Influence of calcium on lipid mixing mediated by influenza hemagglutinin.


ABSTRACT: We studied the influence of calcium on lipid mixing mediated by influenza hemagglutinin (HA). Lipid mixing between HA-expressing cells and liposomes containing disialoganglioside, influenza virus receptor, was studied at 37 degrees C and neutral pH after a low-pH pulse at 4 degrees C. With DSPC/cholesterol liposomes, calcium present after raising the temperature significantly promoted lipid mixing only when it was triggered by a short low-pH application. In case of DOPC/cholesterol liposomes, calcium promotion was observed regardless of the duration of the low-pH pulse. Calcium present during a short, but not long, low-pH application to HA-expressing cells with bound DSPC/cholesterol liposomes at 4 degrees C inhibited subsequent lipid mixing. We hypothesize that calcium influences lipid mixing because it binds to a vestigial esterase domain of hemagglutinin or causes expulsion of the fusion peptide from an electronegative cavity. We suggest that calcium promotes the transition from early and reversible conformation(s) of low pH-activated HA towards an irreversible conformation that underlies both HA-mediated lipid mixing and HA inactivation.
