Influenza A virus hemagglutinin and neuraminidase act as novel motile machinery
Influenza A virus (IAV) membrane proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) are determinants of virus infectivity, transmissibility, pathogenicity, host specificity, and major antigenicity. HA binds to a virus receptor, a sialoglycoprotein or sialoglycolipid, on the host cell and mediates virus attachment to the cell surface. The hydrolytic enzyme NA cleaves sialic acid from viral recep...
متن کاملInfluenza virus hemagglutinin and neuraminidase cytoplasmic tails control particle shape.
The cytoplasmic tails of the influenza virus glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) are highly conserved in sequence for all virus subtypes and it is believed that assembly of this enveloped virus depends on interactions of these domains with cytoplasmic viral components. However, it is possible to rescue altered influenza viruses lacking either the HA or NA cytoplasmic tails. ...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis as a Host for Recombinant Hemagglutinin Production of the Influenza A (H5N1) Virus
Abstract Background and Aims: Influenza A(H5N1) viruses circulating in animals might evolve and acquire the ability to spread from human to human and thus start a pandemic. Hemagglutinin (HA) has been shown to play a major role in binding of influenza virus to its target cell and the main neutralizing antibody responses elicit against this region. Recent studies have shown that...
متن کاملNeuraminidase inhibitors as anti-influenza virus agents.
Influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) catalyses the cleavage of sialic acid residues terminally linked to glycoproteins and glycolipids and plays an important role in the replication of the virus. Recently, several potent NA inhibitors have been synthesized based on the rational design of mimicking the transition state of the sialic acid cleavage. Zanamivir and oseltamivir (GS 4104, the prodrug of...
متن کاملBalanced hemagglutinin and neuraminidase activities are critical for efficient replication of influenza A virus.
The SD0 mutant of influenza virus A/WSN/33 (WSN), characterized by a 24-amino-acid deletion in the neuraminidase (NA) stalk, does not grow in embryonated chicken eggs because of defective NA function. Continuous passage of SD0 in eggs yielded 10 independent clones that replicated efficiently. Characterization of these egg-adapted viruses showed that five of the viruses contained insertions in t...
