A conformational change in the hemagglutinin glycoprotein of influenza virus was observed to occur at pH values corresponding to those optimal for the membrane fusion activity of the virus circular dichroism. EM and sedimentation analyses show that, in the pH range 5.2-4.9, bromelain-solubilized hemagglutinin (BHA) aggregates as protein-protein rosettes and acquires the ability to bind both lipid vesicles and nonionic detergent. Trypsin treatment of BHA in the pH 5.0-induced conformation indicates that aggregation is a property of the BHA2 component and that the conformational change also involves BHA1. The implications of these observations for the role of the glycoprotein in membrane fusion are discussed.
