2o39
Human Adenovirus type 11 knob in complex with domains SCR1 and SCR2 of CD46 (membrane cofactor protein, MCP)
|
OverviewOverview
Adenoviruses (Ads) are important human pathogens and valuable gene delivery vehicles. We report here the crystal structure of the species B Ad11 knob complexed with the Ad11-binding region of its receptor CD46. The conformation of bound CD46 differs profoundly from its unbound state, with the bent surface structure straightened into an elongated rod. This mechanism of interaction is likely to be conserved among many pathogens that target CD46 or related molecules.

Known diseases associated with this structure: Hemolytic-uremic syndrome OMIM:[120920], Measles, susceptibility to OMIM:[120920]
