[PMID: 37039701 PMCID: PMC10269610 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.04537-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2023] Open
Abstract
To understand the molecular evolution of human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2), 21 Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase (HN) gene sequences covering seven Chinese provinces in 2011 and 2017 to 2021 were combined with 90 published HN sequences worldwide for phylogenetic analysis. The result showed that global HPIV2 could be classified into two distinct clusters (I and II), five lineages (IA to IIE), and four sublineages (IB1 and 2, and IIE1 and 2). The minimum genetic distances between different clusters and lineages were 0.049 and 0.014, respectively. In the last decade, one lineage (IID) and three sublineages (IB1, IB2, and IIE1) have been cocirculating in China, with the sublineages IB2 and IIE1 dominating, while sublineages IB1 and IIE1 are dominant globally. In addition, the spread of HPIV2 had relative spatial clustering, and sublineage IB2 has only been detected in China thus far. The overall evolution rate of HPIV2 was relatively low, on the order of 10-4 substitutions/site/year, except for sublineage IB2 at 10-3 substitutions/site/year. Furthermore, human-animal transmission was observed, suggesting that the HPIV2 might have jumped out of animal reservoirs in approximately 1922, the predicted time of a common ancestor. The entire HN protein was under purifying/negative selection, and the specific amino acid changes and two novel N-glycosylation sites (N316 and N517) in sublineages IB1, IB2, and IIE1 were mostly located in the globular head region of the HN protein. In this study, preliminary evolutionary characteristics of HPIV2 based on the HN gene were obtained, increasing the recognition of the evolution and adaptation of HPIV2. IMPORTANCE The phylogenetic analysis showed that global HPIV2 could be classified into two distinct clusters (I and II) and five lineages (IA to IIE) with at least 0.049 and 0.014 genetic distances between clusters and lineages, respectively. Furthermore, lineages IB and IIE could be further divided into two sublineages (IB1-2 and IIE1-2). All China sequences belong to one lineage and three sublineages (IB1, IB2, IID, and IIE1), among which sublineages IB2 and IIE1 are predominant and cocirculating in China, while sublineages IB1 and IIE1 are dominant globally. The overall evolution rate of HPIV2 is on the order of 10-4 substitutions/site/year, with the highest rate of 2.18 × 10-3 for sublineage IB2. The entire HN protein is under purifying/negative selection, and the specific amino acid substitutions and two novel N-glycosylation sites (N316 and N517) in sublineages IB1, IB2, and IIE1 are mostly located in the globular head region of the HN protein.

Abstract
Sendai virus (SeV, formally murine respirovirus) is a membrane-enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus in the Paramyxoviridae family and is closely related to human parainfluenza viruses. SeV has long been utilized as a model paramyxovirus and has recently gained attention as a viral vector candidate for both laboratory and clinical applications. To infect host cells, SeV must first bind to sialic acid glycolipid or glycoprotein receptors on the host cell surface via its hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein. Receptor binding induces a conformational change in HN, which allosterically triggers the viral fusion (F) protein to catalyze membrane fusion. While it is known that SeV binds to α2,3-linked sialic acid receptors, and there has been some study into the chemical requirements of those receptors, key mechanistic features of SeV binding remain unknown, in part because traditional approaches often convolve binding and fusion. Here, we develop and employ a fluorescence microscopy-based assay to observe SeV binding to supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) at the single-particle level, which easily disentangles binding from fusion. Using this assay, we investigate mechanistic questions of SeV binding. We identify chemical structural features of ganglioside receptors that influence viral binding and demonstrate that binding is cooperative with respect to receptor density. We measure the characteristic decay time of unbinding and provide evidence supporting a "rolling" mechanism of viral mobility following receptor binding. We also study the dependence of binding on target cholesterol concentration. Interestingly, we find that although SeV binding shows striking parallels in cooperative binding with a prior report of Influenza A virus, it does not demonstrate a similar sensitivity to cholesterol concentration and receptor nanocluster formation.

Virol J 2019; 16:164.

