Histo-Blood Group Antigen Presentation Is Critical for Binding of Norovirus VLP to Glycosphingolipids in Model Membranes.

ACS Chemical Biology, 2017
Virus entry depends on biomolecular recognition at the surface of cell membranes. In the case of glycolipid receptors, these events are expected to be influenced by how the glycan epitope close to the membrane is presented to the virus. This presentation

Histo-blood group gene polymorphisms as potential genetic modifiers of infection and cystic fibrosis lung disease severity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundThe pulmonary phenotype in cystic fibrosis (CF) is variable; thus, environmental and genetic factors likely contribute to clinical heterogeneity.

The Hidden Conformation of Lewis x, a Human Histo-Blood Group Antigen, Is a Determinant for Recognition by Pathogen Lectins.

ACS Chemical Biology, 2016
Histo-blood group epitopes are fucosylated branched oligosaccharides with well-defined conformations in solution that are recognized by receptors, such as lectins from pathogens.

The 2.6 Å Structure of a Tulane Virus Variant with Minor Mutations Leading to Receptor Change

Biomolecules
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis, contributing significantly to annual foodborne illness cases. However, studying these viruses has been challenging due to limitations in tissue culture techniques for over four ...

The P Domain of Norovirus Capsid Protein Forms a Subviral Particle That Binds to Histo-Blood Group Antigen Receptors

Journal of Virology, 2005
Norovirus is the most important cause of nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis. We have shown previously that the isolated P domain containing the hinge forms a dimer and binds to histo-blood group antigen (HBGA) receptors with a low affinity (M. Tan, R. S.

Genetic Susceptibility to Rotavirus Gastroenteritis and Vaccine Effectiveness in Taiwanese Children

Scientific Reports, 2017
The genetic susceptibility to and vaccine effectiveness against rotavirus gastroenteritis were different in distinct ethnic groups. The case-control study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of rotavirus vaccines and associations between the histo ...

Characterization of human norovirus binding to gut-associated bacterial ligands

BMC Research Notes, 2019
Objective Research suggests human norovirus binding to histo-blood group antigen (HBGA)-like molecules on enteric bacteria may enhance viral pathogenesis; however, the properties of these bacterial ligands are not well known.
