STRUCTURE OF INFLUENZA HAEMAGGLUTININ AT THE PH OF MEMBRANE FUSION
Overview
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.
About this Structure
1HTM is a Protein complex structure of sequences from Bacteria. The following page contains interesting information on the relation of 1HTM with [Hemagglutinin]. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
