Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM, CD150) is the universal morbillivirus receptor. Based on the identification of measles virus (MV) hemagglutinin (H) amino acids supporting human SLAM-dependent cell entry, we mutated canine distemper virus (CDV) H and identified residues necessary for efficient canine SLAM-dependent membrane fusion. These residues are located in two nearby clusters in a new CDV H structural model. To completely abolish SLAM-dependent fusion, combinations of mutations were necessary. We rescued a SLAM-blind recombinant CDV with six mutations that did not infect ferret peripheral blood mononuclear cells while retaining full infectivity in epithelial cells.
信号淋巴细胞激活分子(SLAM,CD150)是普遍的麻疹病毒受体。基于对支持人源SLAM依赖性细胞进入的麻疹病毒(MV)血凝素(H)氨基酸的鉴定,我们对犬瘟热病毒(CDV)H进行了突变,并确定了高效的犬源SLAM依赖性膜融合所必需的残基。这些残基位于新的CDV H结构模型中两个相邻的簇中。为了完全消除SLAM依赖性融合,需要进行突变组合。我们拯救了一种具有六个突变的SLAM缺陷型重组CDV,该病毒不感染雪貂外周血单核细胞,同时在上皮细胞中保留完全的感染性。
