Influenza viruses are enveloped, negative sense single-stranded RNA viruses covered in a dense layer of glycoproteins. Hemagglutinin (HA) accounts for 80-90% of influenza glycoprotein and plays a role in host cell binding and membrane fusion. While previous studies have characterized structures of receptor-free and receptor-bound HA in vitro, the effect of receptor binding on HA organization and structure on virions remains unknown. Here, we used cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) to visualize influenza virions bound to a sialic acid receptor mimic. Overall, receptor binding did not result in significant changes in viral morphology; however, we observed rearrangements of HA trimer organization and orientation. Compared to the even inter-glycoprotein spacing of unliganded HA trimers, receptor binding promotes HA trimer clustering and formation of a triplet of trimers. Subtomogram averaging and refinement yielded 8-10 ? reconstructions that allowed us to visualize specific contacts between HAs from neighboring trimers and identify molecular features that mediate clustering. Taken together, we present new structural evidence that receptor binding triggers clustering of HA trimers, revealing an additional layer of HA dynamics and plasticity.
