Abstract
The large variation of influenza A viruses (IAVs) in various susceptible hosts and their rapid evolution, which allows host/tissue switching, host immune escape, vaccine escape, and drug resistance, are difficult challenges for influenza control in all countries worldwide. Access and binding of the IAV to actual receptors at endocytic sites is critical for the establishment of influenza infection. In this chapter, the progress in identification of and roles of glycans and non-glycans on the epithelium and in the immune system in H1-H18 IAV infections are reviewed. The first part of the review is on current knowledge of H1-H16 IAV receptors on the epithelium including sialyl glycans, other negatively charged glycans, and annexins. The second part of the review focuses on H1-H16 IAV receptors in the immune system including acidic surfactant phospholipids, Sia on surfactant proteins, the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of surfactant proteins, Sia on mucins, Sia and C-type lectins on macrophages and dendritic cells, and Sia on NK cells. The third part of the review is about a possible H17-H18 IAV receptor. Binding of these receptors to IAVs may result in inhibition or enhancement of IAV infection depending on their location, host cell type, and IAV strain. Among these receptors, host sialyl glycans are key determinants of viral hemagglutinin (HA) lectins for H1-H16 infections. HA must acquire mutations to bind to sialyl glycans that are dominant on a new target tissue when switching to a new host for efficient transmission and to bind to long sialyl glycans found in the case of seasonal HAs with multiple glycosylation sites as a consequence of immune evasion. Although sialyl receptors/C-type lectins on immune cells are decoy receptors/pathogen recognition receptors for capturing viral HA lectin/glycans protecting HA antigenic sites, some IAV strains do not escape, such as by release with neuraminidase, but hijack these molecules to gain entry and replication in immune cells. An understanding of the virus-host battle tactics at the receptor level might lead to the establishment of novel strategies for effective control of influenza.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) is a highly O-glycosylated glycoprotein that is utilized as a specific lymphatic endothelial marker under pathophysiological conditions. We previously developed an anti-human PDPN (hPDPN) monoclonal antibody (mAb), clone LpMab-3, which recognizes the epitope, including both the peptides and the attached disialy-core-l (NeuAcα2-3Galβl-3 [NeuAcα2-6]GalNAcαl-O-Thr) structure at the Thr76 residue in hPDPN. However, it is unclear if the mAb binds directly to both the peptides and glycans. In this study, we synthesized the binding epitope region of LpMab-3 that includes the peptide (-67LVATSVNSV-T-GIRIEDLP84-) possessing a disialyl-core-1 O-glycan at Thr76, and we determined the crystal structure of the LpMab-3 Fab fragment that was bound to the synthesized glycopeptide at a 2.8 Å resolution. The six amino acid residues and two sialic acid residues are directly associated with four complementarity-determining regions (CDRs; H1, H2, H3, and L3) and four CDRs (H2, H3, L1, and L3), respectively. These results suggest that IgG is advantageous for generating binders against spacious epitopes such as glycoconjugates.

Abstract
The first bacterial α2-6-sialyltransferase cloned from Photobacterium damselae (Pd2,6ST) has been widely applied for the synthesis of various α2-6-linked sialosides. However, the extreme substrate flexibility of Pd2,6ST makes it unsuitable for site-specific α2-6-sialylation of complex substrates containing multiple galactose and/or N-acetylgalactosamine units. To tackle this problem, a general redox-controlled site-specific sialylation strategy using Pd2,6ST is described. This approach features site-specific enzymatic oxidation of galactose units to mask the unwanted sialylation sites and precisely controlling the site-specific α2-6-sialylation at intact galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine units.

Abstract
Influenza viruses are a group of respiratory pathogens that have evolved into four different types: A, B, C, and D. A common feature is that all four types are capable of replicating and transmitting among pigs. Here, we describe the development of isogenous cell culture system from the swine respiratory tract to study influenza viruses. Phenotypic characterization of swine primary nasal turbinate, trachea and lung cells revealed high expression of cytokeratin and demonstrated tissue site dependent expression of tight junction proteins. Furthermore, lectin binding assay on these cells demonstrated higher levels of Sia2-6Gal than Sia2-3Gal receptors and supported the replication of influenza A, B, C, and D viruses to appreciable levels at both 33 and 37 °C, but replication competence was dependent on virus type or temperature used. Overall, these swine primary respiratory cells showed epithelial phenotype, which is suitable for studying the comparative biology and pathobiology of influenza viruses.

Abstract
With the development of single-particle tracking (SPT) microscopy and host membrane mimics called supported lipid bilayers (SLBs), stochastic virus-membrane binding interactions can be studied in depth while maintaining control over host receptor type and concentration. However, several experimental design challenges and quantitative image analysis limitations prevent the widespread use of this approach. One main challenge of SPT studies is the low signal-to-noise ratio of SPT videos, which is sometimes inevitable due to small particle sizes, low quantum yield of fluorescent dyes, and photobleaching. These situations could render current particle tracking software to yield biased binding kinetic data caused by intermittent tracking error. Hence, we developed an effective image restoration algorithm for SPT applications called STAWASP that reveals particles with a signal-to-noise ratio of 2.2 while preserving particle features. We tested our improvements to the SPT binding assay experiment and imaging procedures by monitoring X31 influenza virus binding to α2,3 sialic acid glycolipids. Our interests lie in how slight changes to the peripheral oligosaccharide structures can affect the binding rate and residence times of viruses. We were able to detect viruses binding weakly to a glycolipid called GM3, which was undetected via assays such as surface plasmon resonance. The binding rate was around 28 folds higher when the virus bound to a different glycolipid called GD1a, which has a sialic acid group extending further away from the bilayer surface than GM3. The improved imaging allowed us to obtain binding residence time distributions that reflect an adhesion-strengthening mechanism via multivalent bonds. We empirically fitted these distributions using a time-dependent unbinding rate parameter, koff, which diverges from standard treatment of koff as a constant. We further explain how to convert these models to fit ensemble-averaged binding data obtained by assays such as surface plasmon resonance.

