Abstract
Being a major first line of immune defense, the complement system keeps a constant vigil against viruses. Its ability to recognize large panoply of viruses and virus-infected cells, and trigger the effector pathways, results in neutralization of viruses and killing of the infected cells. This selection pressure exerted by complement on viruses has made them evolve a multitude of countermeasures. These include targeting the recognition molecules for the avoidance of detection, targeting key enzymes and complexes of the complement pathways like C3 convertases and C5b-9 formation - either by encoding complement regulators or by recruiting membrane-bound and soluble host complement regulators, cleaving complement proteins by encoding protease, and inhibiting the synthesis of complement proteins. Additionally, viruses also exploit the complement system for their own benefit. For example, they use complement receptors as well as membrane regulators for cellular entry as well as their spread. Here, we provide an overview on the complement subversion mechanisms adopted by the members of various viral families including Poxviridae, Herpesviridae, Adenoviridae, Flaviviridae, Retroviridae, Picornaviridae, Astroviridae, Togaviridae, Orthomyxoviridae and Paramyxoviridae.

Lin LT, Richardson CD. The Host Cell Receptors for Measles Virus and Their Interaction with the Viral Hemagglutinin (H) Protein. Viruses 2016; 8:v8090250. [PMID: 27657109 PMCID: PMC5035964 DOI: 10.3390/v8090250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2016] [Revised: 08/29/2016] [Accepted: 09/02/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The hemagglutinin (H) protein of measles virus (MeV) interacts with a cellular receptor which constitutes the initial stage of infection. Binding of H to this host cell receptor subsequently triggers the F protein to activate fusion between virus and host plasma membranes. The search for MeV receptors began with vaccine/laboratory virus strains and evolved to more relevant receptors used by wild-type MeV. Vaccine or laboratory strains of measles virus have been adapted to grow in common cell lines such as Vero and HeLa cells, and were found to use membrane cofactor protein (CD46) as a receptor. CD46 is a regulator that normally prevents cells from complement-mediated self-destruction, and is found on the surface of all human cells, with the exception of erythrocytes. Mutations in the H protein, which occur during adaptation and allow the virus to use CD46 as a receptor, have been identified. Wild-type isolates of measles virus cannot use the CD46 receptor. However, both vaccine/laboratory and wild-type strains can use an immune cell receptor called signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 1 (SLAMF1; also called CD150) and a recently discovered epithelial receptor known as Nectin-4. SLAMF1 is found on activated B, T, dendritic, and monocyte cells, and is the initial target for infections by measles virus. Nectin-4 is an adherens junction protein found at the basal surfaces of many polarized epithelial cells, including those of the airways. It is also over-expressed on the apical and basal surfaces of many adenocarcinomas, and is a cancer marker for metastasis and tumor survival. Nectin-4 is a secondary exit receptor which allows measles virus to replicate and amplify in the airways, where the virus is expelled from the body in aerosol droplets. The amino acid residues of H protein that are involved in binding to each of the receptors have been identified through X-ray crystallography and site-specific mutagenesis. Recombinant measles “blind” to each of these receptors have been constructed, allowing the virus to selectively infect receptor specific cell lines. Finally, the observations that SLAMF1 is found on lymphomas and that Nectin-4 is expressed on the cell surfaces of many adenocarcinomas highlight the potential of measles virus for oncolytic therapy. Although CD46 is also upregulated on many tumors, it is less useful as a target for cancer therapy, since normal human cells express this protein on their surfaces.

Microparticle-mediated transfer of the viral receptors CAR and CD46, and the CFTR channel in a CHO cell model confers new functions to target cells. PLoS One 2012; 7:e52326.

