UniProt functional annotation for Q9Q2W5

UniProt code: Q9Q2W5.

Organism: Newcastle disease virus (strain Kansas) (NDV).
Taxonomy: Viruses; Riboviria; Orthornavirae; Negarnaviricota; Haploviricotina; Monjiviricetes; Mononegavirales; Paramyxoviridae; Avulavirinae; Orthoavulavirus; Avian orthoavulavirus 1.
 
Function: Mediates the viral entry into the host cell together with fusion/F protein. Attaches the virus to sialic acid-containing cell receptors and thereby initiates infection. Binding of HN protein to the receptor induces a conformational change that allows the F protein to trigger virion/cell membranes fusion. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0}.
 
Function: Neuraminidase activity ensures the efficient spread of the virus by dissociating the mature virions from the neuraminic acid containing glycoproteins. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Hydrolysis of alpha-(2->3)-, alpha-(2->6)-, alpha- (2->8)- glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic acid residues in oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, colominic acid and synthetic substrates.; EC=3.2.1.18; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0};
Subunit: Homodimer. Forms homotetramers. Interacts with fusion/F protein. Interacts with host CG-1B; this interaction inhibits viral adsorption and replication rather than internalization. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0}.
Subcellular location: Virion membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0}. Host cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91UL0}.
Similarity: Belongs to the paramyxoviruses hemagglutinin-neuraminidase family. {ECO:0000305}.