Abstract
Background The paramyxovirus haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) is a multifunctional protein that is responsible for attachment to receptors, removal of receptors from infected cells to prevent viral self-aggregation (neuraminidase, NA) and fusion promotion. It is commonly accepted that there are two receptor binding sites in the globular head of HN, and the second receptor binding site is only involved in the function of receptor binding and fusion promotion. Methods 10 conserved residues in the second receptor binding site of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) HN were chosen and substituted to alanine (A). The desired mutants were examined to detect the functional change in hemadsorption (HAD) ability, NA activity and fusion promotion ability. Results The HAD and fusion promotion ability of mutants C172A, R174A, C196A, D198A, Y526A and E547A were abolished. Compared with wild-type (wt) HN, the HAD of mutants T167A, S202A and R516A decreased to 55.81, 44.53, 69.02%, respectively, and the fusion promotion ability of these three mutants decreased to 54.74, 49.46, 65.26%, respectively; however, mutant G171A still maintained fusion promotion ability comparable with wt HN but had impaired HAD ability. All the site-directed mutations altered the NA activity of NDV HN without affecting protein cell surface expression. Conclusions The data suggest that mutants C172A, R174A, C196A, D198A, Y526A and E547A do not allow the conformational change that is required for fusion promotion ability and HAD activity, while the other mutants only affect the conformational change to a limited extent, except mutant G171A with intact fusion promotion ability. Overall, the conserved amino acids in the second receptor binding site, especially residues C172, R174, C196, D198, Y526 and E547, are crucial to normal NDV HN protein function.

Abstract
Human parainfluenza virus type 1 (hPIV1) does not form clear plaque by the conventional plaque formation assay because of slightly a cytopathic effects in many cell lines infected with hPIV1, thus making in virus titration, isolation and inhibitor evaluation difficult. We have succeeded in fluorescent histochemical visualization of sialidase activities of influenza A and B viruses, Newcastle disease virus and Sendai virus by using a novel fluorescent sialidase substrate, 2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-bromophenyl 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-α-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosidonic acid (BTP3-Neu5Ac). In this study, we applied the BTP3-Neu5Ac assay for rapid detection of hPIV1 and hPIV type 3. The BTP3-Neu5Ac assay could histochemically visualize dot-blotted hPIVs on a membrane and hPIV-infected cells as local fluorescence under UV irradiation. We succeeded in distinct fluorescent visualization of hPIV1-infected cells in only 3 d using the BTP3-Neu5Ac assay. Due to there being no fixation, hPIV1 was isolated directly from fluorescent stained focus cells by the BTP3-Neu5Ac assay. Establishment of a sensitive, easy, and rapid fluorescent focus detection assay for hPIV, hPIV1 in particular will contribute greatly to progress in hPIV studies.

Abstract
Human parainfluenza type-3 virus (hPIV-3) is one of the principal aetiological agents of acute respiratory illness in infants worldwide and also shows high disease severity in the elderly and immunocompromised, but neither therapies nor vaccines are available to treat or prevent infection, respectively. Using a multidisciplinary approach we report herein that the approved drug suramin acts as a non-competitive in vitro inhibitor of the hPIV-3 haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN). Furthermore, the drug inhibits viral replication in mammalian epithelial cells with an IC50 of 30 μM, when applied post-adsorption. Significantly, we show in cell-based drug-combination studies using virus infection blockade assays, that suramin acts synergistically with the anti-influenza virus drug zanamivir. Our data suggests that lower concentrations of both drugs can be used to yield high levels of inhibition. Finally, using NMR spectroscopy and in silico docking simulations we confirmed that suramin binds HN simultaneously with zanamivir. This binding event occurs most likely in the vicinity of the protein primary binding site, resulting in an enhancement of the inhibitory potential of the N-acetylneuraminic acid-based inhibitor. This study offers a potentially exciting avenue for the treatment of parainfluenza infection by a combinatorial repurposing approach of well-established approved drugs.

Abstract
Paramyxoviruses cause a wide variety of human and animal diseases. They infect host cells using the coordinated action of two surface glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (HN, H, or G) and the fusion protein (F). HN binds sialic acid on host cells (hemagglutinin activity) and hydrolyzes these receptors during viral egress (neuraminidase activity, NA). Additionally, receptor binding is thought to induce a conformational change in HN that subsequently triggers major refolding in homotypic F, resulting in fusion of virus and target cell membranes. HN is an oligomeric type II transmembrane protein with a short cytoplasmic domain and a large ectodomain comprising a long helical stalk and large globular head domain containing the enzymatic functions (NA domain). Extensive biochemical characterization has revealed that HN-stalk residues determine F specificity and activation. However, the F/HN interaction and the mechanisms whereby receptor binding regulates F activation are poorly defined. Recently, a structure of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) HN ectodomain revealed the heads (NA domains) in a "4-heads-down" conformation whereby two of the heads form a symmetrical interaction with two sides of the stalk. The interface includes stalk residues implicated in triggering F, and the heads sterically shield these residues from interaction with F (at least on two sides). Here we report the x-ray crystal structure of parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) HN ectodomain in a "2-heads-up/2-heads-down" conformation where two heads (covalent dimers) are in the "down position," forming a similar interface as observed in the NDV HN ectodomain structure, and two heads are in an "up position." The structure supports a model in which the heads of HN transition from down to up upon receptor binding thereby releasing steric constraints and facilitating the interaction between critical HN-stalk residues and F.

