ABSTRACT
Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is a prototypical class 1 viral entry glycoprotein, responsible for mediating receptor binding and membrane fusion. Structures of its prefusion and postfusion forms, embodying the beginning and endpoints of the fusion pathway, have been extensively characterized. Studies probing HA dynamics during fusion have begun to identify intermediate states along the pathway, enhancing our understanding of how HA becomes activated and traverses its conformational pathway to complete fusion. HA is also the most variable, rapidly evolving part of influenza virus, and it is not known whether mechanisms of its activation and fusion are conserved across divergent viral subtypes. Here, we apply hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to compare fusion activation in two subtypes of HA, H1 and H3. Our data reveal subtype-specific behavior in the regions of HA that undergo structural rearrangement during fusion, including the fusion peptide and HA1/HA2 interface. In the presence of an antibody that inhibits the conformational change (FI6v3), we observe that acid-induced dynamic changes near the epitope are dampened, but the degree of protection at the fusion peptide is different for the two subtypes investigated. These results thus provide new insights into variation in the mechanisms of influenza HA's dynamic activation and its inhibition.