Abstract
Cell microparticles (MPs) released in the extracellular milieu can embark plasma membrane and intracellular components which are specific of their cellular origin, and transfer them to target cells. The MP-mediated, cell-to-cell transfer of three human membrane glycoproteins of different degrees of complexity was investigated in the present study, using a CHO cell model system. We first tested the delivery of CAR and CD46, two monospanins which act as adenovirus receptors, to target CHO cells. CHO cells lack CAR and CD46, high affinity receptors for human adenovirus serotype 5 (HAdV5), and serotype 35 (HAdV35), respectively. We found that MPs derived from CHO cells (MP-donor cells) constitutively expressing CAR (MP-CAR) or CD46 (MP-CD46) were able to transfer CAR and CD46 to target CHO cells, and conferred selective permissiveness to HAdV5 and HAdV35. In addition, target CHO cells incubated with MP-CD46 acquired the CD46-associated function in complement regulation. We also explored the MP-mediated delivery of a dodecaspanin membrane glycoprotein, the CFTR to target CHO cells. CFTR functions as a chloride channel in human cells and is implicated in the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. Target CHO cells incubated with MPs produced by CHO cells constitutively expressing GFP-tagged CFTR (MP-GFP-CFTR) were found to gain a new cellular function, the chloride channel activity associated to CFTR. Time-course analysis of the appearance of GFP-CFTR in target cells suggested that MPs could achieve the delivery of CFTR to target cells via two mechanisms: the transfer of mature, membrane-inserted CFTR glycoprotein, and the transfer of CFTR-encoding mRNA. These results confirmed that cell-derived MPs represent a new class of promising therapeutic vehicles for the delivery of bioactive macromolecules, proteins or mRNAs, the latter exerting the desired therapeutic effect in target cells via de novo synthesis of their encoded proteins.

Cell entry and trafficking of human adenovirus bound to blood factor X is determined by the fiber serotype and not hexon:heparan sulfate interaction. PLoS One 2011; 6:e18205.

Abstract
Human adenovirus serotype 5 (HAdV5)-based vectors administered intravenously accumulate in the liver as the result of their direct binding to blood coagulation factor X (FX) and subsequent interaction of the FX-HAdV5 complex with heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) at the surface of liver cells. Intriguingly, the serotype 35 fiber-pseudotyped vector HAdV5F35 has liver transduction efficiencies 4-logs lower than HAdV5, even though both vectors carry the same hexon capsomeres. In order to reconcile this apparent paradox, we investigated the possible role of other viral capsid proteins on the FX/HSPG-mediated cellular uptake of HAdV5-based vectors. Using CAR- and CD46-negative CHO cells varying in HSPG expression, we confirmed that FX bound to serotype 5 hexon protein and to HAdV5 and HAdV5F35 virions via its Gla-domain, and enhanced the binding of both vectors to surface-immobilized hypersulfated heparin and cellular HSPG. Using penton mutants, we found that the positive effect of FX on HAdV5 binding to HSPG and cell transduction did not depend on the penton base RGD and fiber shaft KKTK motifs. However, we found that FX had no enhancing effect on the HAdV5F35-mediated cell transduction, but a negative effect which did not involve the cell attachment or endocytic step, but the intracellular trafficking and nuclear import of the FX-HAdV5F35 complex. By cellular imaging, HAdV5F35 particles were observed to accumulate in the late endosomal compartment, and were released in significant amounts into the extracellular medium via exocytosis. We showed that the stability of serotype 5 hexon:FX interaction was higher at low pH compared to neutral pH, which could account for the retention of FX-HAdV5F35 complexes in the late endosomes. Our results suggested that, despite the high affinity interaction of hexon capsomeres to FX and cell surface HSPG, the adenoviral fiber acted as the dominant determinant of the internalization and trafficking pathway of HAdV5-based vectors.

Abstract
The complement system is a major component of the innate immune system that recognizes invading pathogens and eliminates them by means of an array of effector mechanisms, in addition to using direct lytic destruction. Viruses, in spite of their small size and simple composition, are also deftly recognized and neutralized by the complement system. In turn, as a result of years of coevolution with the host, viruses have developed multiple mechanisms to evade the host complement. These complex interactions between the complement system and viruses have been an area of focus for over three decades. In this article, we provide a broad overview of the field using key examples and up-to-date information on the complement-evasion strategies of viruses.

Abstract
The last decade of research on measles virus entry has provided new clues and concepts on the molecular mechanisms that drive virus entry in distinct tissues, virus propagation in vivo throughout multiple organs and virus exit to ensure epidemic propagation. Novel biochemical and structural information on viral glycoproteins have shed light on how a genotypically variable RNA virus with error-prone RNA polymerase can behave as an immunologically invariant virus for over half a century worldwide. Moreover, the viral attachment protein was found to support efficient retargeting to unnatural cellular receptors, and this led to the design of the first class of retargeted viral vectors possessing an envelope.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) has two envelope glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin (H) and fusion protein, which are responsible for attachment and membrane fusion, respectively. Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM, also called CD150), a membrane glycoprotein expressed on immune cells, acts as the principal cellular receptor for MV, accounting for its lymphotropism and immunosuppressive nature. MV also infects polarized epithelial cells via an as yet unknown receptor molecule, thereby presumably facilitating transmission via aerosol droplets. Vaccine and laboratory-adapted strains of MV use ubiquitously expressed CD46 as an alternate receptor through amino acid substitutions in the H protein. The crystal structure of the H protein indicates that the putative binding sites for SLAM, CD46, and the epithelial cell receptor are strategically located in different positions of the H protein. Other molecules have also been implicated in MV infection, although their relevance remains to be determined. The identification of MV receptors has advanced our understanding of MV tropism and pathogenesis.

