of Hong Kong Hong Kong 5 Received 2 July 2008 Accepted 27 October 2008 Human coronavirus HKU1 HCoV HKU1 is a recently discovered human coronavirus associated with respiratory tract infections worldwide In this study we have identified the major histocompatibility complex class I C molecule HLA C as an attachment factor in facilitating HCoV HKU1 spike S mediated infection HCoV HKU1 S pseudotyped virus was assembled using a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 derived reporter virus harboring the human codon optimized spike of HCoV HKU1 We identified human alveolar epithelial A549 cells as the most susceptible cell line among those tested to infection by HCoV HKU1 S pseudotypes A549 cells were shown to bind purified soluble HCoV HKU1 S 1 600 glycopeptide To search for the functional receptor for HCoV HKU1 an A549 cDNA expression library was constructed and transduced into the nonpermissive baby hamster kidney cells line BHK 21 Transduced cells that bind soluble HCoV HKU1 S 1 600 glycoprotein with C terminal FLAG were sorted Sequencing of two independent clones revealed cDNA inserts encoding HLA C Inhibition of HLA C expression or function by RNAi silencing and anti HLA C antibody decreased HCoV HKU1 S pseudotyped virus infection of A549 cells by 62 to 65 whereas pretreat ment of cells with neuraminidase decreased such infection by only 13 When HLA C was constitutively expressed in another nonpermissive cell line NIH 3T3 quantitative PCR showed that the binding of HCoV HKU1 S pseudotyped virus to cell surfaces was increased by 200 fold but the cells remained nonsusceptible to HCoV HKU1 S pseudotyped virus infection Our data suggest that HLA C is involved in the attachment of HCoV HKU1 to A549 cells and is a potential candidate to facilitate cell entry However other unknown surface proteins on A549 cells may be concomitantly utilized by S glycoprotein of HCoV HKU1 during viral entry Further studies are required to elucidate other putative receptors or coreceptors for HCoV HKU1 and the mechanism of HCoV HKU1 S mediated cell entry The genus of Coronavirus consists of three groups of coro naviruses which are enveloped single stranded positive sense RNA viruses with a genome size of about 30 kb They are known to cause respiratory or intestinal infections in human and other animals Human coronavirus HKU1 HCoV HKU1 a recently identified coronavirus associated with hu man respiratory tract infections first discovered in Hong Kong is classified as a group 2 coronavirus 36 38 At least three genotypes of HCoV HKU1 have been found and shown to have arisen from intergenotype recombination 37 39 Coronaviruses may overcome the entry or interspecies barrier or develop additional host receptor interactions through muta tions or incorporation of foreign sequences into the spike S protein This might explain the diversity of receptor usage among coronaviruses which allows them to exploit different strategies in gaining host cell entry by utilizing a range of cellular proteins and or coreceptors A number of group 1 coronaviruses utilize species specific aminopeptidase N APN a family of metallopro teases as functional receptors Indeed feline APN can serve as a common receptor for group 1 coronaviruses affecting feline ca nine porcine and human species 11 20 30 41 However HCoV NL63 a newly discovered group 1 coronavirus was found to utilize angiotensin converting enzyme 2 ACE2 as an entry receptor 26 The receptor used by some members of group 1 coronavirus such as porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and type I feline infectious peritonitis virus has not been identified The sialic acid N acetyl 9 O acetylneuraminic acid was shown to be the functional receptor for group 2 coronaviruses such as HCoV OC43 and bovine coronaviruses BCoV 13 27 33 But mouse hepatitis virus MHV also a group 2 coronavirus has evolved to use a carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule CEACAM1 as the major receptor and heparan sulfate which may function either as the receptor or as an attachment factor depending on the strain 10 29 34 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS CoV a distantly related group 2 coronavirus uses ACE2 independently with or without DC SIGN and related proteins to mediate infection 22 For group 3 coro naviruses the reported use of sialic acids as the receptor is con sidered controversial and heparan sulfate has been reported to act as an attachment factor for infectious bronchitis virus IBV 23 Feline APN had been ruled out as a functional receptor for avian IBV 5 The

between the S1 and S2 subdomains Inhibition of the cleavage of recombinant HCoV HKU1 S protein by a furin in hibitor is concentration dependent in a cell based proteolysis as say 3 The S1 subdomain residues 14 to 760 presumably con tains the receptor binding region 36 However the identity of the host receptor is still unknown As HCoV HKU1 cannot be maintained in cell culture yet the identification of the receptor will be critical in understanding the biology and entry mechanism of this elusive virus In this study we identified human lung epi thelial cell line A549 to be highly susceptible to HCoV HKU1 S bearing pseudotyped virus By adopting an expression cloning approach we transduced an A549 derived retroviral cDNA li brary into nonsusceptible hamster kidney BHK 21 cells Trans duced cells that bound soluble codon optimized C terminally FLAG tagged HCoV HKU1 S glycoprotein amino acids 1 to 600 were sorted by flow cytometry The HCoV HKU1 S binding cells were revealed to have incorporated a cDNA transcript iden tical to that of human HLA C molecules which were subse quently confirmed to function as an attachment factor by enhanc ing virus binding onto cell surfaces
