Attached to this structure is a unique <scene name='76/761695/Histriad/5'>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]] (Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein) and helps stabilize a LAMP1-"compatible" conformation by providing a molecular mechanism for the pH-dependent receptor switching<ref name="MolMechforLAMP1" />. The histidine triad is critical in forming a binding site for LAMP1 (insert scene).
