The human alpha 2 beta 1 integrin binds collagen and acts as a cellular receptor for rotaviruses and human echovirus 1. These ligands require the inserted (I) domain within the alpha 2 subunit of alpha 2 beta 1 for binding. Previous studies have identified the binding sites for collagen and echovirus 1 in the alpha 2 I domain. We used CHO cells expressing mutated alpha 2 beta 1 to identify amino acids involved in binding to human and animal rotaviruses. Residues where mutation affected rotavirus binding were located in several exposed loops and adjacent regions of the alpha 2 I domain. Binding by all rotaviruses was eliminated by mutations in the activation-responsive alpha C-alpha 6 and alpha F helices. This is a novel feature that distinguishes rotavirus from other alpha 2 beta 1 ligands. Mutation of residues that co-ordinate the metal ion (Ser-153, Thr-221, and Glu-256 in alpha 2 and Asp-130 in beta 1) and nearby amino acids (Ser-154, Gln-215, and Asp-219) also inhibited rotavirus binding. The importance of most of these residues was greatest for binding by human rotaviruses. These mutations inhibit collagen binding to alpha 2 beta 1 (apart from Glu-256) but do not affect echovirus binding. Overall, residues where mutation affected both rotavirus and collagen recognition are located at one side of the metal ion-dependent adhesion site, whereas those important for collagen alone cluster nearby. Mutations eliminating rotavirus and echovirus binding are distinct, consistent with the respective preference of these viruses for activated or inactive alpha 2 beta 1. In contrast, rotavirus and collagen utilize activated alpha 2 beta 1 and show an overlap in alpha 2 beta 1 residues important for binding.