Abstract
The human parainfluenza virus (hPIV) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein binds (H) oligosaccharide receptors that contain N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and cleaves (N) Neu5Ac from these oligosaccharides. In order to determine if one of HN's two functions is predominant, we measured the affinity of H for its ligands by a solid-phase binding assay with two glycoprotein substrates and by surface plasmon resonance with three monovalent glycans. We compared the dissociation constant (Kd) values from these experiments with previously determined Michaelis-Menten constants (Kms) for the enzyme activity. We found that glycoprotein substrates and monovalent glycans containing Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc bind HN with Kd values in the 10 to 100 μM range. Km values for HN were previously determined to be on the order of 1 mM (M. M. Tappert, D. F. Smith, and G. M. Air, J. Virol. 85:12146-12159, 2011). A Km value greater than the Kd value indicates that cleavage occurs faster than the dissociation of binding and will dominate under N-permissive conditions. We propose, therefore, that HN is a neuraminidase that can hold its substrate long enough to act as a binding protein. The N activity can therefore regulate binding by reducing virus-receptor interactions when the concentration of receptor is high.

Abstract
The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein of human parainfluenza viruses (hPIVs) both binds (H) and cleaves (N) oligosaccharides that contain N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). H is thought to correspond to receptor binding and N to receptor-destroying activity. At present, N's role in infection remains unclear: does it destroy only receptors, or are there other targets? We previously demonstrated that hPIV1 and 3 HNs bind to oligosaccharides containing the motif Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc (M. Amonsen, D. F. Smith, R. D. Cummings, and G. M. Air, J. Virol. 81:8341-8345, 2007). In the present study, we tested the binding specificity of hPIV2 on the Consortium for Functional Glycomics' glycan array and found that hPIV2 binds to oligosaccharides containing the same motif. We determined the specificities of N on red blood cells, soluble small-molecule and glycoprotein substrates, and the glycan array and compared them to the specificities of H. hPIV2 and -3, but not hPIV1, cleaved their ligands on red blood cells. hPIV1, -2, and -3 cleaved their NeuAcα2-3 ligands on the glycan array; hPIV2 and -3 also cleaved NeuAcα2-6 ligands bound by influenza A virus. While all three HNs exhibited similar affinities for all cleavable soluble substrates, their activities were 5- to 10-fold higher on small molecules than on glycoproteins. In addition, some soluble glycoproteins were not cleaved, despite containing oligosaccharides that were cleaved on the glycan array. We conclude that the susceptibility of an oligosaccharide substrate to N increases when the substrate is fixed to a surface. These findings suggest that HN may undergo a conformational change that activates N upon receptor binding at a cell surface.

Abstract
The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein is utilized by human parainfluenza viruses for binding to the host cell. By the use of glycan array assays, we demonstrate that, in addition to the first catalytic-binding site, the HN of human parainfluenza virus type 1 has a second site for binding covered by N-linked glycan. Our data suggest that attachment of the first site to sialic acid (SA)-linked receptors triggers exposure of the second site. We found that both sites bind to α2-3-linked SAs with a preference for a sialyl-Lewis(x) motif. Binding to α2-3-linked SAs with a sulfated sialyl-Lewis motif as well as to α2-8-linked SAs was unique for the second binding site. Neither site recognizes α2-6-linked oligosaccharides.

Abstract
The PIV-5 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein is a multifunctional protein with sialic acid binding, neuraminidase and fusion promotion activity. HN is internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis and degraded. HN lacks internalization signals in its cytoplasmic tail but a single glutamic acid present at residue 37 at the putative transmembrane/ectodomain boundary is critical. We rescued rPIV-5 with mutations E37D or E37K, which have been shown to impair or abolish HN internalization, respectively. These viruses exhibited growth properties similar to wild-type (wt) virus but are impaired for fitness in tissue culture. Biochemical analysis of HN activities showed differences between HN E37D and HN E37K in fusion promotion and incorporation of HN and F into virions. Furthermore, oligomeric analyses indicate that HN E37 mutants perturb the tetrameric organization of HN, probably by destabilizing the dimer-of-dimers interface.

