Abstract

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 plays critical roles in development, immune function, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry. Here we demonstrate that, like the CC-chemokine receptors CCR5 and CCR2b, CXCR4 is posttranslationally modified by sulfation of its amino-terminal tyrosines. The sulfate group at tyrosine 21 contributes substantially to the ability of CXCR4 to bind its ligand, stromal derived factor 1 alpha. Tyrosine sulfation plays a less significant role in CXCR4-dependent HIV-1 entry than in CCR5-dependent HIV-1 entry. In some cell lines, CXCR4 is efficiently modified by a chondroitin sulfate chain at serine 18, but neither HIV-1 entry nor stromal derived factor 1 alpha binding was affected by loss of this glycosaminoglycan. These data demonstrate a functional role for tyrosine sulfate in the CXC-chemokine receptor family and underscore a general difference in HIV-1 utilization of CCR5 and CXCR4.

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.
