Figure 4. Homology-based structural model of HA-glycan receptor complexes.

Figure 4

A, stereo view of the RBS (shown as cartoon in cyan) of CkPA04 HA – avian receptor structural complex constructed using co-crystal structure of A/Chicken/NY/91-avian receptor (PRB ID: 2WR2) as a template. The resolved coordinates of the avian receptor (Neu5Acα2→3Galβ1→3GlcNAc) are shown using a stick representation (in green). B, stereo view of RBS (shown as cartoon in gray) of Alb58 HA – human receptor complex constructed using co-crystal structure of A/Singapore/1/57– human receptor (PDB ID: 2WR7) as the template. The resolved coordinates of the human receptor (Neu5Acα2→6Galβ1→4GlcNAcβ1→3Gal) are shown using a stick representation (in orange). The side chains of the key residues involved in interaction with glycan receptor are shown and labeled. The residues in the RBS that differ between CkPA04 and Alb58 HA are labeled in red.