A variant with an Asn-to-Ser mutation at residue 173 (N173S) in HN was recovered from mice after a second passage of rSeV(hPIV-1HN) in the presence of BCX 2798 (10 mg/kg of body weight daily). The N173S mutant remained sensitive to BCX 2798 in neuraminidase inhibition assays but was more than 10,000-fold less sensitive to the compound in hemagglutination inhibition tests than rSeV(hPIV-1HN). Its susceptibility to BCX 2798 in plaque reduction assays was reduced fivefold and did not differ from that of rSeV(hPIV-1HN) in mice. The N173S mutant failed to be efficiently eluted from erythrocytes and released from cells. It demonstrated reduced growth in cell culture and superior growth in mice. The results for gel electrophoresis analysis were consistent with the loss of the N-linked glycan at residue 173 in the mutant. Sequence and structural comparisons revealed that residue 173 on hPIV-1 HN is located close to the region of the second receptor-binding site identified in Newcastle disease virus HN. Our study suggests that the N-linked glycan at residue 173 masks a second receptor-binding site on hPIV-1 HN.

Abstract
We investigated the binding of human parainfluenza virus types 1 and 3 (hPIV1 and hPIV3, respectively) to the glycan array of the Consortium for Functional Glycomics and binding and their release from erythrocytes under conditions where neuraminidase is inactive or active. hPIV1 and hPIV3 bind modifications of Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc, including the sialyl-Lewis(x) motif and structures containing 6-sulfogalactose. hPIV1 and hPIV3 thus bind typical N-linked glycans, in contrast to avian influenza virus H5 hemagglutinin (J. Stevens, O. Blixt, T. M. Tumpey, J. K. Taubenberger, J. C. Paulson, and I. A. Wilson, Science 312:404-410, 2006), which binds less-common motifs. While the receptor is not the sole determinant of tropism, hPIV or H5 influenza virus infection of specific cells that express receptors may contribute to their different pathologies.

Abstract
Mutations were generated in residues at the putative catalytic site of the haemagglutinin–neuraminidase (HN) protein of Newcastle disease virus Clone 30 strain (Arg498, Glu258, Tyr262, Tyr317 and Ser418) and their effects on its three associated activities were studied. Expression of the mutant proteins at the surface of HeLa cells was similar to that of the wild-type. Sialidase, receptor-binding and fusion-promotion activities were affected to different degrees for all mutants studied. Mutant Arg498Lys lost most of its sialidase activity, although it retained most of the receptor-binding activity, suggesting that, for the former activity, besides the presence of a basic residue, the proximity to the substrate molecule is also important, as Lys is shorter than Arg. Proximity also seems to be important in substrate recognition, since Tyr262Phe retained most of its sialidase activity while Tyr262Ser lost most of it. Also, Ser418Ala displayed most of the wild-type sialidase activity. However, a kinetic and thermodynamic study of the sialidase activity of the Tyr262Ser and Ser418Ala mutants was performed and revealed that the hydroxyl group of these residues also plays an important role in catalysis, since such activity was much less effective than that of the wild-type and these mutations modified their activation energy for sialidase catalysis. The discrepancy of the modifications in sialidase and receptor-binding activities in the mutants analysed does not account for the topological coincidence of the two sites. These results also suggest that the globular head of HN protein may play a role in fusion-promotion activity.

Abstract
Porcine rubulavirus (PoRV) is an emerging virus responsible for meningoencephalitis, respiratory distress, and reproductive alterations in pigs. The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein is the most exposed and antigenic of the virus proteins. HN plays central roles in PoRV infection; i.e., it recognizes sialic acid-containing cell receptors that mediate virus attachment and penetration; in addition, its neuraminidase (sialic acid hydrolysis) activity has been proposed to be a virulence factor. So, HN is an ideal target for therapeutic treatment and prevention of this viral infection. This work describes a simple, fast, and sensitive method to purify the active form of HN protein based on its isoelectric point. HN was purified at a pH of 4.4, at which a single protein band of 66 kDa was observed on SDS-PAGE. Pure HN showed a maximal enzymatic activity at pH 3.5 and 37 degrees C using bovine fetuin as substrate. However, it retains circa 80% of its activity at a wide temperature range from 30 to 55 degrees C. We also describe improvements of neuraminidase determination method, which permits analysis in a microplate spectrophotometer, thereby increasing the sensitivity and reducing the costs of valuable reagents and biological samples.

