Abstract
Influenza A virus is a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus, responsible for significant seasonal morbidity and mortality every year. Influenza encodes the surface hemagglutinin glycoprotein (HA), a multifunctional protein that is responsible for receptor binding, and closely linked to transmission, host adaptation, and pathogenicity. Binding to sialic acid is critical to viral infectivity, and can be affected by several well-characterized amino acids within the receptor binding site. We passaged a non-agglutinating mutant virus in mice and MDCK cells to isolate pseudorevertant viruses with mutations outside of the receptor binding site that significantly affected receptor binding. Despite being fully infectious in mice and MDCK cells, these mutant viruses did not recognize the classical sialic acid receptors present on glycan microarrays available from the Consortium for Functional Glycomics. Rather these mutants bound to a subset of sialic acid derivatives present in human serum and other mammalian tissues. Additionally, we sought to determine if the receptor binding patterns of early pandemic H1N1 isolates differed from both a prior seasonal strain and a related swine strain incapable of sustained human-to-human transmission. Interestingly, the strains bound highly similar receptors, indicating that many circulating swine strains might have the necessary receptor specificity to cause human infection, but additional factors are necessary for efficient transmission among humans. Together, these results utilize glycan microarray technology to broadly explore the influenza receptor binding of laboratory and mammalian species, and begin to describe binding to a new subset of biologically relevant sialic acid derivatives.
