    Structure of the haemagglutinin membrane glycoprotein of influenza virus at 3 A resolution.

    Abstract

    The haemagglutinin glycoprotein of influenza virus is a trimer comprising two structurally distinct regions: a triple-stranded coiled-coil of alpha-helices extends 76 A from the membrane and a globular region of antiparallel beta-sheet, which contains the receptor binding site and the variable antigenic determinants, is positioned on top of this stem. Each subunit has an unusual loop-like topology, starting at the membrane, extending 135 A distally and folding back to enter the membrane.
