STRUCTURE OF INFLUENZA HAEMAGGLUTININ AT THE PH OF MEMBRANE FUSION
OverviewOverview
Low pH induces a conformational change in the influenza virus, haemagglutinin, which then mediates fusion of the viral and host cell, membranes. The three-dimensional structure of a fragment of the, haemagglutinin in this conformation reveals a major refolding of the, secondary and tertiary structure of the molecule. The apolar fusion, peptide moves at least 100 A to one tip of the molecule. At the other end, a helical segment unfolds, a subdomain relocates reversing the chain, direction, and part of the structure becomes disordered.