Abstract
X-ray crystallographic analyses, together with nuclear magnetic resonance, have revealed three-dimensional structures of many important viral proteins, thereby allowing us to better understand the interactions between viral and host cell molecules. In this review, we summarize the recently determined crystal structure of the measles virus (MV) attachment protein hemagglutinin. Based on this structural information, we also discuss how the MV hemagglutinin interacts with various cellular receptors and why MV vaccines have been effective for many years without inducing escape mutant viruses. Other topics discussed are a putative MV receptor present on polarized epithelial cells and the protein expression system using a cultured human cell line 293SGnTI(-), which is suitable for X-ray crystallographic analyses.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) was isolated in 1954 (Enders and Peeble 1954). It is among the most contagious of viruses and a leading cause of mortality in children in developing countries (Murray and Lopez 1997; Griffin 2001; Bryce et al. 2005). Despite intense research over decades on the biology and pathogenesis of the virus and the successful development in 1963 of an effective MV vaccine (Cutts and Markowitz 1994), cell entry receptor(s) for MV remained unidentified until 1993. Two independent studies showed that transfection of nonsusceptible rodent cells with human CD46 renders these cells permissive to infection with the Edmonston and Halle vaccine strains of measles virus (Dorig et al. 1993; Naniche et al. 1993). A key finding in these investigations was that MV binding and infection was inhibited by monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to CD46. These reports established CD46 as a MV cell entry receptor. This chapter summarizes the role of CD46 in measles virus infection.

Abstract
Measles virus(MV), a member of the genusMorbillivirusin the familyParamyxoviridae, is an enveloped virus with a non-segmented, negative-strand RNA genome. It has two envelope glycoproteins, the haemagglutinin (H) and fusion proteins, which are responsible for attachment and membrane fusion, respectively. Human signalling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM; also called CD150), a membrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, acts as a cellular receptor for MV. SLAM is expressed on immature thymocytes, activated lymphocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells and regulates production of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 by CD4+T cells, as well as production of IL-12, tumour necrosis factor alpha and nitric oxide by macrophages. The distribution of SLAM is in accord with the lymphotropism and immunosuppressive nature of MV.Canine distemper virusandRinderpest virus, other members of the genusMorbillivirus, also use canine and bovine SLAM as receptors, respectively. Laboratory-adapted MV strains may use the ubiquitously expressed CD46, a complement-regulatory molecule, as an alternative receptor through amino acid substitutions in the H protein. Furthermore, MV can infect SLAM−cells, albeit inefficiently, via the SLAM- and CD46-independent pathway, which may account for MV infection of epithelial, endothelial and neuronal cellsin vivo. MV infection, however, is not determined entirely by the H protein–receptor interaction, and other MV proteins can also contribute to its efficient growth by facilitating virus replication at post-entry steps. Identification of SLAM as the principal receptor for MV has provided us with an important clue for better understanding of MV tropism and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) infection causes an acute childhood disease, associated in certain cases with infection of the central nervous system and development of a severe neurological disease. We have generated transgenic mice ubiquitously expressing the human protein SLAM (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule), or CD150, recently identified as an MV receptor. In contrast to all other MV receptor transgenic models described so far, in these mice infection with wild-type MV strains is highly pathogenic. Intranasal infection of SLAM transgenic suckling mice leads to MV spread to different organs and the development of an acute neurological syndrome, characterized by lethargy, seizures, ataxia, weight loss, and death within 3 weeks. In addition, in this model, vaccine and wild-type MV strains can be distinguished by virulence. Furthermore, intracranial MV infection of adult transgenic mice generates a subclinical infection associated with a high titer of MV-specific antibodies in the serum. Finally, to analyze new antimeasles therapeutic approaches, we created a recombinant soluble form of SLAM and demonstrated its important antiviral activity both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our results show the high susceptibility of SLAM transgenic mice to MV-induced neurological disease and open new perspectives for the analysis of the implication of SLAM in the neuropathogenicity of other morbilliviruses, which also use this molecule as a receptor. Moreover, this transgenic model, in allowing a simple readout of the efficacy of an antiviral treatment, provides unique experimental means to test novel anti-MV preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The complement system is a potent innate immune mechanism consisting of cascades of proteins which are designed to fight against and annul intrusion of all the foreign pathogens. Although viruses are smaller in size and have relatively simple structure, they are not immune to complement attack. Thus, activation of the complement system can lead to neutralization of cell-free viruses, phagocytosis of C3b-coated viral particles, lysis of virus-infected cells, and generation of inflammatory and specific immune responses. However, to combat host responses and succeed as pathogens, viruses not only have developed/adopted mechanisms to control complement, but also have turned these interactions to their own advantage. Important examples include poxviruses, herpesviruses, retroviruses, paramyxoviruses and picornaviruses. In this review, we provide information on the various complement evasion strategies that viruses have developed to thwart the complement attack of the host. A special emphasis is given on the interactions between the viral proteins that are involved in molecular mimicry and the complement system.