Abstract
The correlation between precise interactions of influenza A virus hemagglutinins with host cell surface glycans having terminal sialic acids and host range specificity has provoked the development of a high-throughput viral-receptor specificity assay. Here, we describe the use of the virus itself as a specific antibody coupled to enzymes (virus with neuraminidase spikes) for determining its binding specificity to glycans, a strategy that reduces not only the cost but also the tedious steps of adding primary and secondary antibodies and washing between each step. All of the steps, including coating the glycopolymers onto microtiter plates, virus binding, and visual and quantitative detection of fluorescence products that correlate well with the amount of glycan-bound viruses, can be done within 3 h. This simple, rapid, sensitive, and reliable strategy is an ideal method for detection of high-throughput influenza virus receptor-binding preference not only for studies on viral evolution and transmission but also for viral surveillance in pandemic preparedness, leading to efficient prevention and control of the disease.

Abstract
Influenza A and B viruses are highly contagious respiratory pathogens with a considerable medical and socioeconomical burden and known pandemic potential. Current influenza vaccines require annual updating and provide only partial protection in some risk groups. Due to the global spread of viruses with resistance to the M2 proton channel inhibitor amantadine or the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir, novel antiviral agents with an original mode of action are urgently needed. We here focus on emerging options to interfere with the influenza virus entry process, which consists of the following steps: attachment of the viral hemagglutinin to the sialylated host cell receptors, endocytosis, M2-mediated uncoating, low pH-induced membrane fusion, and, finally, import of the viral ribonucleoprotein into the nucleus. We review the current functional and structural insights in the viral and cellular components of this entry process, and the diverse antiviral strategies that are being explored. This encompasses small molecule inhibitors as well as macromolecules such as therapeutic antibodies. There is optimism that at least some of these innovative concepts to block influenza virus entry will proceed from the proof of concept to a more advanced stage. Special attention is therefore given to the challenging issues of influenza virus (sub)type-dependent activity or potential drug resistance.

Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) recognizes two types of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) by galactose (Gal) linkages, Neu5Acα2,3Gal and Neu5Acα2,6Gal. Avian IAV preferentially binds to Neu5Acα2,3Gal linkage, while human IAV preferentially binds to Neu5Acα2,6Gal linkage, as a virus receptor. Shift in receptor binding specificity of avian IAV from Neu5Acα2,3Gal linkage to Neu5Acα2,6Gal linkage is generally believed to be a critical factor for its transmission ability among humans. Surveillance of this shift of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian IAV (HPAI) is thought to be a very important for prediction and prevention of a catastrophic pandemic of HPAI among humans. In this study, we demonstrated that receptor binding specificity of IAV bound to sialo-glycoconjugates was sensitively detected by quantifying the HA gene with real-time reverse-transcription-PCR. The new assay enabled direct detection of receptor binding specificity of HPAIs in chicken clinical samples including trachea and cloaca swabs in only less than 4 h.

Abstract
Human milk contains complex carbohydrates that are important dietary factors with multiple functions during early life. Several aspects of these glycostructures are human specific; some aspects vary between lactating women, and some change during the course of lactation. This review outlines how variability of complex glycostructures present in human milk is linked to changing infants' needs.

Abstract
Association of a sulfated galactosyl ceramide, sulfatide, with the viral envelope glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA) delivered to the cell surface is required for influenza A virus (IAV) replication through efficient translocation of the newly synthesized viral nucleoprotein from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. To determine whether the ectodomain of HA can bind to sulfatide, a secreted-type HA (sHA), in which the transmembrane region and cytoplasmic tail were deleted, was generated by using a baculovirus expression system. The receptor binding ability and antigenic structure of sHA were evaluated by a hemagglutination assay, solid-phase binding assay and hemagglutination inhibition assay. sHA showed subtype-specific antigenicity and binding ability to both sulfatide and gangliosides. Kinetics of sHA binding to sulfatide and GD1a was demonstrated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) analysis. QCM analysis showed that the sHA bound with the association rate constant (k on) of 1.41 × 10(4) M(-1) sec(-1), dissociation rate constant (k off) of 2.03 × 10(-4) sec(-1) and K d of 1.44 × 10(-8) M to sulfatide immobilized on a sensor chip. The k off values of sHA were similar for sulfatide and GD1a, whereas the k on value of sHA binding to sulfatide was 2.56-times lower than that of sHA binding to GD1a. The results indicate that sulfatide directly binds to the ectodomain of HA with high affinity.

