Design of a potent D-peptide HIV-1 entry inhibitor with a strong barrier to resistance.

The HIV gp41 N-trimer pocket region is an ideal viral target because it is extracellular, highly conserved, and essential for viral entry. Here, we report on the design of a pocket-specific D-peptide, PIE12-trimer, that is extraordinarily elusive to resistance and characterize its inhibitory and structural properties. D-peptides (peptides composed of D-amino acids) are promising therapeutic age...

Endocytic entry of HIV-1

Enveloped viruses enter target cells by membrane fusion or endocytosis. In the latter case, fusion of the viral envelope is induced by the acidic pH of the endocytic vesicle [1]. As with most other retroviruses, entry of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is thought to be exclusively by pH-independent membrane fusion after interaction of its envelope with CD4 and a chemokine co-receptor on ...

CXCR4/fusin Is Not a Species-specific Barrier in Murine Cells for HIV-1 Entry

Since some murine cells expressing human CD4 fail to internalize HIV-1, another block was thought to be located at the level of viral entry in addition to CD4. Recently, CXCR4 was shown to function as a coreceptor for T cell line-tropic HIV-1 entry. Here we demonstrated that cells expressing murine CXCR4 and human CD4 fused with cells expressing the env proteins derived from T cell line-tropic ...

Are Sunk Costs a Barrier to Entry?

The received wisdom is that sunk costs create a barrier to entry—if entry fails, then the entrant, unable to recover sunk costs, incurs greater losses. In a strategic context where an incumbent may prey on the entrant, sunk entry costs have a countervailing effect: they may effectively commit the entrant to stay in the market. By providing the entrant with commitment power, sunk investments may...

Entry regulation as a barrier to entrepreneurship

Using a comprehensive database of European firms, we study the effect of market entry regulations on the creation of new limited-liability firms, the average size of entrants, and the growth of incumbent firms. We find that costly regulations hamper the creation of new firms, especially in industries that should naturally have high entry. These regulations also force new entrants to be see fron...