Abstract
Paramyxoviruses are the leading cause of respiratory disease in children. Several paramyxoviruses possess a surface glycoprotein, the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), that is involved in attachment to sialic acid receptors, promotion of fusion, and removal of sialic acid from infected cells and progeny virions. Previously we showed that Newcastle disease virus (NDV) HN contained a pliable sialic acid recognition site that could take two states, a binding state and a catalytic state. Here we present evidence for a second sialic acid binding site at the dimer interface of HN and present a model for its involvement in cell fusion. Three different crystal forms of NDV HN now reveal identical tetrameric arrangements of HN monomers, perhaps indicative of the tetramer association found on the viral surface.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) from a human parainfluenza virus is described at ca 2.0 A resolution, both in native form and in complex with three substrate analogues. In support of earlier work on the structure of the homologous protein from the avian pathogen Newcastle disease virus (NDV), we observe a dimer of beta-propellers and find no evidence for spatially separated sites performing the receptor-binding and neuraminidase functions of the protein. As with the NDV HN, the active site of the HN of parainfluenza viruses is structurally flexible, suggesting that it may be able to switch between a receptor-binding state and a catalytic state. However, in contrast to the NDV structures, we observe no ligand-induced structural changes that extend beyond the active site and modify the dimer interface.

Abstract
Human parainfluenza virus types 1 (hPIV-1), 2, and 3 represent significant respiratory pathogens for which no antiviral treatment is currently available. To characterize the biochemical functions of the hPIV-1 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein, a potential target for antiviral therapy, we cloned and expressed a soluble portion of hPIV-1 HN (amino acid residues 137-575), lacking the N-terminal hydrophobic membrane anchorage region, in insect cells using the baculovirus secretion expression system. The expressed HN protein was purified through cation-exchange chromatography followed by metal affinity chromatography, using the 6xHis epitope introduced at the carboxyl terminus of the recombinant protein. N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of purified HN indicated that the honeybee melittin secretion signal peptide was correctly removed during post-translational processing. Further characterization revealed that the purified HN protein was N-glycosylated and exhibited neuraminidase activity whose characteristics resembled those of the native HN protein of hPIV-1 virions. The establishment of this expression and purification system has allowed us to further explore the biochemical characteristics of paramyxovirus HN and to obtain material that could be suitable for X-ray crystallography studies.

Abstract
This study examines the contribution of the fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein genes of bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) to its restricted replication in the respiratory tract of nonhuman primates. A chimeric recombinant human parainfluenza type 3 virus (HPIV3) containing BPIV3 F and HN glycoprotein genes in place of its own and the reciprocal recombinant consisting of BPIV3 bearing the HPIV3 F and HN genes (rBPIV3-F(H)HN(H)) were generated to assess the effect of glycoprotein substitution on replication of HPIV3 and BPIV3 in the upper and lower respiratory tract of rhesus monkeys. The chimeric viruses were readily recovered and replicated in simian LLC-MK2 cells to a level comparable to that of their parental viruses, suggesting that the heterologous glycoproteins were compatible with the PIV3 internal proteins. HPIV3 bearing the BPIV3 F and HN genes was restricted in replication in rhesus monkeys to a level similar to that of its BPIV3 parent virus, indicating that the glycoprotein genes of BPIV3 are major determinants of its host range restriction of replication in rhesus monkeys. rBPIV3-F(H)HN(H) replicated in rhesus monkeys to a level intermediate between that of HPIV3 and BPIV3. This observation indicates that the F and HN genes make a significant contribution to the overall attenuation of BPIV3 for rhesus monkeys. Furthermore, it shows that BPIV3 sequences outside the F and HN region also contribute to the attenuation phenotype in primates, a finding consistent with the previous demonstration that the nucleoprotein coding sequence of BPIV3 is a determinant of its attenuation for primates. Despite its restricted replication in the respiratory tract of rhesus monkeys, rBPIV3-F(H)HN(H) conferred a level of protection against challenge with HPIV3 that was indistinguishable from that induced by previous infection with wild-type HPIV3. The usefulness of rBPIV3-F(H)HN(H) as a vaccine candidate against HPIV3 and as a vector for other viral antigens is discussed.

