| UniProt functional annotation for P04850 | |||
| UniProt code: P04850. |
| Organism: | Parainfluenza virus 5 (strain W3) (PIV5) (Simian virus 5). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Riboviria; Orthornavirae; Negarnaviricota; Haploviricotina; Monjiviricetes; Mononegavirales; Paramyxoviridae; Rubulavirinae; Orthorubulavirus; Mammalian orthorubulavirus 5. | |
| Function: | Attaches the virus to sialic acid-containing cell receptors and thereby initiating infection. Binding of HN protein to the receptor induces a conformational change that allows the F protein to trigger virion/cell membranes fusion (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Function: | Neuraminidase activity ensures the efficient spread of the virus by dissociating the mature virions from the neuraminic acid containing glycoproteins. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| 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; | |
| Subcellular location: | Virion membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Host cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the paramyxoviruses hemagglutinin-neuraminidase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
