T12 1219-1403 Sentence denotes The monosaccharide sialic acid decorates all eukaryotic cell surfaces, capping many different oligosaccharide structures on N-and O-linked glycoproteins as well as on glycolipids [1] .
T13 1404-1551 Sentence denotes Glycans terminating in sialic acid have emerged as a key class of receptors for an impressive number of viruses, many of which are human pathogens.
T14 1552-1695 Sentence denotes The highly pathogenic Influenza A, B and C viruses as well as the human parainfluenzaviruses attach to sialic acids (reviewed in [2] [3] [4] ).
T15 1696-1868 Sentence denotes Coxsackievirus A24 variant and Enterovirus 70, which cause Acute Hemorrhagic Conjunctivitis and have pandemic potential, also attach to sialylated oligosaccharides [5, 6] .
T16 1869-2046 Sentence denotes Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) has been linked to several human D-type Adenoviruses, and one of these has recently been shown to attach to the disialylated GD1a motif [7] .
T17 2047-2216 Sentence denotes The human JC and BK Polyomaviruses (JCV and BKV, respectively) cause a fatal demyelinating disease and kidney graft loss, respectively, in immunocompromised individuals.
T18 2217-2296 Sentence denotes Both viruses use glycans terminating in sialic acid as their receptors [8, 9] .
T19 2297-2609 Sentence denotes Moreover, the recently identified Merkel Cell Polyomavirus, a human oncovirus, likely uses the trisialylated ganglioside GT1b as a receptor [10, 11] , and other mammalian polyomaviruses such as Simian Virus 40 (SV40) and murine Polyomavirus (Polyoma) also bind glycans terminating in sialic acid [12] [13] [14] .
T20 2610-2830 Sentence denotes Most human noroviruses, the causative agents of violent gastrointestinal illnesses, attach to non-sialylated histo-blood group antigens, in contrast to murine norovirus, which binds to a sialylated oligosaccharide [15] .

T22 2945-2998 Sentence denotes Rotaviruses cause severe gastroenteritis in children.
T23 2999-3203 Sentence denotes They have long been classified into strains that can be inhibited by neuraminidase treatment, which cleaves sialic acid from glycan sequences on host cells, and those that are insensitive to it [17, 18] .
T24 3204-3284 Sentence denotes Neuraminidase-insensitive strains were presumed to use non-sialylated receptors.
T25 3285-3449 Sentence denotes Interestingly, the "neuraminidase-insensitive" rotavirus strain Wa was recently shown to attach to the ganglioside GM1, which carries a branching sialic acid [19] .
T26 3450-3563 Sentence denotes Due to its branched structure, this particular carbohydrate is difficult to cleave with neuraminidases [20, 21] .
T27 3564-3702 Sentence denotes SV40 had likewise been presumed to attach to a non-sialylated carbohydrate [22] [23] [24] before GM1 was identified as its receptor [12] .
T28 3703-3890 Sentence denotes Sialic acid therefore has to be considered as a possible receptor component even for viruses whose infectivity cannot be modulated by treatment of cells with commonly used neuraminidases.
T29 3891-4086 Sentence denotes The structure of the most common sialic acid in humans, α-5-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), features four protruding functional groups (carboxylate, hydroxyl, N-acetyl and glycerol functions).
T30 4087-4287 Sentence denotes Compared to more simple monosaccharides, the large number of functional groups enables sialic acids to participate in an unparalleled number of hydrogen bonds, salt bridges and non-polar interactions.
T31 4288-4409 Sentence denotes Since sialic acid is typically located at the terminus of a glycan, its functions are easily accessible for interactions.
T32 4410-4739 Sentence denotes Perhaps it is not surprising, therefore, that the sialic acid itself serves as the major point of contact with the glycan-binding viral attachment protein in all cases where structural information of sufficient resolution is available [8, 13, [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] .
T33 4740-4971 Sentence denotes In this review, we compare binding modes of sialic acids and sialylated receptors in representative structures of virus-receptor complexes in order to derive parameters that guide the recognition of sialic acid and its derivatives.