Abstract
Sialic acid is the receptor determinant for the human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPF3) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein, the molecule responsible for binding of the virus to cell surfaces. In order for the fusion protein (F) of HPF3 to promote membrane fusion, HN must interact with its receptor. In addition to its role in receptor binding and fusion promotion, the HPF3 HN molecule contains receptor-destroying (sialidase) activity. The putative active sites are in the extracellular domain of this type II integral membrane protein. However, HN is not available in crystalline form; the exact locations of these sites, and the structural requirements for binding to the cellular receptor, which has not yet been isolated, are unknown. Nor have small molecular synthetic inhibitors of attachment or fusion that would provide insight into these processes been identified. The strategy in the present study was to develop an assay system that would provide a measure of a specific step in the viral cycle-functional interaction between viral glycoproteins and the cell during attachment and fusion-and serve to screen a variety of substances for inhibitory potential. The assay is based on our previous finding that CV-1 cells persistently infected (p.i.) with HPF3 do not fuse with one another but that the addition of uninfected CV-1 cells, supplying the critical sialic acid containing receptor molecules that bind HN, results in rapid fusion. In the present assay two HeLa cell types were used: we persistently infected HeLa-LTR-betagal cells, assessed their fusion with uninfected HeLa-tat cells, and then quantitated the beta-galactosidase (betagal) produced as a result of this fusion. The analog alpha-2-S-methyl-5-N-thioacetylneuraminic acid (alpha-Neu5thioAc2SMe) interfered with fusion, decreasing betagal production by 84% at 50 mM and by 24% at 25 mM. In beginning to extend our studies to different types of molecules, we tested an unsaturated derivative of sialic acid, 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-n-acetyl neuraminic acid (DANA), which is known to inhibit influenza neuraminidase by virtue of being a transition-state analog. We found that 10 mM DANA inhibited neuraminidase activity in HPF3 viral preparations. More significantly, this compound was active in our assay of HN-receptor interaction; 10 mM DANA completely blocked fusion and betagal production, and hemadsorption inhibition by DANA suggested that DANA blocks attachment. In plaque reduction assays performed with the compounds, the active analog alpha-Neu5thioAc2SMe reduced plaque formation by 50% at a 50 mM concentration; DANA caused a 90% inhibition in the plaque reduction assay at a concentration of 25 mM. Our results indicate that specific sialic acid analogs that mimic the cellular receptor determinant of HPF3 can block virus cell interaction and that an unsaturated n-acetyl-neuraminic acid derivative with affinity to the HN site responsible for neuraminidase activity also interferes with HN-receptor binding. Strategies suggested by these findings are now being pursued to obtain information regarding the relative locations of the active sites of HN and to further elucidate the relationship between the receptor-binding and receptor-destroying activities of HN during the viral life cycle. The quantitative assay that we describe is of immediate applicability to large-scale screening for potential inhibitors of HPF3 infection in vivo.

Abstract
Human parainfluenza viruses types 1, 2 and 3 (HPF 1, 2 and 3) are important pathogens in children. While these viruses share common structures and replication strategies, they target different parts of the respiratory tract; the most common outcomes of infection with HPF3 are bronchiolitis and pneumonia, while HPF 1 and 2 are associated with croup. While the HPF3 fusion protein (F) is critical for membrane fusion, our previous work revealed that the receptor binding hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) is also essential to the fusion process; interaction between HN and its sialic acid-containing receptor on cell surfaces is required for HPF3 mediated cell fusion. Using our understanding of HPF3 HN's functions in the cell-binding and viral entry process, we are investigating the ways in which these processes differ in HPF 1 and 2, in part by manipulating receptor availability. Three experimental treatments were used to compare the HN-receptor interaction of HPF 1, 2 and 3: infection at high multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.); bacterial neuraminidase treatment of cells infected at low m.o.i.; and viral neuraminidase treatment of cells infected at low m.o.i. (using Newcastle disease virus [NDV] neuraminidase or UV irradiated HPF3 as sources of neuraminidase). In cells infected with HPF3, we have shown that infection with high m.o.i. blocks fusion, by removing sialic acid receptors for the viral HN. However, in cells infected with HPF 1 and 2, infection with high m.o.i. did not block fusion; the fusion increases with increasing m.o.i. In cells infected with HPF 1 and 2, neither bacterial nor NDV neuraminidase blocked cell fusion, using amounts of neuraminidase that completely block fusion of HPF3 infected cells. However, when inactivated HPF3 was used as a source of viral neuraminidase, the treatment inhibited fusion of cells infected with HPF 1 and 2 as well as 3. The differences found between these viruses in terms of their interaction with the cell, ability to modulate cell-cell fusion and response to exogenous neuraminidases of various specificities, may reflect salient differences in biological properties of the three viruses.

