ABSTRACT The hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E2 receptor-binding domain is encompassed by amino acids 384 to 661 (E2661) and contains two hypervariable sequences, HVR1 and HVR2. E2 sequence comparisons revealed a third variable region, located between residues 570 and 580, that varies widely between genotypes, designated here as igVR, the intergenotypic variable region. A secreted E2661 glycoprotein with simultaneous deletions of the three variable sequences retained its ability to bind CD81 and conformation-dependent monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and displayed enhanced binding to a neutralizing MAb directed to E2 immunogenic domain B. Our data provide insights into the E2 structure by suggesting that the three variable regions reside outside a conserved E2 core.