T34 4972-5181 Sentence denotes Such parameters could be useful for the prediction of new sialic acid binding sites in viral proteins, or of altered modes of sialic acid (and its derivatives) binding in different viral serotypes and strains.
T35 5182-5403 Sentence denotes Several structures of viral attachment proteins in complex with sialylated compounds have been determined recently, providing new insights into viral specificity for glycan receptors [8, 13, [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] 41] .
T36 5404-5635 Sentence denotes Taken together, the known structures now form a large database that is suitable for the closer examination of contacts in order to compare the modes of interaction and attempt to define common principles of sialic acid recognition.
T37 5636-6211 Sentence denotes We have investigated here the mode of Neu5Ac binding for nine different viral attachment proteins ( Fig. 1 ): the hemagglutinins (HAs) of Influenza A and B viruses [26, 34] , the Adenovirus serotype 37 (Ad37) fiber knob [7] , the canine Adenovirus serotype 2 (cAd2) fiber knob [39] , the major capsid proteins VP1 of the polyomaviruses Polyoma [29] , SV40 [13] , and JCV [8] , the attachment protein σ1 of human type 3 orthoreovirus [41] , the attachment protein VP8* of Rhesus Rotavirus [30] , and the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) [31] .
T38 6212-6386 Sentence denotes As the interactions with terminal sialic acid are very similar among different types of Influenza A HAs, the structure of the H3 type [26] was chosen to represent this group.
T39 6387-6662 Sentence denotes In addition, we have also analyzed contacts in the hemagglutinin-esterase-fusion (HEF) protein of Influenza C virus [27] and the hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) proteins of Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) [35] , Bovine Torovirus (BToV) [36] and Porcine Torovirus (PToV) [36] (Fig. 2) .
T40 6663-6772 Sentence denotes These four proteins bind to derivatives of Neu5Ac that are Oacetylated at position 9 or at positions 4 and 9.
T41 6773-7065 Sentence denotes In cases where the attachment protein also has receptor-destroying enzymatic activity, such as in the HN and HE(F) proteins, only the sites that can clearly be attributed to attachment are considered here, thus excluding the dual function neuraminidase site of some HN proteins [32, 42, 43] .
T42 7066-7245 Sentence denotes The investigated viral attachment proteins are, for the most part, not homologous to one another and belong to unrelated viruses that differ in envelope structure and genome type.
T43 7246-7332 Sentence denotes Nevertheless, their interactions with sialic acid display striking similarities (Figs.
T44 7333-7340 Sentence denotes 1, 2) .
T45 7341-7564 Sentence denotes In all complexes, the sialic acid adopts essentially the same conformation, namely a trans conformation of the 5-N-acetyl group and an α-conformation at the anomeric carbon, which is dominant in biological oligosaccharides.
T46 7565-7783 Sentence denotes Interestingly, all attachment proteins, including the ones that bind to O-acetylated compounds, make extensive contacts with one face of the sialic acid ring, while the other face is engaged by only few contacts (Figs.
T47 7784-7794 Sentence denotes 1A, 2A-C).
T48 7795-7921 Sentence denotes A likely reason for this preference is the formation of two key contacts that are formed in all complexes in a similar manner.
T49 7922-8074 Sentence denotes One of these contacts involves the negatively charged carboxylate group, which is most often recognized by two parallel hydrogen bonds or a salt bridge.
T50 8075-8169 Sentence denotes Each of the analyzed proteins donates at least one hydrogen bond to a carboxylate oxygen atom.
T51 8170-8238 Sentence denotes The second contact involves the nitrogen atom in the N-acetyl group.
T52 8239-8325 Sentence denotes With only one exception, all proteins receive a hydrogen bond from this nitrogen atom.
T53 8326-8457 Sentence denotes The spatial arrangement of carboxyl group and the N-acetyl nitrogen thus helps distinguish sialic acids from other monosaccharides.
T54 8458-8597 Sentence denotes Both groups project from the same face of the sialic acid ring, accounting for the preferential binding of this face of the monosaccharide.