Abstract
On the basis of the results outlined in our previous report, bacterial sialyltransferases (ST) from marine sources were further characterized using glycosphingolipids (GSL), especially ganglio-series GSLs, based on the enzymatic characteristics and kinetic parameters obtained by Line weaver-Burk plots. Among them, GA1 and GA2 were found to be good substrates for these unique STs. Thus, new gangliosides synthesized by α2-3 and α2-6STs were structurally characterized by several analytical procedures. The ganglioside generated by the catalytic activity of α2-3ST was identified as GM1b. On the other hand, when enzyme reactions by α2-6STs were performed using substrates GA2 and GA1, very unique gangliosides were generated. The structures were identified as NeuAcα2-6GalNAcβ1-4Galβ1-4Glcβ-Cer and NeuAcα2-6Galβ1-3GalNAcβ1-4Galβ1-4Glcβ-Cer, respectively. The synthesized ganglioside NeuAcα2-6GalNAcβ1-4Galβ1-4Glcβ-Cer showed binding activity to the influenza A virus {A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2)} at a similar level to purified sialyl(α2-3)paragloboside (S2-3PG) and sialyl(α2-6)paragloboside (S2-6PG) from mammalian sources. The evidence suggests that these STs have unique features, including substrate specificities restricted not only to lacto-series but also to ganglio-series GSLs, as well as catalytic potentials for ganglioside synthesis. This evidence demonstrates that effective in vitro ganglioside synthesis could be a valuable tool for selectively synthesizing sialic acid (Sia) modifications, thereby preparing large-scale gangliosides and permitting the exploration of unknown functions.

Abstract
The total synthesis of ganglioside 2, an analogue of the ganglioside Hp-s1 (1) which displays neuritogenic activity toward the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC-12 cell in the presence of nerve growth factor (NGF) with an effect (34.0%) greater than that of the mammalian ganglioside GM 1 (25.4%), was accomplished by applying a chemoselective-activation glycosylation strategy. Moreover, we also demonstrate that the synthesized ganglioside 2 exhibited neuritogenic activity toward the human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y without the presence of NGF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the anti-influenza virus activity of tricin, 4',5,7-trihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyflavone, against five viruses: A/Solomon islands/3/2006 (H1N1), A/Hiroshima/52/2005 (H3N2), A/California/07/2009 (H1N1pdm), A/Narita/1/2009 (H1N1pdm) and B/Malaysia/2506/2004 strains in vitro and against A/PR/8/34 virus in vivo. METHODS The effect of tricin was studied by an infectious virus yield reduction assay. The anti-influenza virus mechanism of the tricin was examined by western blot analysis, real-time reverse transcriptase PCR analysis, haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay and neuraminidase (NA) inhibition assay. The anti-influenza virus efficacy of tricin was further examined in a murine influenza virus infection model. RESULTS Tricin of 3.3 to 30 μM significantly reduced seasonal A (H1N1), (H3N2) viruses, novel A (H1N1pdm) virus, as well as B virus in a dose-dependent manner. The 50% effective concentrations of tricin were 3.4 μM for seasonal A (H3N2) virus, 4.9 μM for B virus and 8.2 μM for A/Narita (H1N1pdm) virus. Tricin decreased the expression of haemagglutinin (HA) protein and matrix (M) protein, and messenger RNA expression of HA and M of influenza virus in the infected cells. Tricin exhibited little or no effects on influenza virus HI and NA activities. In the mouse infection model, tricin was significantly effective in reducing body weight loss, and also effective in prolonging survival times of infected mice. CONCLUSIONS Tricin was indicated to possess anti-influenza virus activity and to ameliorate body weight loss and survival rate of influenza-A-virus-infected mice. Tricin is a novel compound with potential anti-influenza virus activity in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum and colon of three male hybrid piglets, 4 weeks old just after weaning, were investigated for the immunohistochemical localization of the asialoganglioside, GM1 (asialo-GM1). The study revealed various degrees of labelling for this acid glycosphingolipid in neural, epithelial and blood elements in all the gut segments. The immunolabelled neural structures, represented by ganglionic perikarya and nerve fibers, were distributed throughout the intestinal wall and showed quantitative variations in the various regions. In contrast the numerical evaluation of labelled epithelial cells was encountered only in the terminal jejunum and along the entire ileum, cecum and large intestine. In addition, a heterogeneous population of immunolabelled leukocytes was spread randomly in the lamina propria and submucosa of the entire intestine and did not show any apparent quantitative fluctuations between the different parts. The observations regarding the typical distribution patterns of the asialoganglioside GM1 in ganglionic perikarya and epithelial cells of weaned piglets are discussed in relation to their possible functional significance in the intestine and other mammalian organs.

Abstract
Outbreaks of highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza A virus represent a major public health problem because of the possibility of direct transmission of these viruses from avian species to humans. For influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin, a switch from SA-a-2, 3-Gal to SA-a-2, 6-Gal receptor specificity is a critical step that could lead to inter-human transmission. The monitoring of the receptor-binding preference of H5N1 viruses represents an instrument to detect a potential pandemic virus. The aim of this study was to develop a method based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology and melting peaks analysis for rapid screening of pandemic H5N1 influenza A virus. Three selected probes corresponding to a 23bp nucleotide sequence of the avian receptor-binding site were used in a real-time RT-PCR to detect nucleotide variations. Five strains of avian influenza A viruses isolated from avian species and two synthesized HA gene were tested. The results showed that the melting peaks analysis is a reliable screening method for detecting the variability of the H5N1 receptor-binding site.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of sialyllactosamine (SiaLacNAc) clusters using carbosilanes as core scaffolds has been accomplished by means of chemical and enzymatic approaches. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) clusters having O-glycosidic linkage or S-glycosidic linkage were chemically synthesized from known intermediates in high yields. The GlcNAc clusters were first used as substrates for beta1,4 galactosyl transferase using UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) as a sugar source to provide corresponding N-acetyllactosamine clusters. Further sugar elongation of the LacNAc clusters was demonstrated using alpha2,3 sialyl transferase and CMP-neuraminic acid (CMP-NANA) to yield the corresponding SiaLacNAc clusters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The cell surface receptor used by an influenza virus to infect that cell is an N-acetyl neuraminic acid (NANA) residue terminally linked by an alpha2,3 or alpha2,6 bond to a carbohydrate moiety of a glycoprotein or glycolipid. Our aim was to determine a quick and technically simple method to determine cell receptor usage by whole influenza A virus particles. METHODS We employed surface plasmon resonance to detect the binding of viruses to fetuin, a naturally occurring glycoprotein that has both alpha2,3- and alpha2,6-linked NANA, and free 3'-sialyllactose or 6'-sialyllactose to compete virus binding. All virus stocks were produced in embryonated chicken's eggs. RESULTS The influenza viruses tested bound preferentially to NANAalpha2,3Gal or to NANAalpha2,6Gal, or showed no preference. Two PR8 viruses had different binding preferences. Binding preferences of viruses correlated well with their known biological properties. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that it is not easy to predict receptor usage by influenza viruses. However, direct experimental determination as described here can inform experiments concerned with viral pathogenesis, biology and structure. In principle, the methodology can be used for any virus that binds to a terminal NANA residue.

