Structure of an HIV gp120 envelope glycoprotein in complex with the CD4 receptor and a neutralizing human anti-body
Introduction
- HIV destroys CD4+ lymphocytes
Basic Structure
- Viral envelope (responsible for entry of HIV to host cells)has glycoproteins which contain oligomeric spikes, trimeric spikes on the surface
- gp41 (transmembrane envelope glycoprotein) anchors the spikes in the viral membrane
- spike surface made of gp120 (exterior envelope glycoprotein) which have non-covalent interactions with each subunit of trimeric gp41 complex
- 5 variable regions
- 1-4 form loops exposed to the surface which are bonded at their bases by disulfide bonds.
