Abstract

The binding of the CD4 receptor by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 exterior envelope glycoprotein is important for virus entry and cytopathic effect. To investigate the CD4-binding region of the gp120 glycoprotein, we altered gp120 amino acids, excluding cysteines, that are conserved among the primate immunodeficiency viruses utilizing the CD4 receptor. Changes in two hydrophobic regions (Thr-257 in conserved region 2 and Trp-427 in conserved region 4) and two hydrophilic regions (Asp-368 and Glu-370 in conserved region 3 and Asp-457 in conserved region 4) resulted in significant reductions in CD4 binding. For most of the mutations affecting these residues, the observed effects on CD4 binding did not apparently result from global conformational disruption of the gp120 molecule, as assessed by measurements of precursor processing, subunit association, and monoclonal antibody recognition. The two hydrophilic regions exhibit a strong propensity for beta-turn formation, are predicted to act as efficient B-cell epitopes, and are located adjacent to hypervariable, glycosylated regions. This study defines a small number of gp120 residues important for CD4 binding, some of which might constitute attractive targets for immunologic intervention.

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.
