Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 97:2000;79-84. The poliovirus receptor binds to the characteristic canyon region of the virus, but assumes a different orientation compared with that of the ICAM-1 receptor bound to the rhinovirus. This may be a result of differences in receptor specificity or/and the mechanism of receptor interaction.
