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}.
