RGD sequence of foot-and-mouth disease virus isessential for infecting cells via the natural receptor but can be bypassed by anantibody-dependent enhancement pathway.

Abstract excerpt
Foot-and-mouth disease virus appears to initiate infection by binding to cells at an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence found in the flexible beta G-beta H loop of the viral capsid protein VP1. The role of the RGD sequence in attachment of virus to cells was tested by using synthetic full-length viral RNAs mutated within or near the RGD sequence. Baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells transfected with three different RNAs...