Abstract
Bacterial sialyltransferases (STs) from marine sources were characterized using glycosphingolipids (GSLs). Bacterial STs were found to be beta-galacotoside STs. There were two types of STs: (1) ST obtained from strains such as ishi-224, 05JTC1 (#1), ishi-467, 05JTD2 (#2), and faj-16, 05JTE1 (#3), which form alpha2-3 sialic acid (Sia) linkages, named alpha2-3ST, (2) ST obtained from strains such as ISH-224, N1C0 (#4), pda-rec, 05JTB2 (#5), and pda-0160, 05JTA2 (#6), which form alpha2-6 Sia linkages, named alpha2-6ST. All STs showed affinity to neolacto- and lacto-series GSLs, particularly in neolactotetraosyl ceramide (nLc(4)Cer). No large differences were observed in the pH and temperature profiles of enzyme activities. Kinetic parameters obtained by Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis showed that #3 and #4 STs had practical synthetic activity and thus it became easily possible to achieve large-scale ganglioside synthesis (100-300 muM) using these recombinant enzymes. Gangliosides synthesized from nLc(4)Cer by alpha2-3 and alpha2-6STs were structurally characterized by several analytical and immunological methods, and they were identified as IV(3)alphaNeuAc-nLc(4)Cer(S2-3PG) and IV(6)alphaNeuAc-nLc(4)Cer (S2-6PG), respectively. Further characterization of these STs using lactotetraosylceramide (Lc(4)Cer), neolactohexaosylceramide (i antigen), and IV(6)kladoLc(8)Cer (I antigen) showed the synthesis of corresponding gangliosides as well. Synthesized gangliosides showed binding activity to the influenza A virus [A/panama/2007/99 (H3N2)] at a similar level to purified S2-3PG and S2-6PG from mammalian sources. The above evidence suggests that these STs have unique features, including substrate specificities restricted to lacto- and neolactoseries GSLs, as well as catalytic potentials for ganglioside synthesis. This demonstrates that efficient in vitro ganglioside synthesis could be a valuable tool for selectively synthesizing Sias modifications, thereby permitting the exploration of unknown functions.

Abstract
Selection of high-growth virus variants of strain B/Victoria/504/2000 by serial passage in eggs resulted in three amino acid substitutions, G141E, R162M, and D196Y, in the vicinity of the receptor-binding pocket of viral hemagglutinin. Virus variants containing the identified amino acid substitutions, individually or in various combinations, were constructed using reverse genetics and analyzed for their receptor-binding properties using glycan microarray platform. Three different patterns of virus binding were revealed. A low-growth virus variant, corresponding to the original egg-derived virus B/Victoria/504/2000 prior to acquisition of amino acid changes G141E, R162M, and D196Y, had a clear preference for the oligosaccharide chains terminated with alpha2-6-linked sialic acid with very weak binding of the glycans terminated with alpha2-3-linked sialic acid. Amino acid substitutions R162M and D196Y had similar effects, resulting in viruses that bound with high efficiency almost all terminally sialylated glycans represented on the array regardless of the type of glycosidic linkage. In contrast, substitution of G141E alone, or in combinations with the other two amino acid substitutions, significantly restricted virus glycan-binding capabilities. All virus variants possessing this substitution lost the ability to bind glycans with alpha2-6 glycosidic linkage as well as most of the glycans with alpha2-3 glycosidic linkage. Linear penta- and heptasaccharide chains represented at the non-reducing end by alpha2-3 sialylated Type-II motif (LacNAc) were the only structures bound with high affinity by the virus variants with G141E substitution. In all cases when the effects on virus binding of individual amino acid substitutions differed, the effect of R162M was subordinate to the effect of either G141E or D196Y.

Abstract
Influenza virus hemagglutinin recognizes sialyloligosaccharides of glycoproteins and glycolipids as cell surface receptors in the initial stage of the infection process. We demonstrate that pentadecapeptides that bind to a sialylgalactose structure (Neu5Ac-Gal) inhibited the infection of cells by influenza virus. The pentadecapeptides were identified through affinity selection from a phage-displayed random peptide library using a monolayer of the ganglioside Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-4Glcbeta1-1'Cer (GM3). The peptides were found to have affinity for GM3, and alanine scanning showed seven amino acid residues that contribute to carbohydrate recognition. The binding of peptides to the cell surface was significantly inhibited in the presence of sialic acid or by the digestion of cell surface sialyl residues by neuraminidase. Plaque assays indicated that a molecular assembly of alkylated peptides inhibited the infection of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells by influenza virus. Carbohydrate-binding peptides that inhibit carbohydrate-virus interaction showed inhibitory activity. These results may lead to a new approach to the design of antiviral drugs.

