Multivalent interactions between fully glycosylated influenza virus hemagglutinins mediated by glycans at distinct N-glycosylation sites

Abstract The hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein of influenza virus binds host cell receptors and mediates viral entry. Here we present cryo-EM structures of fully glycosylated HAs from H5N1 and H5N8 influenza viruses. We find that the H5N1 HA can form filaments that comprise two head-to-head HA trimers...
