The binding of a recombinant soluble form of the measles virus (MV)
hemagglutinin (sH) to cells expressing hybrid CD46/CD4 proteins was
compared to that of purified virus. For binding of both ligands, both CD46
external short consensus repeats I and II (SCR I and II) in the natural
order were essential. The addition of SCR III and IV enhanced virus binding
but inhibited sH binding. Accordingly, this lowered the ability of sH to
compete with MV binding. Antihemagglutinin monoclonal antibodies
selectively inhibited the binding of either sH or MV. Thus, sH and MV share
a common binding site in SCR I and II but differ in their apparent avidity
to CD46 under the influence of SCR III and IV.
