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 Interleukin-13 displaying retargeted oncolytic measles virus strains have significant activity against gliomas with improved specificity
Author Cory Allen,Georgia Paraskevakou,Ianko Iankov,Caterina Giannini,Mark Schroeder
Evidence We tested the hypothesis that measles virus entry could be retargeted via the IL-13Rα2. MV-GFP-HAA-IL-13 was generated from the Edmonston-NSe vaccine strain, by displaying human IL-13 at the C-terminus of the H protein, and introducing CD46 and signaling
