Glycosylation at Asn91 of H1N1 haemagglutinin affects binding to glycan receptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The glycoprotein HA (haemagglutinin) on the surface of influenza A virus plays a central role in recognition and binding to specific host cell-surface glycan receptors and in fusion of viral membrane to the host nuclear membrane during viral replication. Given the abundance of HA on the viral surface, this protein is also the primary target for host innate and adaptive immune responses. Although addition of glycosylation sites on HA are a part of viral evolution to evade the host immune responses, there are specific glycosylation sites that are conserved during most of the evolution of the virus. In the present study, it was demonstrated that one such conserved glycosylation site at Asn(91) in H1N1 HA critically governs the glycan receptor-binding specificity and hence would potentially impinge on the host adaptation of the virus.

Molecular Characterisation of the Haemagglutinin Glycan-Binding Specificity of Egg-Adapted Vaccine Strains of the Pandemic 2009 H1N1 Swine Influenza A Virus.
The haemagglutinin (HA) glycan binding selectivity of H1N1 influenza viruses is an important determinant for the host range of the virus and egg-adaption during vaccine production. This study integrates glycan binding data with structure-recognition models to examine the impact of the K123N, D225G and Q226R mutations (as seen in the HA of vaccine strains of the pandemic 2009 H1N1 swine influenz...

To the editor: The preferential binding of influenza virus to sialic acid-α2,3-galactose (α2,3 receptor) or sialic acid-α2,6-galactose (α2,6 receptors) may determine its tropism as α2,3 and α2,6 receptors are dominant on lower and upper respiratory cells respectively [1]. The recent glycan microarray analysis suggested that the haemagglutinin (HA) D222G substitution could cause a shift from α2,...

Background: A new pandemic influenza A (H1N1) emerged in April 2009, causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Since mutations in the haemagglutinin (HA) may influence the antigenicity and pathogenicity of the virus, continued epidemiological and molecular characterization for the effective control of pandemic flu and developing of more appropriate vaccine is crucial. Objective: To monitor ...

Accompany with quantitative changes in concentration of acute protein there are qualitative alterations in the carbohydrate moiety (glycosylation) of these proteins in different disease. Haptoglobin (Hp) is one of the human acute phase proteins that undergoes glycosylation changes in disease. There is evidence that glycosylation of Hp changes in ovarian cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and liver ...
