Function

HEMA_I00A1 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.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04072]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Human broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) targeting the hemagglutinin stalk of group 1 influenza A viruses (IAVs) are biased for IGHV1-69 alleles that use phenylalanine (F54) but not leucine (L54) within their CDRH2 loops. Despite this, we demonstrated that both alleles encode for human IAV bnAbs that employ structurally convergent modes of contact to the same epitope. To resolve differences in lineage expandability, we compared F54 versus L54 as substrate within humanized mice, where antibodies develop with human-like CDRH3 diversity but are restricted to single V(H) genes. While both alleles encoded for bnAb precursors, only F54 IGHV1-69 supported elicitation of heterosubtypic serum bnAbs following immunization with a stalk-only nanoparticle vaccine. L54 IGHV1-69 was unproductive, co-encoding for anergic B cells and autoreactive stalk antibodies that were cleared from B cell memory. Moreover, human stalk antibodies also demonstrated L54-dependent autoreactivity. Therefore, IGHV1-69 polymorphism, which is skewed ethnically, gates tolerance and vaccine expandability of influenza bnAbs.
