FunctionQ6GYW3_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 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. 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 (By similarity).[RuleBase:RU003324][SAAS:SAAS013829_004_327643] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedComparing the structures of H3, H5 and H9 subtype haemagglutinins, we deduced a structural basis for including all 15 influenza subtypes in four clades. H3, H5 and H9 represent three of these clades; we now report the structure of an H7 HA as a representative of the fourth clade. We confirm the structure of the turn at the N-terminus of the conserved central alpha-helix of HA2, and the combination of ionisable residues near the "fusion peptide" as clade-specific features. We compare the structures of three H1 HAs with H5 HA in the same clade, to refine our previous classification and we confirm the division of the clades into two groups of two. We also show the roles of carbohydrate side chains in the esterase-fusion domain boundaries in the formation of clade-specific structural markers. H1 and H7 influenza haemagglutinin structures extend a structural classification of haemagglutinin subtypes.,Russell RJ, Gamblin SJ, Haire LF, Stevens DJ, Xiao B, Ha Y, Skehel JJ Virology. 2004 Aug 1;325(2):287-96.
