Rhinoviral receptor discrimination: mutational changes in the canyon regions of human rhinovirus types 2 and 14 indicate a different site of interaction.

Abstract excerpt

Amino acid sequence comparisons between the capsid proteins of several human rhinovirus (HRV) serotypes identified residues potentially involved in the discrimination between the major and the minor group receptors. Amino acids conserved within minor group HRVs were substituted in a full-length cDNA clone of HRV2 for those found at equivalent positions in major group HRVs. Transfection of HeLa cells with RNAs...
