Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of an HIV gp120 envelope glycoprotein in complex with the CD4 receptor and a neutralizing human antibody

TL;DR: The structure reveals a cavity-laden CD4–gp120 interface, a conserved binding site for the chemokine receptor, evidence for a conformational change upon CD4 binding, the nature of a CD4-induced antibody epitope, and specific mechanisms for immune evasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The antigenic structure of the HIV gp120 envelope glycoprotein

TL;DR: The spatial organization of conserved neutralization epitopes on gp120 is described, using epitope maps in conjunction with the X-ray crystal structure of a ternary complex that includes a gp120 core, CD4 and a neutralizing antibody.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD4-dependent, antibody-sensitive interactions between HIV-1 and its co-receptor CCR-5.

TL;DR: CD4 binding, although not absolutely necessary for the gp120–CCR-5 interaction, greatly increases its efficiency, and interference with HIV-1 binding to one or both of its receptors (CD4 and CCR-5) may be an important mechanism of virus neutralization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiolipin Polyspecific Autoreactivity in Two Broadly Neutralizing HIV-1 Antibodies

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the two most broadly reactive HIV-1 envelope gp41 human mAbs, 2F5 and 4E10, are polyspecific autoantibodies reactive with the phospholipid cardiolipin, which may have important implications for generating effective neutralizing antibody responses by using HIV- 1 vaccines.
