To assess the role of the F 1 domain on the fusion activity of F, different ISAV HE and F combinations were evaluated in membrane fusion assays, using transfected CHSE/F cells expressing the viral HE and F proteins and R18-labeled salmon RBCs. After adhesion, cells were subjected to trypsin treatment and low pH to activate the fusion mechanism. In ISAV, if the primary receptor (5N-4O sialic acids) binding via HE is not affected by the HPR length/esterase activity, possibly a secondary viral protein-cellular ligand interaction is regulated by those elements. ./cache/cord-334907-l4jjb93l.txt ./txt/cord-334907-l4jjb93l.txt