Abstract
Surface properties (Langmuir monolayer) of two different cerebrosides which are extracted from the sea cucumber (Bohadschia argus) were investigated. A main difference in chemical structure of cerebroside between BAC-2a and BAC-4 is their head groups (glucose and galactose, respectively). Furthermore, miscibility and interaction between dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cerebrosides (BAC-2a and BAC-4) in the monolayer have been systematically examined. The surface pressure (pi)-area (A), the surface potential (Delta V)-A, and the dipole moment (mu(perpendicular))-A isotherms for monolayers of DPPC, cerebrosides, and their binary combinations have been measured using the Wilhelmy method and the ionizing electrode method. BAC-4 forms a stable liquid-expanded (LE) monolayer, whereas BAC-2a has a first-order phase transition from the LE phase to the liquid-condensed (LC) state on 0.15 M NaCl at 298.2 K. The fundamental properties for each cerebroside monolayer were elucidated in terms of the surface dipole moment based on the three-layer model [R.J. Demchak, T. Fort Jr., J. Colloid Interface Sci. 46 (1974) 191-202] for both cerebrosides and the apparent molar quantity change (Delta s(gamma), Delta h(gamma), and Delta u(gamma)) for BAC-2a. In addition, their miscibility with DPPC was examined by the variation of the molecular areas and the surface potentials as a function of cerebroside mole fractions, the additivity rule. The miscibility was also confirmed by constructing the two-dimensional phase diagrams. The phase diagrams for the both binary systems were of negative azeotropic type. That is, the two-component DPPC/BAC-2a and DPPC/BAC-4 monolayers are miscible. Furthermore, the Joos equation for the analysis of the collapse pressure of binary monolayers allowed calculation of the interaction parameter and the interaction energy between the DPPC and cerebroside monolayers. The miscibility in the monolayer state was also confirmed by the morphological observation with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), fluorescence microscopy (FM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells depend on external surface markers, such as gangliosides, to recognize and bind various other molecules as part of normal growth and maturation. The localization of gangliosides in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, also make them targets for pathogens trying to invade the host cells. Since ganglioside-mediated interactions are critical to both beneficial and pathological processes, much effort has been directed at determining the 3D structures of their carbohydrate head groups; however, technical difficulties have generally prevented the characterization of the head group in intact membrane-bound gangliosides. Determining the 3D structure and presentation of gangliosides at the surface of membranes is important in understanding how cells interact with their local environment. Here, we employ all-atom explicit solvent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, using the GLYCAM06 force field, to model the conformation and dynamics of ganglioside G(M3) (alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-3)-beta-Gal-(1-4)-beta-Glc-ceramide) in a DMPC lipid bilayer. By comparison with MD simulations of the carbohydrate head-group fragment of G(M3) alone, it was possible to quantify and characterize the extent of changes in head-group presentation and dynamics associated with membrane anchoring. The accuracy of data from the MD simulations was determined by comparison to NMR and crystallographic data for the head group in solution and for G(M3) in membrane-mimicking environments. The experimentally consistent model of G(M3), in a lipid bilayer, was then used to model the recognition of G(M3) at the cell surface by known protein receptors.

Abstract
The initial step essential in influenza virus infection is specific binding of viral hemagglutinin to host cell-surface glycan receptors. Influenza A virus specificity for the host is mediated by viral envelope hemagglutinin, that binds to receptors containing glycans with terminal sialic acids. Human viruses preferentially bind to alpha2-->6 linked sialic acids on receptors of host cells, whereas avian viruses are specific for the alpha2-->3 linkage on the target cells. Human influenza virus isolates more efficiently infect amniotic membrane (AM) cells than chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) cells. N-glycans were isolated from AM and CAM cells of 10-day-old chicken embryonated eggs and their structures were analyzed by multi-dimensional HPLC mapping and MALDI-TOF-MS techniques. Terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid contents in the two cell types were similar. However, molar percents of alpha2-->3 linkage preferentially bound by avian influenza virus were 27.2 in CAM cells and 15.4 in AM cells, whereas those of alpha2-->6 linkage favored by human influenza virus were 8.3 (CAM) and 14.2 (AM). Molar percents of sulfated glycans, recognized by human influenza virus, in CAM and AM cells were 3.8 and 12.7, respectively. These results have revealed structures and molar percents of N-glycans in CAM and AM cells important in determining human and avian influenza virus infection and viral adaptation.

Abstract
In vitro effects of macrolide clarithromycin (CAM) on influenza A virus-infected cells were examined using plaque reduction assay by treating cells either before or after viral adsorption. The significant inhibitory effect on influenza virus infection was detected only when the cells were treated with CAM after viral adsorption. The predominant inhibitory effect was observed during 4-7th hour after viral adsorption using viral production assay. CAM did not exhibit inhibitory effects on influenza virus hemagglutination, membrane fusion and viral sialidase activities. These findings indicate that CAM acts on a middle to late stage of the viral replication cycle resulting in inhibition of progeny virus production from the infected cells.

