Human noroviruses (NoV) are a leading cause of gastroenteritis globally, yet host factors required for NoV infection are poorly understood. We identified host molecules essential for murine NoV (MNoV) induced cell death including CD300lf as a proteinaceous receptor. CD300lf is essential for MNoV binding and replication in cell lines and primary cells. Additionally, Cd300lf−/− mice are resistant to MNoV infection. Expression of CD300lf in human cells breaks the species barrier restricting MNoV replication. The crystal structure of the CD300lf ectodomain revealed a potential ligand binding cleft composed of residues critical for MNoV infection. Therefore, the presence of a proteinaceous receptor is the primary determinant of MNoV species tropism while other components of cellular machinery required for NoV replication are conserved between humans and mice.