Abstract
CD46 is a widely expressed transmembrane protein that was initially identified as binding and inactivating C3b and C4b complement products. We used mice that were transgenic for one of two human CD46 isoforms that differ in their cytoplasmic domains (termed CD46-1 and CD46-2) to analyze the effect of CD46 stimulation on the immune response. We show here that CD46 can regulate inflammatory responses, either by inhibiting (CD46-1) or increasing (CD46-2) the contact hypersensitivity reaction. We found that engagement of CD46-1 or CD46-2 differentially affected CD8(+) T cell cytotoxicity, CD4(+) T cell proliferation, interleukin 2 (IL-2) and IL-10 production as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav in T lymphocytes. These results indicate that CD46 plays a role in regulating the T cell induced inflammatory reaction and in fine-tuning the cellular immune response by bridging innate and acquired immunity.

Abstract
According to their cellular receptor use, measles virus (MV) strains can be separated into two phenotypes, CD46-using and CD46-non-using. A long chimeric receptor, CD46CD[55-46], was generated from the CD46 backbone, encompassing the four short consensus repeat (SCR) domains of CD46 linked via a flexible glycine hinge to SCR1 and SCR2 of CD55, SCR3 and SCR4 of CD46 and the STP, transmembrane and cytoplasmic tail of CD46. This chimeric receptor was proficient for MV binding but deficient in mediating MV-induced cell-to-cell fusion and virus replication, possibly due to the extended distance between the MV haemagglutinin (H) binding site (CD46 SCR1-SCR2) and the cell membrane. When coexpressed with either wild-type CD46 or CD150, this fusion-incompetent receptor exerted a dominant negative effect and inhibited both cell-to-cell fusion and entry of MV with CD46-using, but not CD46-non-using, phenotype. A soluble octameric CD46-C4bpalpha exhibited similar CD46- and CD150-mediated fusion inhibition properties only against CD46-using MV. This suggests that the long CD46CD[55-46] receptor acts by sequestering incoming MV prior to its binding to the shorter functional CD46 or CD150 receptor.

Abstract
Human CD46, or membrane cofactor protein, is a regulator of complement activation and is used as a cellular receptor by measles virus. Using a series of 13 single point mutants, the region of short consensus repeat (SCR) 2 domain involved in the regulation of complement activation was mapped to residues E84, N94, Y98, E102, E103, I104 and E108. Molecular modelling localized all residues, with the exception of E84, close to each other on the external lateral face of the molecule, away from the residues important for the binding of measles virus, which are localized on the top of the molecule. The E84 residues is localized in the SCR1-2 hinge and the deleterious effect of its substitution by an alanine residue could affect the relative orientation and / or tilt of SCR1 on SCR2. Taken together, the results suggest that the measles virus binding and cofactor activity of CD46 map to distinct areas on the SCR2 module.

Abstract
We sought proof of principle that one of the safest human vaccines, measles virus Edmonston B (MV-Edm), can be genetically modified to allow entry via cell surface molecules other than its receptor CD46. Hybrid proteins consisting of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) or the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) linked to the extracellular (carboxyl) terminus of the MV-Edm attachment protein hemagglutinin (H) were produced. The standard H protein gene was replaced by one coding for H/EGF or H/IGF1 in cDNA copies of the MV genome. Recombinant viruses were rescued and replicated to titers approaching those of the parental strain. MV displaying EGF or IGF1 efficiently entered CD46-negative rodent cells expressing the human EGF or the IGF1 receptor, respectively, and the EGF virus caused extensive syncytium formation and cell death. Taking advantage of a factor Xa protease recognition site engineered in the hybrid H proteins, the displayed domain was cleaved off from virus particles, and specific entry in rodent cells was abrogated. These studies prove that MV can be engineered to selectively eliminate cells expressing a targeted receptor and provide insights into the mechanism of MV entry.

