characteristic of this serotype. The solved cryo-EM structures of the F-, A-, and E-particles of E3 bound with 6D10 revealed the structural features of the virus-antibody interface. Importantly, the structures of E-particles bound with 6D10 revealed for the first time the nature of the C-terminus of VP1 for HEV-Bs at the structural level. The highly immunogenic nature of this region in the E-particles provides new strategies for vaccine development for HEV-Bs.

Unlabelled: Human noroviruses ( s) are the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis with ≥80% of infections caused by the GII genogroup. HuNoVs are non-enveloped, with an icosahedral capsid composed of 90 dimers of the major capsid protein VP1, which encloses a minor structural protein, VP2, and a VPg-linked positive sense ssRNA genome. Although the atomic structure of the icosahedral capsid formed by VP1 is well characterized using crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy analyses of HuNoV virus-like particles (VLPs), the structures and the localization of VP2 and VPg inside the capsid, how they are incorporated into the capsid, and whether this process requires interactions between them remain unresolved.

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) remains a significant global health concern, with noroviruses among the most prevalent viral pathogens. However, other enteric viruses also contribute substantially to the public health burden. This study provides the first molecular characterization of a co-infection involving a rarely reported enterovirus A76 (EV-A76) and a norovirus GI.

Unlabelled: The foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype O contains at least five neutralizing antigenic sites, yet the structural relationship and antibody abundance remain poorly characterized. This study identifies six distinct neutralizing antigenic sites by evaluating 27 host-derived neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). These sites include the VP1 G-H loop, VP1 C-terminus, site 2, site 4, site 6, and site 7.

Recently, virus-like particles have been regarded as a promising platform for displaying foreign peptides or proteins on their surface. In this study, a dual-protein-displaying platform based on the norovirus-like particle (NoV-LP) was developed using SpyTag (SpT)/SpyCatcher (SpC) protein bioconjugation. A short 14-amino-acid SpT peptide was added to the C-terminus of VP1, with a rigid "EAAAK" spacer in between.
