HIV-1 gp120 determinants proximal to the CD4 binding site shift protective glycans that are targeted by monoclonal antibody 2G12.
HIV-1 R5 envelopes vary considerably in their capacities to exploit low CD4 levels on macrophages for infection and in their sensitivities to the CD4 binding site (CD4bs) monoclonal antibody (MAb) b12 and the glycan-specific MAb 2G12. Here, we show that nonglycan determinants flanking the CD4 binding loop, which affect exposure of the CD4bs, also modulate 2G12 neutralization. Our data indicate ...
متن کاملBinding of the mannose-specific lectin, griffithsin, to HIV-1 gp120 exposes the CD4-binding site.
The glycans on HIV-1 gp120 play an important role in shielding neutralization-sensitive epitopes from antibody recognition. They also serve as targets for lectins that bind mannose-rich glycans. In this study, we investigated the interaction of the lectin griffithsin (GRFT) with HIV-1 gp120 and its effects on exposure of the CD4-binding site (CD4bs). We found that GRFT enhanced the binding of H...
متن کاملThe N276 Glycosylation Site Is Required for HIV-1 Neutralization by the CD4 Binding Site Specific HJ16 Monoclonal Antibody
Immunogen design for HIV-1 vaccines could be based on epitope identification of naturally occurring neutralizing antibodies in infected patients. A tier 2 neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb), HJ16 recognizes a new epitope in the CD4 binding site (CD4bs) region that only partially overlaps with the b12 epitope. We aimed to identify the critical binding site by resistance induction in a sensit...
متن کاملPeptides presenting the binding site of human CD4 for the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120
Based on the structure of the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 in complex with its cellular receptor CD4, we have designed and synthesized peptides that mimic the binding site of CD4 for gp120. The ability of these peptides to bind to gp120 can be strongly enhanced by increasing their conformational stability through cyclization, as evidenced by binding assays, as well as through molecular-dynamics sim...
متن کاملCrystal Structures of HIV-1 gp120 Envelope Glycoprotein in Complex with NBD Analogues That Target the CD4-Binding Site
Efforts to develop therapeutic agents that inhibit HIV-1 entry have led to the identification of several small molecule leads. One of the most promising is the NBD series, which binds within a conserved gp120 cavity and possesses para-halogen substituted aromatic rings, a central oxalamide linker, and a tetramethylpiperidine moiety. In this study, we characterized structurally the interactions ...
