Abstract
Significance

African henipaviruses (HNVs) may be responsible for the misdiagnosis of encephalitis-associated outbreaks of malaria. Host-cell infection by an African HNV relies on the initial interaction between a virally encoded surface glycoprotein and a host-cell receptor. Here, we provide a structural description of how a bat-borne Ghanaian HNV hijacks human ephrinB2 to facilitate cross-species transmission. We demonstrate that, although the Ghanian HNV is sequence dissimilar (<30% sequence identity) and displays a receptor-binding scaffold that differs significantly in structure to pathogenic HNV relatives from Asia, it adopts a nearly identical primary ephrinB2 binding mode. These data provide a molecular-level explanation for previously observed spillover of African HNVs into human populations.
