The receptor for the subgroup A avian sarcoma and leukosis viruses
[ASLV(A)] is the cellular glycoprotein Tva. A soluble form of Tva,
sTva, was produced and purified with a baculovirus expression system.
Using this system, 7 to 10 mg of purified sTva per liter of cultured
Sf9 cells was obtained. Characterization of the carbohydrate modification of sTva revealed that the three N glycosylation sites in
sTva were differentially utilized; however, the O glycosylation common
to Tva produced in mammalian and avian cells was not observed. Purified
sTva demonstrates significant biological activity, specifically blocking infection of avian cells by ASLV(A) with a 90% inhibitory concentration of ~25 pM. A quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, developed to assess the binding of sTva to ASLV envelope glycoprotein, demonstrates that sTva has a high affinity for EnvA, with
an apparent dissociation constant of approximately 0.3 nM. Once they
are bound, a very stable complex is formed between EnvA and sTva, with
an estimated complex half-life of 6 h. The soluble receptor
protein described here represents a valuable tool for analysis of the
receptor-envelope glycoprotein interaction and for structural analysis
of Tva.