T55 8598-8795 Sentence denotes Apart from these two key interactions, the proteins engage in different hydrogen bonding patterns to various hydroxyl groups of the glycerol chain or the ring, or to additional acetyl substituents.
T56 8796-8900 Sentence denotes Neu5Ac reveals that only about 50% of the contact surface of Neu5Ac participates in such contacts (Figs.
T57 8901-8909 Sentence denotes 1A, 2C).
T58 8910-9025 Sentence denotes The resulting shape resembles a rimmed imprint of the binding face of Neu5Ac on the protein surface (Fig. 1A, 2C ).
T59 9026-9126 Sentence denotes In all complexes, van der Waals interactions are formed with the methyl group of the N-acetyl chain.
T60 9127-9239 Sentence denotes However, the different proteins interacting with Neu5Ac sample different epitopes on the Neu5Ac contact surface.
T61 9240-9408 Sentence denotes For example, JCV and SV40 VP1, Rhesus Rotavirus VP8*, and Influenza A HA all center their van der Waals contacts on the glycerol and N-acetyl chains (Fig 1E, F , I, J).
T62 9409-9554 Sentence denotes The surfaces of all four viruses feature subtle protrusions that separate the recessed areas in which the glycerol and N-acetyl chains are bound.
T63 9555-9695 Sentence denotes Polyoma VP1, on the other hand, mainly contacts Neu5Ac from the other side, and does not interact with the glycerol chain at all (Fig. 1B) .
T64 9696-9828 Sentence denotes Examination of the binding surfaces demonstrates that shape complementarity is an important factor in the engagement of sialic acid.
T65 9829-10056 Sentence denotes As the contact areas are quite small and the sialic acids are partially exposed to solvent, adding or removing a single contact can thus have significant effects on the affinity of a given virus for sialic acid or its variants.
T66 10057-10213 Sentence denotes The parent compound of Neu5Ac, neuraminic acid, can feature numerous modifications that give rise to over 40 different known sialic acid variants [44, 45] .
T67 10214-10328 Sentence denotes Several of these modifications are predominantly found on specific cell types and tissues, or in selected species.
T68 10329-10472 Sentence denotes It is perhaps not surprising, therefore, that some viruses exploit this divergence and preferentially recognize sialic acids other than Neu5Ac.
T69 10473-10652 Sentence denotes The database of viral protein structures contains few examples of viruses attaching to O-acetylated Neu5Ac [27, 35, 36] , but their analysis is nevertheless informative (Fig. 2) .
T70 10653-10814 Sentence denotes While the key hydrogen bonds to one face of the sialic acid are the same as described for Neu5Ac, the distribution of van der Waals contacts is somewhat altered.
T71 10815-11065 Sentence denotes In the four complexes, the majority of van der Waals contacts are centered around the unique 9-O-acetyl groups as well as the adjacent side of the N-acetyl group, while the opposite side of the ring does not engage in as many interactions (Fig. 2B) .
T72 11066-11202 Sentence denotes The 9-O-acetyl group inserts deeply into tight-fitting protein cavities, providing selectivity for sialic acids modified in this manner.
T73 11203-11301 Sentence denotes Recognition of different sialic acids is also a likely cause of changes in tropism and host range.
T74 11302-11477 Sentence denotes The interactions of SV40 with GM1 ganglioside containing α-N-5-glycolyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a sialic acid present in simians but not humans, illustrate this point [46] .
T75 11478-11675 Sentence denotes SV40 VP1 features a large pocket near the Neu5Ac N-acetyl group (Fig. 1F, 3B) , and it is tempting to speculate that this pocket serves to accommodate the additional hydroxyl group of Neu5Gc [13] .
T76 11676-11883 Sentence denotes VP1 of the human JCV (Fig. 1E, 3A) , whose sialic acid binding site is largely similar to that of SV40 VP1, features a much smaller pocket that likely prefers the smaller human Neu5Ac over the simian Neu5Gc.
T77 11884-11959 Sentence denotes Sialic acid binding sites are often highly conserved in homologous viruses.
