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): ×3DAF (exchange of CD46 SCR III) and ×4DAF (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 ×4DAF. 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 ×4DAF, 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, ×4DAF can still be used for MV entry.
