ABSTRACT Paramyxovirus infects cells by initially attaching to a sialic acid-containing cellular receptor and subsequently fusing with the plasma membrane of the cells. Hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, which is responsible for virus attachment, interacts with the fusion protein in a virus type-specific manner to induce efficient membrane fusion. To elucidate the mechanism of HN-promoted membrane fusion, we characterized a series of Newcastle disease virus HN proteins whose surface residues were mutated. Fusion promotion activity was substantially altered in only the HN proteins with a mutation in the first or sixth β sheet. These regions overlap the large hydrophobic surface of HN; thus, the hydrophobic surface may contain the fusion promotion domain. Furthermore, a comparison of the HN structure crystallized alone or in complex with 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid revealed substantial conformational changes in several loops within or near the hydrophobic surface. Our results suggest that the binding of HN protein to the receptor induces the conformational change of residues near the hydrophobic surface of HN protein and that this change triggers the activation of the F protein, which initiates membrane fusion.

In all cellular systems studied so far, the catalytic alpha- and the glycosylated beta-subunit of Na+-K+-ATPase are coordinately synthesized and are assembled into stoichiometric alpha, beta-complexes. In contrast to these data, in this study we show that the fully grown oocyte of Xenopus laevis synthesizes much less beta-subunit than alpha-subunit. The alpha-subunit produced in excess over the beta-subunit is membrane associated but highly trypsin sensitive and can be compared with the immature alpha-subunit population identified in epithelial cells immediately after synthesis (K. Geering, J. P. Kraehenbuhl, and B.C. Rossier, J. Cell Biol. 105: 2613-2619, 1987). The Xenopus oocyte thus turns out to be a unique system to study the functional role of the beta-subunit. Injection of beta-subunit-specific mRNA transcribed in vitro from a beta-cDNA clone (derived from Xenopus kidney, A6 cells) into oocytes results in translation of a glycosylated beta-subunit. The synthesis of this exogenous beta-subunit increases significantly the proportion of trypsin-resistant oocyte alpha-subunits able to perform cation-dependent conformational changes. In addition, 25-65% more ouabian binding sites are expressed at the plasma membrane in beta-mRNA-injected oocytes. In contrast, newly synthesized alpha-subunit translated after injection of size-fractionated mRNA enriched in alpha-mRNA remains trypsin sensitive as the oocyte alpha-subunit. These data suggest that association of the beta-subunit to the alpha-subunit provokes a structural rearrangement of the alpha-subunit that might be a first step toward the functional maturation of the Na+-K+-ATPase and its expression at the plasma membrane.
