| Abstract | Measles virus (MV) possesses two envelope glycoproteins, namely, the receptor-binding hemagglutinin (H) and fusion proteins. Wild-type MV strains isolated in B-lymphoid cell lines use signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM), but not CD46, as a cellular receptor, whereas MV vaccine strains of the Edmonston lineage use both SLAM and CD46 as receptors. Studies have shown that the residue at position 481 of the H protein is critical in determining the use of CD46 as a receptor. However, the wild-type IC-B strain with a single N481Y substitution in the H protein utilizes CD46 rather inefficiently. In this study, a number of chimeric and mutant H proteins, and recombinant viruses harboring them, were generated to determine which residues of the Edmonston H protein are responsible for its efficient use of CD46. Our results show that three substitutions (N390I and E492G plus N416D or T446S), in addition to N481Y, are necessary for the IC-B H protein to use CD46 efficiently as a receptor. The N390I, N416D, and T446S substitutions are present in the H proteins of all strains of the Edmonston lineage, whereas the E492G substitution is found only in the H protein of the Edmonston tag strain generated from cDNAs. The T484N substitution, found in some of the Edmonston-lineage strains, resulted in a similar effect on the use of CD46 to that caused by the E492G substitution. Thus, multiple residues in the H protein that have not previously been implicated have important roles in the interaction with CD46. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
