HIV-1 Entry Cofactor: Functional cDNA Cloning of a Seven-Transmembrane, G Protein-Coupled Receptor

TL;DR: A cofactor for HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus-type 1) fusion and entry was identified with the use of a novel functional complementary DNA (cDNA) cloning strategy that is a putative G protein-coupled receptor with seven transmembrane segments.

HIV-1 Entry Cofactor: Functional cDNA Cloning of a Seven-Transmembrane, G Protein–Coupled Receptor

TL;DR: Fusin this article is a putative G protein-coupled receptor with seven transmembrane segments, which enabled CD4-expressing nonhuman cell types to support HIV-1 Env-mediated cell fusion and infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

CC CKR5: A RANTES, MIP-1α, MIP-1β Receptor as a Fusion Cofactor for Macrophage-Tropic HIV-1

TL;DR: Recombinant CC CKR5, a G protein-coupled receptor for these chemokines, rendered CD4-expressing nonhuman cells fusion-competent preferentially with macrophage-tropic Envs, and is thus a fusion cofactor for HIV-1 strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD46 is a cellular receptor for human herpesvirus 6.

TL;DR: It is shown that the two major HHV-6 subgroups (A and B) use human CD46 as a cellular receptor, and the use of a ubiquitous immunoregulatory receptor opens novel perspectives for understanding the tropism and pathogenicity of HHv-6.
