Mouse hepatitis virus binds to the N-terminal domain of its receptor, MHVR,
a murine biliary glycoprotein with four immunoglobulin-like domains (G.S.

90:1716-1720, 1993). A recombinant protein with only the anchored
N-terminal domain was not a functional receptor, but a recombinant protein
with the N-terminal domain of MHVR linked to the second and third
immunoglobulin-like domains and anchor from the mouse poliovirus receptor
homolog, mph, was a functional receptor for mouse hepatitis virus. The
native four-domain MHVR has 16 potential N-linked glycosylation sites,
including three on the N-terminal domain. Recombinant proteins lacking each
one of these three sites or all three of them were functional receptors.
Thus, glycosylation of the N- terminal domain is not required, but a
glycoprotein longer than the N- terminal domain is required for virus
receptor activity.
