Gp120 on HIV-1 Virions Lacks O-Linked Carbohydrate
As HIV-1-encoded envelope protein traverses the secretory pathway, it may be modified with N- and O-linked carbohydrate. When the gp120s of HIV-1 NL4-3, HIV-1 YU2, HIV-1 Bal, HIV-1 JRFL, and HIV-1 JRCSF were expressed as secreted proteins, the threonine at consensus position 499 was found to be O-glycosylated. For SIVmac239, the corresponding threonine was also glycosylated when gp120 was recom...
متن کاملPatterns of conserved gp120 epitope presentation on attached HIV-1 virions
A complete picture of HIV antigenicity during early replication is needed to elucidate the full range of options for controlling infection. Such information is frequently gained through analyses of isolated viral envelope antigens, host CD4 receptors, and cognate antibodies. However, direct examination of viral particles and virus-cell interactions is now possible via advanced microscopy techni...
متن کاملQuantitative Correlation between Infectivity and Gp120 Density on HIV-1 Virions Revealed by Optical Trapping Virometry.
The envelope glycoprotein (Env) gp120/gp41 is required for HIV-1 infection of host cells. Although in general it has been perceived that more Env gives rise to higher infectivity, the precise quantitative dependence of HIV-1 virion infectivity on Env density has remained unknown. Here we have developed a method to examine this dependence. This method involves 1) production of a set of single-cy...
متن کاملAn oligosaccharide-based HIV-1 2G12 mimotope vaccine induces carbohydrate-specific antibodies that fail to neutralize HIV-1 virions.
The conserved oligomannose epitope, Man(9)GlcNAc(2), recognized by the broadly neutralizing human mAb 2G12 is an attractive prophylactic vaccine candidate for the prevention of HIV-1 infection. We recently reported total chemical synthesis of a series of glycopeptides incorporating one to three copies of Man(9)GlcNAc(2) coupled to a cyclic peptide scaffold. Surface plasmon resonance studies sho...
متن کاملProgress in HIV-Carbohydrate Interactions: Infectivity of CCR5-Tropic HIV-1 is Enhanced by GP120 from CXCR4-Tropic Virus
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 is highly variable and utilizes two independent pathways, one via the CCR5 coreceptor and the other via CXCR4 to enter CD4+ cells. Both virus types can simultaneously be found in HIV-1-infected patients and the shift to a majority of CXCR4-tropic viruses is an indication for the development of AIDS-related symptoms. It is thought that each virus type will inf...
