HE recognizes the host cell surface receptor - a sialic acid derivative. The esterase region of the HE is responsible for the destruction of the receptor. Structural highlights The biological assmebly of HE is a dimer and each monomer contains 3 domains: the membrane fusion domain, the esterase domain and the receptor-binding domain. The receptor binding site of HE is located at five exposed surface loops. Acetylated sialic acid binding site. HE contains a conserved metal-binding site. 3D structures of hemagglutinin-esterase Hemagglutinin-esterase 3D structures
