Protein detail:


Protein name Hemagglutinin Protein
Uniprot protein ID P08362
Protein length 617 amino acids
Protein description Hemagglutinin Protein attaches the virus to cell receptors and thereby initiating infection. Binding of H protein to the receptor induces a conformational change that allows the F protein to trigger virion/cell membranes fusion. May use human CD46 and/or SLAMF1 as receptors for viral entry into the cell. The high degree of interaction between H and MCP/CD46 results in down-regulation of the latter from the surface of infected cells, rendering them more sensitive to c3b-mediated complement lysis.

Title Mutations in the stalk of the measles virus hemagglutinin protein decrease fusion but do not interfere with virus-specific interaction with the homologous fusion protein
Author Elizabeth A Corey,Ronald M Iorio
Evidence The roles of the heptadic residues (I84, V91, I98, and L105) in the fusion process were examined by the introduction of an alanine substitution at each of these positions in the MV H protein and by characterization of the mutated proteins.