T78 11960-12127 Sentence denotes This is evident when comparing different HA types of Influenza A, the capsid proteins of JCV and SV40 (Fig. 3A, B) , or the HE proteins of PToV and BToV (Fig. 2F, G) .
T79 12128-12283 Sentence denotes In all three cases, the sialic acid engages the two homologous proteins using similar contacts and is therefore bound in the same orientation and position.
T80 12284-12433 Sentence denotes However, at least one example exists where homologous proteins, the Ad37 and cAd2 fiber knobs, bind sialic acid at different locations (Fig. 1C, D) .
T81 12434-12575 Sentence denotes Interestingly, there are several examples of highly homologous proteins that bind sialic acid at the same site but in different orientations.
T82 12576-12751 Sentence denotes The VP1 proteins of Polyoma and SV40, for example, feature a very high level of sequence identity, and they bind sialic acid in generally similar areas on the protein surface.
T83 12752-12839 Sentence denotes However, the orientations of the bound sialic acids differ markedly (Fig. 1B, F) [13] .
T84 12840-13062 Sentence denotes Similarly, Influenza C HEF and BCoV HE bind sialic acid at the same position, but again in different orientations with respect to the proteins and with contacts provided by different structural elements (Fig. 2D, E) [35] .
T85 13063-13191 Sentence denotes These two examples demonstrate the need for caution when modeling interactions with sialic acid based on a homologous structure.
T86 13192-13342 Sentence denotes As sialic acid is ubiquitous at the cell surface, interactions with subsequent carbohydrates are typically employed to define specificity and tropism.
T87 13343-13443 Sentence denotes Glycan microarrays have been highly useful in revealing the determinants of such interactions [47] .
T88 13444-13694 Sentence denotes The critical role of the context of the sialic acid -linkage type, as well as length, sequence and conformational preferences of the remaining oligosaccharide chain -is perhaps best illustrated by its influence on the host range of Influenza viruses.
T89 13695-13910 Sentence denotes Briefly, human Influenza A viruses engage long glycans terminating in α2,6-linked sialic acid that preferentially adopt a bent conformation and that are expressed extensively in the upper airway epithelia of humans.
T90 13911-14058 Sentence denotes Avian strains predominantly recognize shorter glycans that adopt a linear conformation and that often contain α2,3-linked linked sialic acid [48] .
T91 14059-14297 Sentence denotes The vast database on Influenza A HA structures in complex with sialylated ligands, and concurrent glycan array analyses, has been the subject of several excellent recent reviews [2, 3] , and will therefore not be discussed in detail here.
T92 14298-14521 Sentence denotes However, glycan array screening has recently helped to unravel the identities of sialylated glycan receptors for two pathogenic human viruses, and structural biology has defined the nature of interaction in both cases [8] .
T93 14522-14657 Sentence denotes We review below each of these two examples, which illuminate the importance of the context in which the terminal sialic acid is placed.
T94 14658-14746 Sentence denotes Several members of the polyomavirus family use sialylated receptors for cell attachment.
T95 14747-15136 Sentence denotes Crystal structures of two members of the family in complex with their cognate receptors have been determined recently: SV40 VP1 has been crystallized in complex with the oligosaccharide portion of its ganglioside receptor GM1 [13] , whereas the structure of the VP1 protein of human JCV has been solved with the pentasaccharide receptor fragment LSTc (Lacto-series tetrasaccharide c) [8] .
T96 15137-15282 Sentence denotes Both receptors feature terminal Neu5Ac, which is α2,3-linked in the branched GM1 molecule and α2,6-linked in the linear LSTc structure (Fig. 3) .
T97 15283-15383 Sentence denotes In each case, glycan array screening has unequivocally identified the type of the receptor [13, 8] .
T98 15384-15540 Sentence denotes Moreover, although both GM1 and LSTc were present on the arrays, JCV VP1 failed to interact with GM1, and SV40 VP1 also did not recognize the LSTc compound.
T99 15541-15609 Sentence denotes Thus, both proteins are highly specific for their cognate receptors.
