Abstract

Retrovirus infection is initiated by binding of the viral envelope glycoprotein to a cell-surface receptor. The envelope proteins of type C retroviruses of mammals demonstrate similarities in structural organization and protein sequence. These similarities suggest the possibility that retroviruses from different interference groups might use related proteins as receptors, despite the absence of any relationship between retrovirus receptors isolated to date. To investigate this possibility, we have identified a human cDNA clone encoding a protein closely related to the receptor for gibbon ape leukemia virus and have found that it functions as the receptor for the amphotropic group of murine retroviruses. Expression of this protein (GLVR-2) is likely to be a requirement for infection of human cells by amphotropic retroviral vectors for purposes of gene therapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
