Function

Q9WFX4_9INFA Binds to sialic acid-containing receptors on the cell surface, bringing about the attachment of the virus particle to the cell. This attachment induces virion internalization either through clathrin-dependent endocytosis or through clathrin- and caveolin-independent pathway. Plays a major role in the determination of host range restriction and virulence. Class I viral fusion protein. Responsible for penetration of the virus into the cell cytoplasm by mediating the fusion of the membrane of the endocytosed virus particle with the endosomal membrane. Low pH in endosomes induces an irreversible conformational change in HA2, releasing the fusion hydrophobic peptide. Several trimers are required to form a competent fusion pore.[SAAS:SAAS00842036] Binds to sialic acid-containing receptors on the cell surface, bringing about the attachment of the virus particle to the cell. This attachment induces virion internalization of about two third of the virus particles through clathrin-dependent endocytosis and about one third through a clathrin- and caveolin-independent pathway. Plays a major role in the determination of host range restriction and virulence. Class I viral fusion protein.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Influenza pandemic occurs when a new strain from other animal species overcomes the inter-species barriers and supports rapid human-to-human transmission. A critical prerequisite to this process is that hemagglutinin (HA) acquires a few key mutations to switch from avian receptors to human receptors. Previous studies suggest that H1 and H2/H3 HAs use different sets of mutations for the switch. This report shows that HA from the 1918 H1N1 pandemic virus (1918H1 HA) adopts the set of mutations used by H2/H3 HAs in receptor-preference switch when its 130-loop is made similar to those of H2/H3 HAs. Thus, the 130-loop appears to be the key determinant for the different mutations employed by pandemic H1 or H2/H3 HA. The correlation of the mutational routes and the 130-loop as unraveled in this study opens the door for efficient investigation of mutations required by other HA subtypes for inter-human airborne transmission.