T100 15610-15792 Sentence denotes A comparison of the two structures shows that the sialic acid portions of the two receptors form largely equivalent interactions with their respective proteins (Fig. 1E, F; Fig. 3 ).
T101 15793-15925 Sentence denotes The remarkable specificity for each receptor can be attributed to contacts that involve the remaining parts of the oligosaccharides.
T102 15926-16078 Sentence denotes The LSTc compound assumes a bent conformation, forming additional contacts via the N-acetyl group of its third sugar, GlcNAc, to N123 of JCV (Fig. 3A ).
T103 16079-16264 Sentence denotes An α2,3-linked Neu5Ac would not adopt a similarly bent conformation, explaining why sialylparagloboside, which is identical to LSTc except for its α2,3-linked Neu5Ac, does not bind JCV.
T104 16265-16404 Sentence denotes Modeling LSTc into the SV40 VP1 binding site by superimposing the two sialic acid structures suggests that LSTc could be tolerated by SV40.
T105 16405-16556 Sentence denotes However, as the residue equivalent to N123 in JCV is a glycine (G131) in SV40, no favorable contacts to the GlcNAc residue can be generated (Fig. 3B) .
T106 16557-16646 Sentence denotes The inability to form such an interaction most likely explains why SV40 cannot bind LSTc.
T107 16647-16790 Sentence denotes It therefore appears that the formation of a very small number of contacts is largely responsible for defining the specificity of VP1 for LSTc.
T108 16791-16946 Sentence denotes The reverse combination, a GM1 ligand bound to JCV, would likely be disfavored due to steric clashes with JCV VP1 residue S62, which is an alanine in SV40.
T109 16947-17209 Sentence denotes Due to their small contact surfaces and solvent-exposed binding sites, interactions between individual viral attachment proteins and sialylated oligosaccharides are typically of low affinity, with dissociation constants in the millimolar range [13, 28, 49, 50] .
T110 17210-17342 Sentence denotes In many cases, high-affinity adherence to the target cell is achieved through the utilization of several low affinity binding sites.
T111 17343-17431 Sentence denotes However, receptor clustering is not always necessary to achieve higher-affinity binding.
T112 17432-17535 Sentence denotes The interaction of Ad37 with its recently identified glycan receptor GD1a illustrates another strategy.
T113 17536-17690 Sentence denotes It has long been established that Ad37 fiber knobs bind receptors terminating in sialic acid [28, 51] , but the nature of the glycan has remained elusive.
T114 17691-17896 Sentence denotes Glycan array screening has recently revealed that Ad37 fiber knobs specifically recognize the oligosaccharide GD1a, a disialylated compound that features two branches, each terminating in sialic acid [7] .
T115 17897-18167 Sentence denotes A structural analysis of the trimeric Ad37 fiber knob in complex with GD1a established that the two terminal sialic acid residues bind to two different Ad37 fiber knob protomers in an identical manner, thus engaging two of the three possible binding sites [7] (Fig. 4) .
T116 18168-18330 Sentence denotes This bivalent interaction results in a 250-fold higher affinity (Kd = 19 μM) [7] compared to the monovalent sialyllactose-Ad37 knob interaction (Kd = 5 mM) [28] .
T117 18331-18607 Sentence denotes Thus, although each protomer in an Ad37 fiber knob would be able to bind sialic acid attached to different oligosaccharide structures, specificity for GD1a is generated by a multivalent interaction in which two protomers interact with the same receptor in an identical manner.
T118 18608-18814 Sentence denotes It is conceivable that trivalent compounds that engage all three binding sites of the Ad37 fiber knobs would have even higher affinity, thus providing a platform for the development of antiviral inhibitors.
T119 18815-18969 Sentence denotes Using such a strategy, a multivalent inhibitor has been developed that is able to neutralize pentameric shiga-like toxins with very high efficiency [52] .
T120 18970-19120 Sentence denotes A similar strategy could be useful to develop molecules that inhibit viral attachment proteins, which usually occur as multimers at the viral surface.
T121 19121-19241 Sentence denotes A large number of viruses, including many serious human pathogens, uses sialylated oligosaccharides for cell attachment.
