Urea has been used to remove the S1 spike glycopolypeptide from avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains M41 and Beaudette, without removing the S2 spike-anchoring glycopolypeptide. Reduction of the pH to 2.9 did not cause release of S1 although some S1 was released spontaneously from IBV Beaudette at pH 7.4. Virus that lacked S1 was no longer infectious or able to cause haemagglutination (HA). However, radiolabelled IBV that lacked S1 attached to erythrocytes and chick kidney cells to… 

Figures and Tables from this paper

Properties of coronavirus IBV after removal of the S1 subunit of the spike glycoprotein.
TLDR
This work has shown that the mature S is derived by cleavage of a precursor glycoprotein to yield two glycopolypeptides, S1 and S2 of approximately 514 and 625 amino acid residues respectively and that S1 was probably not in the membrane but formed most of the distal, bulbous part of S3.
Binding of Avian Coronavirus Spike Proteins to Host Factors Reflects Virus Tropism and Pathogenicity
TLDR
The data demonstrate that the attachment patterns of the IBV S proteins correlate with the tropisms and pathogenicities of the corresponding viruses.
Recombinant Infectious Bronchitis Coronavirus Beaudette with the Spike Protein Gene of the Pathogenic M41 Strain Remains Attenuated but Induces Protective Immunity
TLDR
There were no consistent differences in pathogenicity between the recombinant BeauR-M41(S) and its apathogenic parent Beau-R and the results are promising for the prospects of S-gene exchange for IBV vaccine development.
Heparan Sulfate Is a Selective Attachment Factor for the Avian Coronavirus Infectious Bronchitis Virus Beaudette
TLDR
Results indicate that HS plays a role as an attachment factor for IBV, working in concert with other factors like sialic acid to mediate virus binding to cells, and may explain in part the extended tropism of IBV Beaudette.
Development and characterization of a recombinant infectious bronchitis virus expressing the ectodomain region of S1 gene of H120 strain
TLDR
Results indicate that rBeau-H120 (S1e) has the potential to be an alternative vaccine against IBV based on excellent propagation property and immunogenicity and replacement of the ectodomain fragment of the IBV Beaudette S1 gene with that from a present field strain is promising for IBV vaccine development.
The Coronavirus Hemagglutinin Esterase Glycoprotein
TLDR
Hemagglutination activity by IBV, as well as by the porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) was probably a cryptic property of the spike protein (Cavanagh and Davis, 1986), and the nature of this hemagglUTinating activity is not well understood.
Neutralization and fusion inhibition activities of monoclonal antibodies specific for the S1 subunit of the spike protein of neurovirulent murine coronavirus JHMV c1-2 variant.
TLDR
Results suggest that MAbs in group B recognized highly conformational epitopes which may be involved in the binding of virions to cellular receptors and the fusion activity of the virus.
Bioinformatics and evolutionary insight on the spike glycoprotein gene of QX-like and Massachusetts strains of infectious bronchitis virus
TLDR
The study demonstrated that spike glycoprotein of the Massachusetts and the QX-like variants of IBV are molecularly distinct and that this may reflect in differences in the behavior of these viruses in vivo.

Coronavirus IBV: structural characterization of the spike protein.
The spike protein (S; surface projection) of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strain M41 comprises two glycopolypeptides, S1 (mol. wt. 90 X 10(3] and S2 (mol. wt. 84 X 10(3], in equimolar
Coronavirus IBV: further evidence that the surface projections are associated with two glycopolypeptides.
The surface projections (peplomers) of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strain M41 have been separated from the nucleocapsid (N) and matrix (M) proteins by sedimentation in a sucrose gradient
An alternative route of infection for viruses: entry by means of the asialoglycoprotein receptor of a Sendai virus mutant lacking its attachment protein.
TLDR
The ability of the HN- virus to cause cell-cell fusion of Hep G2 cells indicated that attachment of this virus to the ASGP-R still permitted viral entry by its usual mode--i.e., membrane fusion at the cell surface.
Monoclonal antibodies to the S1 spike and membrane proteins of avian infectious bronchitis coronavirus strain Massachusetts M41.
TLDR
Four murine hybridoma cell lines which secrete specific antibody to avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strain Massachusetts M41 showed that one (S1) of the two glycopolypeptides associated with the spike protein has a strain-specific region involved in neutralization and haemagglutination.

TLDR
Growth of IBV in chorioallantoic membrane cells labelled with 35S-methionine indicated that most of these polypeptides, and additional ones, some of which were glycosylated, were host components.
Structural analysis of virion proteins of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus
TLDR
Two-dimensional tryptic peptide mapping showed that GP36, GP31, GP28, and P23 comprise a group of closely related proteins which the authors have designated the "P23 family," but that the other proteins are distinct.
Haemagglutination by avian infectious bronchitis virus-a coronavirus.
The haemagglutinating ability of three strains of IBV was investigated. It was shown that whereas strain Beaudette had no detectable haemagglutinin, both Connecticut and Massachusetts agglutinated
