Interaction between echovirus 7 and its receptor, decay-accelerating factor (CD55): evidence for a secondary cellular factor in A-particle formation.

Soluble forms of decay-accelerating factor ( DAF) (CD55), the receptor for echovirus 7, were synthesized in the yeast Pichia pastoris. Purified recombinant protein containing SCR domains 2, 3, and 4, but lacking the serine/threonine rich region, was shown to block infection of susceptible cells by echovirus 7. In contrast to the situation with poliovirus and its receptor, the neutralization of echovirus 7 by soluble DAF was completely reversible and did not lead to the formation of 135S A-particles. Binding of virus to susceptible cells, by contrast, did lead to the formation of A particles, mainly from virus that had been internalized. The data suggest that a secondary factor(s) may contribute to A-particle formation and uncoating of echovirus 7.[1]