T122 19242-19358 Sentence denotes Common principles of interaction can be established by comparing the sialic acid binding modes of different viruses.
T123 19359-19583 Sentence denotes In most cases, interactions between a viral attachment protein and its glycan receptor involve primarily the sialic acid itself, which is bound with a relatively small contact area in a solvent-exposed region of the protein.
T124 19584-19705 Sentence denotes Consistent with this, the affinities of such interactions are, at least in cases where they have been measured, very low.
T125 19706-20009 Sentence denotes Nevertheless, many of the viruses discussed here achieve remarkable specificity for a single type of sialylated oligosaccharide by establishing a small number of auxiliary interactions with functional groups that lie beyond the sialic acid, and by excluding some possible ligands through steric clashes.
T126 20010-20178 Sentence denotes The auxiliary interactions generally involve fewer hydrogen bonds and bury a smaller amount of surface compared to the interactions that involve the sialic acid itself.
T127 20179-20428 Sentence denotes It thus appears that many viruses use the unique properties of sialic acid as a "hook" that allows them to adhere to the cell, and modulate binding in different strains or families by subtly altering structural elements in the vicinity of this hook.
T128 20429-20702 Sentence denotes In a (so far) unique variation of this strategy, the Ad37 knob establishes selectivity for its GD1a glycan receptor by multivalent binding to a single receptor carrying two terminal sialic acid moieties, thus adhering to two identical "hooks" separated by a defined spacer.
T129 20703-20807 Sentence denotes The prominence of sialic acid in viral attachment may form a basis for new approaches to combat viruses.
T130 20808-21028 Sentence denotes Compounds that mimic sialic acid have already proved useful as inhibitors of the Influenza virus neuraminidase [53] and can also efficiently inhibit the receptor-binding site of the Influenza A virus hemagglutinin [54] .
T131 21029-21213 Sentence denotes The structural analysis of the Ad37-GD1a interaction has also led to the design and synthesis of a trivalent compound designed to block attachment of adenoviruses that cause EKC [55] .
T132 21214-21392 Sentence denotes Glycan microarrays have been extraordinarily useful in identifying the correct receptors for many viral proteins [8, 13, 47, 56] , which is a prerequisite for structural studies.
T133 21393-21525 Sentence denotes However, proper interpretation of the information provided by glycan array screening and structural analyses requires affinity data.
T134 21526-21629 Sentence denotes Such data are often difficult to obtain and compare, and they are currently lacking for many complexes.
T135 21630-21847 Sentence denotes Being able to correlate affinity measurements with structural data would significantly advance the design of antiviral agents, and, together with oligosaccharide expression data, help to explain viral tropism. [34] ).

T140 22267-22388 Sentence denotes The oligosaccharides are shown in stick representation and colored by element, with oxygens in red and nitrogens in blue.
T141 22389-22535 Sentence denotes Monosaccharides that approach the protein closer than 4.0 Å are colored in bright orange, while those not contacting the protein are colored gray.
T142 22536-22627 Sentence denotes Oligosaccharide atoms within a 4.0 Å radius around the proteins are highlighted as spheres.
T143 22628-22665 Sentence denotes The protein surface is shown in gray.
T144 22666-22832 Sentence denotes Residues that define the different oligosaccharide specificities of the two proteins are shown as sticks and colored blue and pink for SV40 and JCV VP1, respectively.
T145 22833-22912 Sentence denotes Residues from a different polypeptide chain are denoted with an asterisk. [7] .
T146 22913-23036 Sentence denotes The three different Ad37 fiber knob protomers are shown in surface representation and are colored gray, light red and blue.
T147 23037-23192 Sentence denotes The GD1a glycan is drawn in stick representation, with both Neu5Ac residues highlighted in color (carbons in orange, oxygens in red and nitrogens in blue).
T148 23193-23245 Sentence denotes The bridging glycan residues are shown in dark gray.
T149 23246-23320 Sentence denotes The third binding site (marked by "X") is blocked due to crystal contacts.