Abstract
Receptor-binding specificity of HA, the major surface glycoprotein of influenza virus, primarily determines the host ranges that the virus can infect. Influenza type B virus almost exclusively infects humans and contributes to the annual "flu" sickness. Here we report the structures of influenza B virus HA in complex with human and avian receptor analogs, respectively. These structures provide a structural basis for the different receptor-binding properties of influenza A and B virus HA molecules and for the ability of influenza B virus HA to distinguish human and avian receptors. The structure of influenza B virus HA with avian receptor analog also reveals how mutations in the region of residues 194 to 196, which are frequently observed in egg-adapted and naturally occurring variants, directly affect the receptor binding of the resultant virus strains. Furthermore, these structures of influenza B virus HA are compared with known structures of influenza A virus HAs, which suggests the role of the residue at 222 as a key and likely a universal determinant for the different binding modes of human receptor analogs by different HA molecules.

Abstract
Background Human influenza viruses are known to bind to sialic acid linked α2-6 to galactose, but the binding specificity beyond that linkage has not been systematically examined. H3N2 human influenza isolates lost binding to chicken red cells in the 1990s but viruses isolated since 2003 have re-acquired the ability to agglutinate chicken erythrocytes. We have investigated specificity of binding, changes in hemagglutinin sequence of the recent viruses and the role of sialic acid in productive infection. Results Viruses that agglutinate, or do not agglutinate, chicken red cells show identical binding to a Glycan Array of 264 oligosaccharides, binding exclusively to a subset of α2-6-sialylsaccharides. We identified an amino acid change in hemagglutinin that seemed to correlate with chicken red cell binding but when tested by mutagenesis there was no effect. Recombinant hemagglutinins expressed on Sf-9 cells bound chicken red cells but the released recombinant baculoviruses agglutinated only human red cells. Similarly, an isolate that does not agglutinate chicken red cells show hemadsorption of chicken red cells to infected MDCK cells. We suggest that binding of chicken red cells to cell surface hemagglutinin but not to virions is due to a more favorable hemagglutinin density on the cell surface. We investigated whether a virus specific for α2-6 sialyloligosaccharides shows differential entry into cells that have varying proportions of α2-6 and α2-3 sialic acids, including human A549 and HeLa cells with high levels of α2-6 sialic acid, and CHO cells that have only α2-3 sialic acid. We found that the virus enters all cell types tested and synthesizes viral nucleoprotein, localized in the nucleus, and hemagglutinin, transported to the cell surface, but infectious progeny viruses were released only from MDCK cells. Conclusion Agglutination of chicken red cells does not correlate with altered binding to any oligosaccharide on the Glycan Array, and may result from increased avidity due to density of hemagglutinin and not increased affinity. Absence of α2-6 sialic acid does not protect a cell from influenza infection and the presence of high levels of α2-6-sialic acids on a cell surface does not guarantee productive replication of a virus with α2-6 receptor specificity.

Abstract
The receptor specificity of influenza viruses is one factor that allows avian influenza viruses to cross the species barrier. The recent transmissions of avian H5N1 and H9N2 influenza viruses from chickens and/or quails to humans indicate that avian influenza viruses can directly infect humans without an intermediate host, such as pigs. In this study, we used two strains of influenza A virus (A/PR/8/34, which preferentially binds to an avian-type receptor, and A/Memphis/1/71, which preferentially binds to a human-type receptor) to probe the receptor specificities in host cells. Epithelial cells of both quail and chicken intestines (colons) could bind both avian- and human-type viruses. Infected cultured quail colon cells expressed viral protein and allowed replication of the virus strain A/PR/8/34 or A/Memphis/1/71. To understand the molecular basis of these phenomena, we further investigated the abundance of sialic acid (Sia) linked to galactose (Gal) by the alpha2-3 linkage (Siaalpha2-3Gal) and Siaalpha2-6Gal in host cells. In glycoprotein and glycolipid fractions from quail and chicken colon epithelial cells, there were some bound components of Sia-Gal linkage-specific lectins, Maackia amurensis agglutinin (specific for Siaalpha2-3 Gal) and Sambucus nigra agglutinin (specific for Siaalpha2-6Gal), indicating that both Siaalpha2-3Gal and Siaalpha2-6Gal exist in quail and chicken colon cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated by fluorescence high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis that 5-N-acetylneuraminic acid was the main molecular species of Sia, and we demonstrated by multi-dimensional HPLC mapping and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis that bi-antennary complex-type glycans alpha2-6 sialylated at the terminal Gal residue(s) are major (more than 79%) sialyl N-glycans expressed by intestinal epithelial tissues in both the chicken and quail. Taken together, these results indicate that quails and chickens have molecular characterization as potential intermediate hosts for avian influenza virus transmission to humans and could generate new influenza viruses with pandemic potential.

Abstract
We reported previously that the dominant receptors of influenza A and B viruses, and human and murine respiroviruses, were sialylglycoproteins and gangliosides containing monosialo-lactosamine type I-and II-residues, such as sialic acid-alpha2-3(6)-Galbeta1-3(4)-GlcNAcbeta1-. In addition, the Siaalpha2-3Gal linkage was predominantly recognized by avian and horse influenza viruses, and human parainfluenza virus type 1 (hPIV-1), whereas the Siaalpha2-6Gal linkage was mainly recognized by human influenza viruses (Paulson JC in "The Receptors'' [Conn M Ed] 2, 131-219 (1985); Suzuki Y, Prog Lipid Res 33, 429-57 (1994); Ito T, J Virol 73, 6743-51 (2000); Suzuki Y, J Virol 74, 11825-31 (2000); Suzuki T, J. Virol 75, 4604-4613 (2001); Suzuki Y, Biol. Pharm. Bull. 28, 399-408 (2005)). To clarify the distribution of influenza virus receptors on the human bronchial epithelium cell surface, we investigated a primary culture of normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells using two types of lectin (MAA and SNA), which recognize sialyl linkages (alpha2-3 and alpha2-6), using fluorescence-activated cell-sorting analysis. The results showed that both alpha2-3- and alpha2-6-linked Sias were expressed on the surface of primary human bronchial epithelial cells. The cells infected by hPIV-1 bound to MAA, confirming that cells targeted by hPIV-1 have alpha2-3-linked oligosaccharides. We also compared the ability of hPIV-1 and human influenza A virus to infect primary human bronchial epithelial cells pre-treated with Siaalpha2-3Gal-specific sialidase from Salmonella typhimurium. No difference was observed in the number of sialidase pre-treated and non-treated cells infected with human influenza A virus, which binds to Siaalpha2-6Gal-linked oligosaccharides. By contrast, the number of cells infected with hPIV-1 decreased significantly upon sialidase treatment. Thus, cultured NHBE cells showed both alpha2-3-linked Sias recognized by hPIV-1 and avian influenza virus receptors, and alpha2-6-linked Sias recognized by human influenza virus receptors.