Abstract
Laboratory strains of measles viruses (MV), such as Edmonston and Halle, use the complement regulatory protein CD46 as a cell surface receptor. The receptor usage of clinical isolates of MV, however, remains unclear. Receptor usage by primary patient isolates of MV was compared to isolates that had been passaged on a variety of tissue culture cell lines. All of the isolates could infect cells in a CD46-dependent manner, but their tropism was restricted according to cell type (e.g., lymphocytes versus fibroblasts). The results indicate that patient isolates that have not been adapted to tissue culture cell lines use CD46 as a receptor. In addition, passaging primary MV patient isolates in B95-8 cells selected variants that had alternate receptor usage compared to the original isolate. Thus, changes in receptor usage by MV are dependent upon the cell type used for isolation. Furthermore, our results confirm the relevance of the CD46 receptor to natural measles infection.

Abstract
A chimeric fusion protein encompassing the CD46 ectodomain linked to the C-terminal part of the C4b binding protein (C4bp) alpha chain (sCD46-C4bpalpha) was produced in eukaryotic cells. This protein, secreted as a disulfide-linked homo-octamer, was recognized by a panel of anti-CD46 antibodies with varying avidities. Unlike monomeric sCD46, the octameric sCD46-C4bpalpha protein was devoid of complement regulatory activity. However, sCD46-C4bpalpha was able to bind to the measles virus hemagglutinin protein expressed on murine cells with a higher avidity than soluble monomeric sCD46. Moreover, the octameric sCD46-C4bpalpha protein was significantly more efficient than monomeric sCD46 in inhibiting virus binding to CD46, in blocking virus induced cell-cell fusion, and in neutralizing measles virus in vitro. In addition, the octameric sCD46-C4bpalpha protein, but not the monomeric sCD46, fully protected CD46 transgenic mice against a lethal intracranial measles virus challenge.

Abstract
To define further the accessory role(s) of the CD46 (membrane cofactor protein) short consensus repeat (SCR) III and IV domains in the interaction of CD46 with measles virus (MV), chimeric proteins were generated by substituting domains from the structurally related protein decay accelerating factor (DAF, CD55): x3DAF (exchange of CD46 SCR III) and x4DAF (exchange of SCR IV). Transfected CHO cell lines that stably expressed these chimeric proteins were compared for MV binding and infection. Compared with wild-type CD46 (I-II-III-IV), a significant decrease in MV binding was observed with x4DAF. Despite this limited binding, these cells were still capable of supporting virus entry. In a quantitative fusion assay, no significant differences in fusion were observed as a result of the exchange of either CD46 SCR III or IV. However, the down-regulation of cell surface CD46 typically observed following MV infection was abolished with x4DAF, as was the redistribution of CD46 on the cell surface. Thus, CD46 SCR IV appears to be required for optimal virus binding and receptor down-regulation, although importantly, in spite of these functional limitations, x4DAF can still be used for MV entry.

Abstract
Infection of mouse L.CD46 fibroblasts with measles virus resulted in a poor virus yield, although no defects in the steps of virus binding, entry or fusion, were detected. Two days post-infection, the level of expression of the viral F protein was found to be similar on the surface of infected L.CD46 and HeLa cells using a virus multiplicity enabling an equal number of cells to be infected. After immunofluorescence labelling and confocal microscopy, L.CD46 cells also displayed a significant increase in the co-localisation of the N protein with the cell surface H and F proteins. Immunogold labelling and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated the accumulation of numerous nucleocapsids near the plasma membrane of L. CD46 cells with little virus budding, in contrast to infected HeLa cells which displayed fewer cortical nucleocapsids and more enveloped viral particles. Purified virus particles from infected L. CD46 contained a reduced amount of H, F and M protein. Altogether, these data indicate that, in L.CD46 cells, the late stage of measles virus assembly is defective. This cellular model will be helpful for the identification of cellular factors controlling measles virus maturation.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) has a tropism restricted to humans and primates and uses the human CD46 molecule as a cellular receptor. MV has been adapted to grow in chicken embryonic fibroblasts (CEF) and gave rise to an attenuated live vaccine. Hallé and Schwarz MV strains were compared in their ability to infect both simian Vero cells and CEF. Whereas both strains infected Vero cells, only the CEF-adapted Schwarz strain was able to efficiently infect CEF. Since the expression of the human MV receptor CD46 rendered the chicken embryonic cell line TCF more permissive to the infection by the Hallé MV strain, the MV entry into CEF appeared to be a limiting step in the absence of prior MV adaptation. CEF lacked reactivity with anti-CD46 antibodies but were found to express another protein allowing MV binding as an alternative receptor to CD46.

