Three members of the {alpha}V integrin family of cellular receptors, {alpha}Vß1, {alpha}Vß3, and {alpha}Vß6, have been identified as receptors for foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in vitro. The virus interacts with these receptors via a highly conserved arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) amino acid sequence motif located within the ßG-ßH (G-H) loop of VP1. Other {alpha}V integrins, as well as several other integrins, recognize and bind to RGD motifs on their natural ligands and also may be candidate receptors for FMDV. To analyze the roles of the {alpha}V integrins from a susceptible species as viral receptors, we molecularly cloned the bovine ß1, ß5, and ß6 integrin subunits. Using these subunits, along with previously cloned bovine {alpha}V and ß3 subunits, in a transient expression assay system, we compared the efficiencies of infection mediated by {alpha}Vß1, {alpha}Vß3, {alpha}Vß5, and {alpha}Vß6 among three strains of FMDV serotype A and two strains of serotype O. While all the viruses could infect cells expressing these integrins, they exhibited different efficiencies of integrin utilization. All the type A viruses used {alpha}Vß3 and {alpha}Vß6 with relatively high efficiency, while only one virus utilized {alpha}Vß1 with moderate efficiency. In contrast, both type O viruses utilized {alpha}Vß6 and {alpha}Vß1 with higher efficiency than {alpha}Vß3. Only low levels of viral replication were detected in {alpha}Vß5-expressing cells infected with either serotype. Experiments in which the ligand-binding domains among the ß subunits were exchanged indicated that this region of the integrin subunit appears to contribute to the differences in integrin utilizations among strains. In contrast, the G-H loops of the different viruses do not appear to be involved in this phenomenon. Thus, the ability of the virus to utilize multiple integrins in vitro may be a reflection of the use of multiple receptors during the course of infection within the susceptible host.
