Context-specific target definition in influenza a virus hemagglutinin-glycan receptor interactions.
Protein-glycan interactions are important regulators of a variety of biological processes, ranging from immune recognition to anticoagulation. An important area of active research is directed toward understanding the role of host cell surface glycans as recognition sites for pathogen protein receptors. Recognition of cell surface glycans is a widely employed strategy for a variety of pathogens,...
متن کاملGlycan Receptor Binding of the Influenza A Virus H7N9 Hemagglutinin
The advent of H7N9 in early 2013 is of concern for a number of reasons, including its capability to infect humans, the lack of clarity in the etiology of infection, and because the human population does not have pre-existing immunity to the H7 subtype. Earlier sequence analyses of H7N9 hemagglutinin (HA) point to amino acid changes that predicted human receptor binding and impinge on the antige...
متن کاملGlycan Receptor for Influenza Virus
Influenza viruses are found in wide range of animals, including humans, in nature. When avian and human viruses simultaneously infect an intermediate host, such as pigs, genetic recombination can occur between these viruses. There is concern regarding interspecies transmission, both initial animal-to-animal infection and outbreaks of pandemic viruses in the human population. Hemagglutinin (HA) ...
متن کاملQuantitative Characterization of Glycan-Receptor Binding of H9N2 Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin
Avian influenza subtypes such as H5, H7 and H9 are yet to adapt to the human host so as to establish airborne transmission between humans. However, lab-generated reassorted viruses possessing hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes from an avian H9 isolate and other genes from a human-adapted (H3 or H1) subtype acquired two amino acid changes in HA and a single amino acid change in NA t...
متن کاملQuantitative Description of Glycan-Receptor Binding of Influenza A Virus H7 Hemagglutinin
In the context of recently emerged novel influenza strains through reassortment, avian influenza subtypes such as H5N1, H7N7, H7N2, H7N3 and H9N2 pose a constant threat in terms of their adaptation to the human host. Among these subtypes, it was recently demonstrated that mutations in H5 and H9 hemagglutinin (HA) in the context of lab-generated reassorted viruses conferred aerosol transmissibil...