Abstract
Expression of the human measles virus receptor, CD46, in the murine central nervous system allows infection and replication by wild-type human measles virus (MV) strains (Rall, G.F., Manchester, M., Daniels L.R., Callahan, E., Belman, A., Oldstone, M.B.A., 1997. A transgenic mouse model for measles virus infection of the brain. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 94, 2243-2248). MV replicates in neurons in focal lesions of the cortex, hippocampus and thalamus, leading to death of the animals. In MV-infected CD46 transgenic mice, infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and macrophages was seen. Upregulation of MHC class I and class II molecules was observed, along with reactive astrocytosis and microgliosis. Increased chemokine mRNAs, especially RANTES and IP-10, and cytokine RNAs IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL1-beta were observed. Apoptosis of neurons also was increased. No MV replication or inflammation was seen in similarly inoculated nontransgenic littermates. These results further characterize the MV-induced encephalitis in CD46 transgenic mice and highlight similarities to MV infection of the human CNS.

Abstract
The glycosylation machinery in eukaryotic cells is available to all proteins that enter the secretory pathway. There is a growing interest in diseases caused by defective glycosylation, and in therapeutic glycoproteins produced through recombinant DNA technology route. The choice of a bioprocess for commercial production of recombinant glycoprotein is determined by a variety of factors, such as intrinsic biological properties of the protein being expressed and the purpose for which it is intended, and also the economic target. This review summarizes recent development and understanding related to synthesis of glycans, their functions, diseases, and various expression systems and characterization of glycans. The second section covers processing of N- and O-glycans and the factors that regulate protein glycosylation. The third section deals with in vivo functions of protein glycosylation, which includes protein folding and stability, receptor functioning, cell adhesion and signal transduction. Malfunctioning of glycosylation machinery and the resultant diseases are the subject of the fourth section. The next section covers the various expression systems exploited for the glycoproteins: it includes yeasts, mammalian cells, insect cells, plants and an amoeboid organism. Biopharmaceutical properties of therapeutic proteins are discussed in the sixth section. In vitro protein glycosylation and the characterization of glycan structures are the subject matters for the last two sections, respectively.

Abstract
This paper provides evidence for a measles virus receptor other than CD46 on transformed marmoset and human B cells. We first showed that most tissues of marmosets are missing the SCR1 domain of CD46, which is essential for the binding of Edmonston measles virus, a laboratory strain that has been propagated in Vero monkey kidney cells. In spite of this deletion, the common marmoset was shown to be susceptible to infections by wild-type isolates of measles virus, although they did not support Edmonston measles virus production. As one would expect from these results, measles virus could not be propagated in owl monkey or marmoset kidney cell lines, but surprisingly, both a wild-type isolate (Montefiore 89) and the Edmonston laboratory strain of measles virus grew efficiently in B95-8 marmoset B cells. In addition, antibodies directed against CD46 had no effect on wild-type infections of marmoset B cells and only partially inhibited the replication of the Edmonston laboratory strain in the same cells. A direct binding assay with insect cells expressing the hemagglutinin (H) proteins of either the Edmonston or Montefiore 89 measles virus strains was used to probe the receptors on these B cells. Insect cells expressing Edmonston H but not the wild-type H bound to rodent cells with CD46 on their surface. On the other hand, both the Montefiore 89 H and Edmonston H proteins adhered to marmoset and human B cells. Most wild-type H proteins have asparagine residues at position 481 and can be converted to a CD46-binding phenotype by replacement of the residue with tyrosine. Similarly, the Edmonston H protein did not bind CD46 when its Tyr481 was converted to asparagine. However, this mutation did not affect the ability of Edmonston H to bind marmoset and human B cells. The preceding results provide evidence, through the use of a direct binding assay, that a second receptor for measles virus is present on primate B cells.

