Function

Q4VID6_CVHOC May serve as a secondary viral attachment protein for initiating infection, the spike protein being the major one. Structural protein that makes short spikes at the surface of the virus. Contains receptor binding and receptor-destroying activities. Seems to be a 'luxury' protein that is not absolutely necessary for virus infection in culture.[RuleBase:RU361278]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Human beta1-coronavirus (beta1CoV) OC43 emerged relatively recently through a single zoonotic introduction. Like related animal beta1CoVs, OC43 uses 9-O-acetylated sialic acid as receptor determinant. beta1CoV receptor binding is typically controlled by attachment/fusion spike protein S and receptor-binding/receptor-destroying hemagglutinin-esterase protein HE. We show that following OC43's introduction into humans, HE-mediated receptor binding was selected against and ultimately lost through progressive accumulation of mutations in the HE lectin domain. Consequently, virion-associated receptor-destroying activity toward multivalent glycoconjugates was reduced and altered such that some clustered receptor populations are no longer cleaved. Loss of HE lectin function was also observed for another respiratory human coronavirus, HKU1. This thus appears to be an adaptation to the sialoglycome of the human respiratory tract and for replication in human airways. The findings suggest that the dynamics of virion-glycan interactions contribute to host tropism. Our observations are relevant also to other human respiratory viruses of zoonotic origin, particularly influenza A virus.
