UniProt functional annotation for P04506

UniProt code: P04506.

Organism: Reovirus type 1 (strain Lang) (T1L) (Mammalian orthoreovirus 1).
Taxonomy: Viruses; Riboviria; Orthornavirae; Duplornaviricota; Resentoviricetes; Reovirales; Reoviridae; Spinareovirinae; Orthoreovirus.
 
Function: Fiber-like molecule that attaches the virion to the host cell membrane by binding to the primary receptor F11R/JAM-A and to sialic acid containing proteins (coreceptor). The interaction of sigma-1 with F11R is required for NF-kB activation and apoptosis. Binding to both sialic acid and F11R is required to induce maximal levels of apoptosis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Homotrimer. Interacts (via the head region) with human F11R (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Virion {ECO:0000250}. Note=Found in the outer capsid (36 copies). {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Undergoes dramatic conformational rearrangements during viral disassembly in the endocytic pathway. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the orthoreovirus sigma-1 protein family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA47276.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAA66877.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
