Increased viral surveillance has led to the isolation and identification of numerous uncharacterized paramyxoviruses, rapidly expanding our understanding of paramyxoviral diversity beyond the bounds of known genera. Despite this diversity, a key feature that unites paramyxoviruses is the presence of a receptor-binding protein (RBP), which facilitates host-cell attachment and plays a fundamental role in determining host range. Here, we study the RBP presented on the surface of rodent-borne paramyxoviruses Mossman and Nariva (MosV and NarV, respectively), viruses that constitute founding members of the recently defined Narmovirus genus within the Paramyxoviridae family. Crystallographic analysis of the C-terminal head region of the dimeric MosV and NarV RBPs demonstrates that while these glycoproteins retain the canonical six-bladed β-propeller fold found in other paramyxoviral RBPs, they lack the structural motifs associated with established paramyxovirus host-cell receptor entry pathways. Consistent with MosV-RBP and NarV-RBP undergoing a distinct entry pathway from other characterized paramyxoviruses, structure-based phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that these six-bladed β-propeller head domains form a singular structural class that is distinct from other paramyxoviral RBPs. Additionally, using an integrated crystallographic and small-angle X-ray scattering analysis, we confirm that MosV-RBP and NarV-RBP form homodimeric arrangements that are distinct from those adopted by other paramyxovirus RBPs. Altogether, this investigation provides a molecular-level blueprint of the narmovirus RBP that broadens our understanding of the structural space and functional diversity available to paramyxovirus RBPs. Genetically diverse paramyxoviruses are united in their presentation of a receptor-binding protein (RBP), which works in concert with the fusion protein to facilitate host-cell entry. The C-terminal head region of the paramyxoviral RBP, a primary determinant of host-cell tropism and inter-species transmission potential, forms structurally distinct classes dependent upon protein and glycan receptor specificity. Here, we reveal the architecture of the C-terminal head region of the RBPs from Nariva virus (NarV) and Mossman virus (MosV), two archetypal rodent-borne paramyxoviruses within the recently established genus Narmovirus, family Paramyxoviridae. Our analysis reveals that while narmoviruses retain the general architectural features associated with paramyxoviral RBPs, namely, a six-bladed β-propeller fold, they lack the structural motifs associated with known receptor-mediated host-cell entry pathways. This investigation indicates that the RBPs of narmoviruses exhibit pathobiological features that are distinct from those of other paramyxoviruses.
