Two clusters of mutations map distinct receptor-binding sites of echovirus 11 for the decay-accelerating factor (CD55) and for canyon-binding receptors.
In this study we present the comparative sequence analysis of the parental haemagglutinating (daf+) and mutant non-haemagglutinating (daf-) clones of echovirus 11 (EV11) isolated from the prototype strain Gregory. The sequence comparison revealed only a single amino acid substitution in the capsid protein VP2 of each mutant clone. These substitutions were located in the area of viral receptor-binding site for DAF. Since daf- mutants of EV11 did not interact with DAF, they used an alternative receptor for the cell entry. To elucidate the nature of the alternative receptor we used subvariant clones of EV11 adapted to human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD), human carcinoma (HEp-2) and African Green monkey kidney (BGM) cell lines. The usage of the subvariant clones with altered host range and the cell cultures of human and simian origin allowed us to map the amino acid substitutions associated with the adaptation of EV11 to the alternative cellular receptors. These amino acid substitutions were located on the surface of the virion in the canyon area. Hence the virus canyon may serve as the receptor-binding site for the alternative (in respect to DAF) cellular receptor(s).
