Influenza virus hemagglutinin cleavage into HA1, HA2: no laughing matter.
What do an odd lab-derived strain of influenza, fowl plague virus, and the 1997 Hong Kong chicken flu have in common? The answer lies in how, and more specifically by what protease, the hemagglutinin protein of these various influenza strains is cleaved for viral activation. What does this have to do with the most devastating influenza virus of them all, the 1918 ‘‘Spanish’’ influenza? The conn...
متن کاملLipid interactions of the hemagglutinin HA2 NH2-terminal segment during influenza virus-induced membrane fusion.
Fusion of influenza viruses with target membranes is induced by acid and involves complex changes in the viral fusion protein hemagglutinin (HA) and in the contact sites between viruses and target membranes (Stegmann, T., White, J. M., and Helenius, A. (1990) EMBO J. 9, 4231-4241). At 0 degrees C, in a first, kinetically distinct step, target membranes irreversibly adhere to the viruses. Fusion...
متن کاملMouse H-2k-restricted cytotoxic T cells recognize antigenic determinants in both the HA1 and HA2 subunits of the influenza A/PR/8/34 hemagglutinin
We have constructed two chimeric influenza hemagglutinin (HA) genes in which the HA1 and HA2 subunits of the HA molecule have been interchanged between influenza A/PR/8/34 (H1 subtype) and A/NT/60/68 (H3 subtype). These genes were used to construct recombinant vaccinia viruses that expressed intact chimeric HA. These recombinant viruses were used to test whether murine CTL recognize antigenic d...
متن کاملInteractions of misfolded influenza virus hemagglutinin with binding protein (BiP)
We have characterized the association between the binding protein, BiP (also known as GRP 78), and misfolded forms of the influenza virus hemagglutinin precursor, HA0. BiP is a heat-shock-related protein that binds to unassembled immunoglobulin heavy chain and to a variety of misfolded proteins in the lumen of the ER. A small fraction (5-10%) of newly synthesized HA0 in CV-1 cells was found to ...
متن کاملExpression of the hemagglutinin HA1 subunit of the equine influenza virus using a baculovirus expression system.
Equine influenza virus is a leading cause of respiratory disease in horses worldwide. Disease prevention is by vaccination with inactivated whole virus vaccines. Most current influenza vaccines are generated in embryonated hens' eggs. Virions are harvested from allantoic fluid and chemically inactivated. Although this system has served well over the years, the use of eggs as the substrate for v...
