[h=3]Abstract[/h] Influenza A virus (IAV) infection is initiated by the attachment of the viral glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA) to sialic acid on the host cell surface. However, the sialic acid-containing receptor crucial for IAV infection has remained unidentified. Here, we show that HA binds to the voltage-dependent Ca[SUP]2+[/SUP] channel Ca[SUB]v[/SUB]1.2 to trigger intracellular Ca[SUP]2+[/SUP] oscillations and subsequent IAV entry and replication. IAV entry was inhibited by Ca[SUP]2+[/SUP] channel blockers (CCBs) or by knockdown of Ca[SUB]v[/SUB]1.2. The CCB diltiazem also inhibited virus replication in vivo. Reintroduction of wild-type but not the glycosylation-deficient mutants of Ca[SUB]v[/SUB]1.2 restored Ca[SUP]2+[/SUP] oscillations and virus infection in Ca[SUB]v[/SUB]1.2-depleted cells, demonstrating the significance of Ca[SUB]v[/SUB]1.2 sialylation. Taken together, we identify Ca[SUB]v[/SUB]1.2 as a sialylated host cell surface receptor that binds HA and is critical for IAV entry.
