Human nectin1 (hNectin1), an adhesion molecule belonging to the nectin family of the immunoglobulin superfamily, mediates entry of herpes simplex virus (HSV) into cells. The hNectin1 domain that mediates virus entry into cells and also binds glycoprotein D (gD) has been localized to the first N-terminal V-type domain. The poliovirus receptor (PVR) is a structural homolog to nectins, but it cannot function as an HSV entry receptor. hNectin1-PVR chimeras were constructed to functionally locate the site on hNectin1 involved in HSV entry (HSV entry site). The epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody (MAb) R1.302, which is able to block HSV entry, was also located. The chimeric receptors were designed to preserve the overall structure of the V domain. The HSV entry activity mapped entirely to the hNectin1 portion located between residues 64 and 94 (64-94), likely to encode the C, C', and C" beta -strands and intervening loops. In turn, this site consisted of two portions: one with low-level basal activity for HSV entry (77-94), and one immediately upstream (residues 64 to 76) which greatly enhanced the HSV entry activity of the downstream region. The gD-binding site mapped substantially to the same site, whereas the MAb R1.302 epitope also required a further downstream portion (95-102). The involvement of the 64-76 portion is at difference with previous indirect mapping results that were based on competitive binding studies (C. Krummenacher et al., J. Virol. 74:10863-10872, 2000). The A, A', B, D, E, F, and G beta -strands and intervening loops did not appear to play any role in HSV entry. According to the predicted three-dimensional structure of PVR, the C C' C" site is located peripherally in the V domain and very likely represents an accessible portion at the cell surface.
