Crystals of hemagglutinin-neuraminidase of parainfluenza virus contain triple-stranded helices.
When purified dimers of hemagglutinin-neuraminidase molecules released by protease digestion from three strains of human parainfluenza virus 1 were used in crystallization trials, long thin needle crystals formed. Electron microscopic analysis of these needle crystals revealed that they are composed of stacks of triple-stranded helices with each strand of the helix made up of subunits of hemagg...
متن کاملHemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene sequence-based reclassification of human parainfluenza virus 3 variants.
The most comprehensive phylogenetic classification of human parainfluenza virus 3 (HPIV-3) was recently developed [PLoS One 2012;7:e43893]. This classification included three distinct clusters (A, B and C) with subdivision of cluster C into four subclusters (C1-4). In the present report, the classification of HPIV-3 was refined by inclusion of 27 overlooked beside newly characterized Saudi vari...
متن کاملStructure of the Parainfluenza Virus 5 (PIV5) Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase (HN) Ectodomain
Paramyxoviruses cause a wide variety of human and animal diseases. They infect host cells using the coordinated action of two surface glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (HN, H, or G) and the fusion protein (F). HN binds sialic acid on host cells (hemagglutinin activity) and hydrolyzes these receptors during viral egress (neuraminidase activity, NA). Additionally, receptor binding is th...
متن کاملCrystallization of biologically active hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein dimers proteolytically cleaved from human parainfluenza virus type 1.
We isolated, purified, and characterized the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) of human parainfluenza virus type 1, with the ultimate goal of producing crystals suitable for three-dimensional X-ray structure analysis. Pronase was used to cleave the globular head of the HN molecule directly from virus particles, forming HN monomers and dimers. The purified dimers retained neuraminidase and hemads...
متن کاملInteraction between the Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase and Fusion Glycoproteins of Human Parainfluenza Virus Type III Regulates Viral Growth In Vivo
UNLABELLED Paramyxoviruses, enveloped RNA viruses that include human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3), cause the majority of childhood viral pneumonia. HPIV3 infection starts when the viral receptor-binding protein engages sialic acid receptors in the lung and the viral envelope fuses with the target cell membrane. Fusion/entry requires interaction between two viral surface glycoproteins: tet...