Abstract
To investigate involvement of cellular glycosphingolipids in the propagation of influenza viruses in host cells, MDCK cells were treated with inhibitors for sphingolipid biosynthesis, fumonisin B1 and d,l-threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol. Continuous treatment of the cells with either inhibitor during pre- and post viral inoculation, but not the pretreatment alone, significantly reduced viral infection, but not viral attachment to the cells. Immunocytochemical analysis demonstrated that cellular distribution of hemagglutinin, a viral glycoprotein, was drastically altered when the cells were continuously treated with the inhibitors during pre- and post viral inoculation, but not the pretreatment alone. Our findings strongly suggest that cellular sphingolipids play important roles in the events after viral adsorption to the host cells.

Abstract
The surface pressure (pi)-area (A), the surface potential (DeltaV)-A, and the dipole moment (mu( perpendicular))-A isotherms were obtained for monolayers made from a ganglioside originated from echinoderms [Diadema setosum ganglioside (DSG-1)], dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE), cholesterol (Ch), and their combinations. Monolayers spread on several different substrates were investigated at the air/water interface by the Wilhelmy method, ionizing electrode method, fluorescence microscopy (FM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Surface potentials (DeltaV) of pure components were analyzed using the three-layer model proposed by Demchak and Fort [R.J. Demchak, T. Fort, J. Colloid Interface Sci. 46 (1974) 191-202]. The new finding was that DSG-1 was stable and showed a liquid-expanded film and that its monolayer behavior of DeltaV was sensitive for the change of the NaCl concentration in the subphase. Moreover, the miscibility of DSG-1 and three major lipids in the two-component monolayers was examined by plotting the variation of the molecular area and the surface potential as a function of the DSG-1 molar fraction (X(DSG-1)), using the additivity rule. From the A-X(DSG-1) and DeltaV(m)-X(DSG-1) plots, partial molecular surface area (PMA) and apparent partial molecular surface potential (APSP) were determined at the discrete surface pressure. The PMA and APSP with the mole fraction were extensively discussed for the miscible system. The miscibility was also investigated from the two-dimensional phase diagrams. Furthermore, a regular surface mixture, for which the Joos equation was used for the analysis of the collapse pressure of two-component monolayers, allowed calculation of the interaction parameter (xi) and the interaction energy (-Deltavarepsilon) between them. The observations using fluorescence microscopy and AFM image also provide us the miscibility in the monolayer state.

Abstract
The anti-viral activity of gangliosides such as SPG (sialylparagloboside), GD1a, GM3, and GM4 was assessed by inhibition of the cytopathy of MDCK cells due to infection with the influenza virus A/PR/8/34. The inhibitory effect was in the following sequence: SPG>GD1a>GM3>GM4. The IC50 of SPG and GD1a was 7 and 70 microM, respectively, indicating that they are more effective than the representative inhibitor amantadine. Although 3'-sialyllactose (3'-SL) and 3'-sialyllactosamine (3'-SLN), which are identical to the terminal trisaccharides of GM3 and SPG, respectively, did not show any inhibitory effect, introduction of an amino group to the reducing end of 3'-SL following amidation with lauroyl chloride gave the inhibitory potency, which was comparable to that of GM3. These results suggest that the viral hemagglutinin recognizes exogenous sialyloligosaccharides rather than inherent sialyloligosaccharides expressed on MDCK cells, since introduction of the hydrophobic moiety to oligosaccharides might cause micelle formation.

Abstract
Edible bird's nest (EBN) is the nest of the swift that is made from its saliva. Although EBN has been widely used for enhancing immunocompetence, its antiviral efficacy has not been studied in detail. We found that EBN extract could strongly inhibit infection with influenza viruses in a host range-independent manner when it was hydrolyzed with Pancreatin F. Western blotting assay showed that the EBN extract bound to influenza virus. Furthermore, EBN extract could neutralize the infection of MDCK cells with influenza viruses and inhibit hemagglutination of influenza viruses to erythrocytes, but it could not inhibit the activity of influenza virus sialidase. Fluorometric HPLC indicated that the major molecular species of sialic acid in EBN is N-acetylneuraminic acid. The results suggest that EBN is a safe and valid natural source for the prevention of influenza viruses.