Abstract
This study analyzes the role of the measles virus (MV) receptor, i.e. the human CD46 molecule, in the MHC class II-restricted presentation of MV hemagglutinin (H). We generated transgenic mice ubiquitously expressing CD46, with a similar level of transgene expression on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APC), i.e. B cells, dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages. APC isolated from transgenic mice and nontransgenic controls were tested for their ability to present MV H to H-specific CD4+ I-Ed-restricted T cell hybridomas. All three populations of APC were capable of presenting MV to T cell hybridomas, DC being the most efficient. Expression of CD46 on B lymphocytes increased MHC class II-dependent presentation of MV H up to 100-fold, while CD46-transgenic DC stimulated H-specific T cell hybridomas up to 10-fold better than nontransgenic DC. Interestingly, expression of CD46 did not change the presentation efficiency of transgenic macrophages, indicating that CD46-dependent enhancement of antigen presentation depends on the nature of the APC. Furthermore, a single injection of UV-inactivated MV particles into CD46-transgenic mice, but not nontransgenic controls, induced generation of MV-specific T lymphocytes and production of anti-H antibodies, suggesting a role for CD46 in the efficient capture of MV in vivo. These results show for the first time that one ubiquitously expressed cell surface receptor, like CD46, could function in receptor-mediated antigen presentation both in vitro and in vivo and its performance depends on the type of APC which expresses it.

Abstract
The involvement of moesin in measles virus (MV) entry was investigated with moesin-positive and -negative mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. MV infection of these cells was very ineffective and was independent of moesin expression. Furthermore, when these cells were transfected to express human CD46, a 100-fold increase in syncytium formation was observed with these cells and was independent of the expression of moesin. The only obvious difference between moesin-positive and -negative ES cells was the shape of the syncytia formed. Moesin-negative ES cells expressing or not expressing human CD46 formed separate pieces of fragmented syncytia which were torn apart during spreading, whereas ES cells expressing moesin exhibited typical syncytia. In addition, moesin was not detected on the surface of any murine cells or cell lines that we have tested by a flow cytometric assay with moesin-specific antibodies. These findings indicate that murine moesin is neither a receptor nor a CD46 coreceptor for MV entry into mouse ES cells. Moesin is involved in actin filament-plasma membrane interactions as a cross-linker, and it affects only the spreading and shape of MV-mediated syncytia.

Abstract
The study of measles pathogenesis and the testing of improved vaccine candidates is hampered by the lack of a small animal model which is susceptible to infection by the intranasal route. With the identification of CD46 as a measles virus (MV) receptor, it was feasible to generate transgenic rats to overcome this problem. Although there was widespread expression of CD46 in the transgenic Sprague-Dawley rats, no measles-like disease could be induced after various routes of infection. The expressed transgenic protein was functionally intact since it mediated MV fusion and was downregulated by contact with MV hemagglutinin. In vitro studies revealed that CD46-expressing rat fibroblasts take up MV but do not allow viral replication, which explains the nonpermissiveness of the transgenic rats for in vivo infection.

Abstract
The measles virus (MV) hemagglutinin binds to the complement control protein (CCP) CD46 primarily through the two external modules, CCP-I and -II. To define the residues involved in binding, 40 amino acids predicted to be solvent-exposed on the CCP-I-II module surface were changed to either alanine or serine. Altered proteins were expressed on the cell surface, and their abilities to bind purified MV particles, a soluble form of hemagglutinin (sH) and nine CD46-specific antibodies competing to different levels with sH attachment, were measured. All proteins retained, at least in part, MV and sH binding, but some completely lost binding to certain antibodies. Amino acids essential for binding of antibodies weakly or moderately competing with sH attachment are situated in the membrane-distal tip of CCP-I, whereas residues involved in binding of strongly sH competing antibodies cluster in the center of CCP-I (Arg-25, Asp-27) or in CCP-II (Arg-69, Asp-70). Both clusters face the same side of CCP-I-II and map close to amino acid exchanges impairing sH binding (E11A, R29A, P39A, and D70A) or MV binding (D70A and E84A) and to a six-amino acid loop, previously shown to be necessary for sH binding.