Abstract
The ability of enveloped viruses to cause disease depends on their ability to enter the host cell via membrane fusion events. An understanding of these early events in infection, crucial for the design of methods of blocking infection, is needed for viruses that mediate membrane fusion at neutral pH, such as paramyxoviruses and human immunodeficiency virus. Sialic acid is the receptor for the human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPF3) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein, the molecule responsible for binding of the virus to cell surfaces. In order for the fusion protein (F) of HPF3 to promote membrane fusion, the HN must interact with its receptor. In the present report, two variants of HPF3 with increased fusion-promoting phenotypes were selected and used to study the function of the HN glycoprotein in membrane fusion. Increased fusogenicity correlated with single amino acid changes in the HN protein that resulted in increased binding of the variant viruses to the sialic acid receptor. These results suggest that the avidity of binding of the HN protein to its receptor regulates the level of F protein-mediated fusion and begin to define one role of the receptor-binding protein of a paramyxovirus in the membrane fusion process.

Abstract
The effect of anionic polymers (dextran sulfate, heparin and chondroitin sulfate) on fusion of Sendai virus with erythrocyte ghosts was studied. The effect of pH on the activity of these anionic polymers was also investigated. In order to examine the interaction of such polymers with the Sendai virion and erythrocyte ghost surfaces, the binding of virions to erythrocyte ghosts and the aggregation of virions and/or erythrocyte ghosts were also measured with respect to the same parameters. It was found that the anionic polymers suppressed the fusion of Sendai virus with erythrocyte ghosts. The order of effectiveness of the polymers in suppression was dextran sulfate greater than heparin greater than chondroitin sulfate, for the application of a same quantity (weight/ml) of the polymers. The lower the pH of the suspending medium, the more effective were the polymers in suppressing virion-erythrocyte ghost aggregation and fusion. The suppression of fusion was dependent on the concentration of the polymers applied: the higher the concentration of the polymer applied, the more the suppression was observed. Evidence from binding studies, turbidity measurements and electrophoretic mobility measurements indicates that the anionic polymers interact preferentially with the virion surface.

Abstract
A kinetic and quantitative analysis of the binding and fusion of Sendai virus with erythrocyte membranes was performed by using a membrane fusion assay based on the relief of fluorescence self-quenching. At 37 degrees C, the process of virus association displayed a half time of 2.5 min; at 4 degrees C, the half time was 3.0 min. The fraction of the viral dose which became cell associated was independent of the incubation temperature and increased with increasing target membrane concentration. On the average, one erythrocyte ghost can accommodate ca. 1,200 Sendai virus particles. The stability of viral attachment was sensitive to a shift in temperature: a fraction of the virions (ca. 30%), attached at 4 degrees C, rapidly (half time, ca. 2.5 min) eluted from the cell surface at 37 degrees C, irrespective of the presence of free virus in the medium. The elution can be attributed to a spontaneous, temperature-induced release, rather than to viral neuraminidase activity. Competition experiments with nonlabeled virus revealed that viruses destined to fuse do not exchange with free particles in the medium but rather bind in a rapid and irreversible manner. The fusion rate of Sendai virus was affected by the density of the virus particles on the cell surface and became restrained when more than 170 virus particles were attached per ghost. In principle, all virus particles added displayed fusion activity. However, at high virus-to-ghost ratios, only a fraction actually fused, indicating that a limited number of fusion sites exist on the erythrocyte membrane. We estimate that ca. 180 virus particles maximally can fuse with one erythrocyte ghost.

