Abstract
Like other integral membrane proteins, the hemagglutinin (HA) as the major glycoprotein of the influenza virus envelope is translated at the rough endoplasmic reticulum and transported from there through the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. In the course of transport, the HA undergoes posttranslational modifications, including removal of the signal peptide, attachment of N-glycosidic oligosaccharide side chains, acylation, and posttranslational proteolytic cleavage of the precursor HA into the fragments HA1 and HA2, which is necessary for the realization of the fusion activity.