Abstract
CD46 was previously shown to be a primate-specific receptor for the Edmonston strain of measles virus. This receptor consists of four short consensus regions (SCR1 to SCR4) which normally function in complement regulation. Measles virus has recently been shown to interact with SCR1 and SCR2. In this study, receptors on different types of monkey erythrocytes were employed as "natural mutant proteins" to further define the virus binding regions of CD46. Erythrocytes from African green monkeys and rhesus macaques hemagglutinate in the presence of measles virus, while baboon erythrocytes were the least efficient of the Old World monkey cells used in these assays. Subsequent studies demonstrated that the SCR2 domain of baboon CD46 contained an Arg-to-Gln mutation at amino acid position 103 which accounted for reduced hemagglutination activity. Surprisingly, none of the New World monkey erythrocytes hemagglutinated in the presence of virus. Sequencing of cDNAs derived from the lymphocytes of these New World monkeys and analysis of their erythrocytes with SCR1-specific polyclonal antibodies indicated that the SCR1 domain was deleted in these cells. Additional experiments, which used 35 different site-specific mutations inserted into CD46, were performed to complement the preceding studies. The effects of these artificial mutations were documented with a convenient binding assay using insect cells expressing the measles virus hemagglutinin. Mutations which mimicked the change found in baboon CD46 or another which deleted the SCR2 glycosylation site reduced binding substantially. Another mutation which altered GluArg to AlaAla at positions 58 and 59, totally abolished binding. Finally, the epitopes for two monoclonal antibodies which inhibit measles virus attachment were mapped to the same regions implicated by mutagenesis.

Abstract
Measles virus (MV) enters cells by attachment of the viral hemagglutinin to the major cell surface receptor CD46 (membrane cofactor protein). CD46 is a transmembrane glycoprotein whose ectodomain is largely composed of four conserved modules called short consensus repeats (SCRs). We have previously shown that MV interacts with SCR1 and SCR2 of CD46. (M. Manchester et al. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92, 2303-2307) Here we report mapping the MV interaction with SCR1 and SCR2 of CD46 using a combination of peptide inhibition and mutagenesis studies. By testing a series of overlapping peptides corresponding to the 126 amino acid SCR1-2 region for inhibition of MV infection, two domains were identified that interacted with MV. One domain was found within SCR1 (amino acids 37-56) and another within SCR2 (amino acids 85-104). These results were confirmed by constructing chimeras with complementary regions from structurally similar, but non-MV-binding, SCRs of decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55). These results indicate that MV contacts at least two distinct sites within SCR1-2.

Abstract
The binding of a recombinant soluble form of the measles virus (MV) hemagglutinin (sH) to cells expressing hybrid CD46/CD4 proteins was compared to that of purified virus. For binding of both ligands, both CD46 external short consensus repeats I and II (SCR I and II) in the natural order were essential. The addition of SCR III and IV enhanced virus binding but inhibited sH binding. Accordingly, this lowered the ability of sH to compete with MV binding. Antihemagglutinin monoclonal antibodies selectively inhibited the binding of either sH or MV. Thus, sH and MV share a common binding site in SCR I and II but differ in their apparent avidity to CD46 under the influence of SCR III and IV.

Abstract
The two terminal complement control protein (CCP) modules of the CD46 glycoprotein mediate measles virus binding. Three-dimensional models for these two domains were derived based on the NMR structures of two CCP modules of factor H. Both CD46 modules are about 35 A long, and form a five-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel structure. Monte Carlo simulations, sampling the backbone torsion angles of the linker peptide and selecting possible orientations on the basis of minimal solvent-exposed hydrophobic area, were used to predict the orientation of CCP-I relative to CCP-II. We tested this procedure successfully for factor H. For CD46, three clusters of structures differing in the tilt angle of the two domains were obtained. To test these models, we mutagenized the CCP modules. Four proteins, two without an oligosaccharide chain and two with mutated short amino acid segments, reached the cell surface efficiently. Only the protein without the CCP-I oligosaccharide chain maintained binding to the viral attachment protein hemagglutinin. These results are consistent with one of our models and suggest that the viral hemagglutinin does not bind at the membrane-distal tip of CD46, but near the concave CCP-II interface region.

Abstract
The binding of antimoesin antibodies from ascites fluids to the surfaces of human and rodent cells was found to parallel the level of CD46 expression. No such reactivity was detected with a purified antimoesin antibody which recognized intracellular moesin. In Western blots, antimoesin antibodies were found to react with solubilized CD46 and a recombinant soluble form of CD46. Antimoesin antibodies also reacted with CD46/CD4 molecules containing only the SCR I and II domains required for measles virus (MV) hemagglutinin binding onto CD46. We suggest that the weak cross-reactivity of antimoesin antibodies with CD46 explains the inhibitory effect of these antibodies on MV entry and that moesin is not directly involved in MV binding.