Abstract
We have isolated nine hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies directed against the HN glycoprotein of D26 strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and classified them into three groups by their biological reactivities. The group I antibodies from six clones had high hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and neutralization titers, and exhibited neuraminidase inhibition (NI) activity with substrates, both bovine fetuin and N-acetyl neuraminlactose, although the levels of maximum inhibition were greater with the former substrate. The group II antibodies from two clones also had high HI activity but showed a strongly substrate-dependent NI, with efficient inhibition against fetuin and a total lack of inhibition against neuraminlactose. These antibodies had neutralization capacity but the titers were much lower than those of group I antibodies. One clone (group III) secreted antibody which exhibited HI and NI with either substrate but no detectable neutralization activity. Frequency of isolation of antigenic variants and competitive binding assays have shown that group I and group II antibodies may recognize distinct regions not overlapping each other whereas antibodies placed within each of the two groups are to the respective same overlapping regions. The site of group III seemed to be close to or overlap the group I determinant but distinct from group II region. Using the isolated monoclonal antibodies we compared seven heterologous strains by HI and neutralization tests as well as by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results indicated that the regions recognized by group I antibodies would be conserved among the strains whereas those by the other two antibody groups might undergo considerable changes.

Abstract
Based on subcellular fractionation data, the following maturation pathways were proposed for the Newcastle disease virus glycoproteins. During or shortly after synthesis in rough endoplasmic reticulum, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F0) glycoproteins underwent dolichol pyrophosphate-mediated glycosylation, and HN assumed a partially trypsin-resistant conformation. HN began to associate into disulfide-linked dimers in rough endoplasmic reticulum, and at least one of its oligosaccharide side chains was processed to a complex form en route to the cell surface. During migration in intracellular membranes, F0 was proteolytically cleaved to F1.2. Neither HN nor F1,2 required oligosaccharide side chains for migration to plasma membranes, and cleavage of F0 also occurred without glycosylation. Virion- and plasma membrane-associated HN contained both complex and high-mannose oligosaccharide chains on the same molecule, and F1,2 contained at least high-mannose forms. Several of the properties of HN were notable for a viral glycoprotein. The oligosaccharide side chains of HN were modified very slowly in chick cells, whereas those of the G glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus were rapidly processed to a complex form. Therefore, their different rates of migration and carbohydrate processing were intrinsic properties of these glycoproteins. Consistent with its slow maturation, the HN glycopolypeptide accumulated to high levels in intracellular membranes as well as in plasma membranes. Intracellular HN contained immature oligosaccharide side chains, suggesting that it accumulated in the pre-Golgi/Golgi segment of the maturation pathway. The major site of accumulation of mature HN with neuraminidase activity was the plasma membrane.

Abstract
This chapter discusses the interaction of viruses with cell surface receptors. The rigorous characterizations of receptor–ligand interactions have been derived from binding studies of radiolabeled ligands in neuropharmacology and endocrinology. The definition of viral recognition sites as receptors involves three major criteria that are derived from models of ligand–receptor interactions: saturability, specificity, and competition. A variety of approaches have been used to study the interaction of viral particles with cell surface receptors or reception sites. A rigorous study of viral–receptor interactions requires the use of more than one technique as different approaches provide complementary information about viral binding. The chapter discusses membrane components that interact with viruses. The identification of the subviral components that are responsible for the binding of viruses to cell surfaces has preceded the structural understanding of the cellular receptors themselves. The chapter summarizes current data concerning the viral attachment protein (VAP) of selected viruses.

Abstract
A hybridoma cell line secreting antibody of the immunoglobulin G3 isotype with kappa light chains and with activity against the HN glycoprotein of the Kilham strain of mumps virus was established. The antibody exhibited structural homogeneity in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and had a microheterogeneous isoelectric spectrum characteristic of an antibody of monoclonal origin. The specificity of the monoclonal antibody, shown by immunoprecipitation performed with radiolabeled virus and infected cell lysates, was for the larger mumps virus glycoprotein. In functional assays the antibody inhibited the hemagglutinating and neuraminidase activities and neutralized the infectivity of the homologous Kilham strain of virus and clearly differentiated this strain from two heterologous strains, Enders and O'Take. The antibody was markedly less effective with the O'Take strain than with either the Kilham or Enders strain in inhibiting both hemagglutination and neuraminidase activity against the macromolecular substrate fetuin. The inhibition of the neuraminidase activity of the Kilham strain was independent of substrate size, the antibody inhibiting the hydrolysis of both fetuin and the trisaccharide neuraminlactose. By contrast, the antibody did not inhibit the hydrolysis of neuraminlactose by the two heterologous mumps strains. These results provide the first demonstration of antigenic differences between mumps virus strains and highlight the utility of monoclonal antibody in analyzing the structural basis underlying functional activities of the HN glycoproteins.
