WEEV binds protocadherin 10 (PCDH10) as a receptor, and highly virulent ancestral WEEV strains also bind low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-related proteins. As WEEV declined as a human pathogen in North America over the past century, isolates have lost the ability to bind mammalian receptors while still recognizing avian receptors. To explain shifts in receptor dependencies and assess the risk of WEEV re-emergence, we determined cryoelectron microscopy structures of WEEV bound to human PCDH10, avian PCDH10, and human very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR). We show that one to three E2 glycoprotein substitutions are sufficient for a nonpathogenic strain to regain the ability to bind mammalian receptors. A soluble VLDLR fragment protects mice from lethal challenge by a virulent ancestral WEEV strain. Because WEEV recently re-emerged in South America after decades of inactivity, our findings have important implications for outbreak preparedness. | |||||||||
