X-ray crystallographic determination of the structure of the influenza C virus haemagglutinin-esterase-fusion glycoprotein.
The structure of the haemagglutinin-esterase-fusion (HEF) glycoprotein from influenza C virus has been determined to 3.2 A resolution by X-ray crystallography. A synthetic mercury-containing esterase inhibitor and receptor analogue, 9-acetamidosialic acid alpha-thiomethylmercuryglycoside, was designed as the single isomorphous heavy-atom derivative. The asymmetric unit of one crystal form (form...
متن کاملThe Hemagglutinin-Esterase Fusion Glycoprotein Is a Primary Determinant of the Exceptional Thermal and Acid Stability of Influenza D Virus
Influenza D virus (IDV) is unique among four types of influenza viruses in that it utilizes cattle as a primary reservoir. The thermal and acid stability of IDV were examined and directly compared with those of influenza A virus (IAV), influenza B virus (IBV), and influenza C virus (ICV). The results of our experiments demonstrated that only IDV had a high residual infectivity (~2.5 log units o...
متن کاملA Sensitive Neutralization Assay for Influenza C Viruses Based on the Acetylesterase Activity HEF Glycoprotein
Influenza C virus possesses specific neuraminate-O-acetylesterase as a receptor-destroying function. This enzymatic activity of the viral glycoprotein HEF (Hemagglutinin, esterase activity and fusion factor) can be visualized in situ by the use of distinct color substrates. Hereby the localization, as well as the quantity of synthesized HEF protein is detectable. We further developed the estera...

متن کاملStudies of the membrane fusion activities of fusion peptide mutants of influenza virus hemagglutinin.
Influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) fuses membranes at endosomal pH by a process which involves extrusion of the NH2-terminal region of HA2, the fusion peptide, from its buried location in the native trimer. We have examined the amino acid sequence requirements for a functional fusion peptide by determining the fusion capacities of site-specific mutant HAs expressed by using vaccinia virus recom...
