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 Two additional proteins carrying double alanine substitutions, S244A/L246A and S244A/E245A, were prepared and characterized.
