=== Histidine Triad===
Attached to this structure is a <scene name='76/761695/Histriad/5'>unique triad of histidines</scene> that is highly conserved among Old World arenaviruses. Located on the β-sheet face of GP1, the histidine triad is a structural element that directly interacts with [[LAMP1]] and helps stabilize a LAMP1-"compatible" conformation by providing a molecular mechanism for the pH-dependent receptor switching<ref name="MolMechforLAMP1" />.

===LAMP1 Binding Site===

Recent studies show that receptor switching is critical during cell entry of Lassa virus. Receptor switching to LAMP1 is critical for triggering membrane fusion by Lassa virus.
