Structure of reovirus attachment protein sigma1 in complex with alpha-2,3-sialyllactoseStructure of reovirus attachment protein sigma1 in complex with alpha-2,3-sialyllactose
Structural highlights
FunctionSIGM1_REOVD Fiber-like molecule that attaches the virion to the host cell membrane by binding to the primary receptor F11R/JAM-A and to sialic acid containing proteins (coreceptor). The interaction of sigma-1 with F11R is required for NF-kB activation and apoptosis. Binding to both sialic acid and F11R is required to induce maximal levels of apoptosis. See Also |