Abstract
The interaction between cell surface receptors and the envelope glycoprotein (EGP) on the viral membrane surface is the initial step of Dengue virus infection. To understand the host range, tissue tropism, and virulence of this pathogen, it is critical to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the interaction of EGP with receptor molecules. Here, using a TLC/virus-binding assay, we isolated and characterized a carbohydrate molecule on mammalian cell surfaces that is recognized by dengue virus type 2 (DEN2). Structural determination by immunochemical methods showed that the carbohydrate structure of the purified glycosphingolipid was neolactotetraosylceramide (nLc4Cer). This glycosphingolipid was expressed on the cell surface of susceptible cells, such as human erythroleukemia K562 and baby hamster kidney BHK-21. All serotypes of DEN viruses, DEN1 to DEN4, reacted with nLc4Cer, and the non-reducing terminal disaccharide residue Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1- was found to be a critical determinant for the binding of DEN2. Chemically synthesized derivatives carrying multiple carbohydrate residues of nLc4, but not nLc4 oligosaccharide, inhibited DEN2 infection of BHK-21 cells. These findings strongly suggested that multivalent nLc4 oligosaccharide could act as a competitive inhibitor against the binding of DEN2 to the host cells.

Abstract
Sialic acid is known to be an essential part of influenza virus receptors, but the specific identity of the receptor molecules on target cells is still not defined. In particular, the relative roles played by cellular sialylglycoproteins and gangliosides in virus entry into target cells remain unclear. To test whether gangliosides are essential for virus infection, we used the GM-95 mutant cell line of mouse B16 melanoma which lacks synthesis of major glycosphingolipids including gangliosides. We found that GM-95 cells grown in serum-containing medium harboured substantial amounts of ganglioside receptors for influenza virus due to incorporation of serum gangliosides. To obtain ganglioside-free cells, we adapted GM-95 cells to growth in defined serum-free (sf) medium. Ganglioside-free GM-95-sf cells could be infected by avian and human influenza A viruses and produced infectious virus progeny demonstrating that gangliosides were neither absolutely necessary for the early nor for the late stages of the infection. However, sensitivity of the GM-95-sf cells to the viruses was 2-4 times lower than that of the ganglioside-containing parent cell line. Further studies are needed to specify whether this effect was due to the lack of gangliosides, neutral glycosphingolipids, or other effects.

Abstract
Plant cells have no beta1,4-galactosylated and sialylated glycan, which plays important roles in biological functions in animal cells. Previously, we generated transgenic tobacco BY2 suspension-cultured cells that produced human beta1,4-galactosyltransferase [N.Q. Palacpac, S. Yoshida, H. Sakai, Y. Kimura, K. Fujiyama, T. Yoshida, T. Seki, Stable expression of human beta1,4-galactosyltransferase in plant cells modifies N-linked glycosylation pattern, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96 (1999) 4692-4697]. In this study, we introduced two critical genes encoding human CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase and CMP-sialic acid transporter into tobacco suspension-cultured cell to pave a route for sialic biosynthetic pathway. The recombinant human proteins showed their biological activities. These results show that the plant cell can be a useful bioreactor for the production of mammalian glycoproteins.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2005; 44:123-42. [PMID: 16051475 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2005.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2005] [Revised: 05/31/2005] [Accepted: 06/18/2005] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
The surface pressure (pi)-area (A), the surface potential (DeltaV)-A and the dipole moment (mu( perpendicular))-A isotherms were obtained for six cerebrosides of LLC-2, LLC-2-1, LLC-2-8, LLC-2-10, LLC-2-12, and LLC-2-15, which were isolated from Linckia laevigata, and two-component monolayers of two different cerebrosides (LLC-2 and LLC-2-8) with phospholipid of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) on a subphase of 0.15 M sodium chloride solution as a function of cerebroside compositions in the two-component systems by employing the Wilhelmy method, the ionizing electrode method, and the fluorescence microscopy. The new finding was that LLC-2 showed a stable and liquid expanded type film. Four of them (LLC-2-8, -10, -12, and -15) had the phase transition from the liquid-expanded (LE) to the liquid-condensed (LC) states at 298.2 K. The apparent molar quantity changes (Deltas(gamma), Deltah(gamma), and Deltau(gamma)) on their phase transition on 0.15M at 298.2 K were calculated. The miscibility of cerebroside and phospholipid in the two-component monolayers was examined by plotting the variation of the molecular area and the surface potential as a function of the cerebroside molar fraction (X(cerebroside)), using the additivity rule. From the A-X(cerebroside) and DeltaV(m)-X(phospholipid) plots, a partial molecular surface area (PMA) and an apparent partial molecular surface potential (APSP) were determined at the discrete surface pressure. The PMA and APSP with the mole fraction were extensively discussed for the miscible systems. Judging from the two-dimensional phase diagrams, these were found to be one type, a positive azeotropic type; all the cerebrosides were miscible with DPPC. Furthermore, assuming a regular surface mixture, the Joos equation for the analysis of the collapse pressure of two-component monolayers allowed calculation of the interaction parameter (xi) and the interaction energy (-Deltavarepsilon) between the cerebrosides and DPPC. The miscibility of cerebroside and phospholipid components in the monolayer state was also supported by fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
The gene pool of influenza A viruses in aquatic birds provides all of the genetic diversity required for human and lower animals. Host range selection of the receptor binding specificity of the influenza virus hemagglutinin occurs during maintenance of the virus in different host cells that express different receptor sialo-sugar chains. In this paper, functional roles of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase spikes of influenza viruses are described in the relation to 1) host range of influenza viruses, 2) receptor binding specificity of human and other animal influenza viruses, 3) recognition of sialyl sugar chains by Spanish influenza virus hemagglutinin, 4) highly pathogenic and potentially pandemic H5N1, H9N2, and H7N7 avian influenza viruses and molecular mechanism of host range variation of influenza viruses, 5) role of the neuraminidase spike for the host range of influenza viruses, and 6) Development of anti-influenza drugs.
