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 β-Chemokine Receptors CCR3 and CCR5 Facilitate Infection by Primary HIV-1 Isolates

TL;DR: The ability of various members of the chemokine receptor family to support the early stages of HIV-1 infection helps to explain viral tropism and beta-chemokine inhibition of primary HIV- 1 isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lymphocyte chemoattractant SDF-1 is a ligand for LESTR/fusin and blocks HIV-1 entry.

TL;DR: Testing of potential receptors demonstrated that SDF-1 signalled through, and hence 'adopted', the orphan receptor LESTR, which is therefore designated CXC-chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR-4).
Journal ArticleDOI

The cytoplasmic body component TRIM5alpha restricts HIV-1 infection in Old World monkeys.

TL;DR: Host cell barriers to the early phase of immunodeficiency virus replication explain the current distribution of these viruses among human and non-human primate species and reveal host cell components that modulate the uncoating of a retroviral capsid.
Journal ArticleDOI

The HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins: fusogens, antigens, and immunogens.

TL;DR: The human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteins interact with receptors on the target cell and mediate virus entry by fusing the viral and cell membranes.
