Highly efficient production of HIV-1AD8 gp120 in mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteins (Envs) interact with the CD4 receptor and CCR5/CXCR4 coreceptor expressed on target cells to mediate viral entry. Infection is initiated when the HIV-1 gp120 subunit of Envs binds to host

The influence of N-linked glycans on the molecular dynamics of the HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
N-linked glycans attached to specific amino acids of the gp120 envelope trimer of a HIV virion can modulate the binding affinity of gp120 to CD4, influence coreceptor tropism, and play an important role in neutralising antibody responses.

HIV envelope antigen valency on peptide nanofibers modulates antibody magnitude and binding breadth

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
A major challenge in developing an effective vaccine against HIV-1 is the genetic diversity of its viral envelope. Because of the broad range of sequences exhibited by HIV-1 strains, protective antibodies must be able to bind and neutralize a widely ...

Discovery of O-Linked Carbohydrate on HIV-1 Envelope and Its Role in Shielding against One Category of Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Approximately 50% of the mass of the Envelope (Env) glycoprotein surface subunit (gp120) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is composed of N-linked carbohydrate. Until now, the dogma has been that HIV-1 lacks O-linked carbohydrate on

Human immunodeficiency virus envelope protein Gp120 induces proliferation but not apoptosis in osteoblasts at physiologic concentrations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Patients with HIV infection have decreased numbers of osteoblasts, decreased bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture compared to uninfected patients; however, the molecular mechanisms behind these associations remain unclear.

Cellulose acetate phthalate, a common pharmaceutical excipient, inactivates HIV-1 and blocks the coreceptor binding site on the virus envelope glycoprotein gp120 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
BACKGROUND: Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), a pharmaceutical excipient used for enteric film coating of capsules and tablets, was shown to inhibit infection by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and several herpesviruses. CAP formulations

X4 Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 promotes human hepatic stellate cell activation and collagen I expression through interactions with CXCR4. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Patients coinfected with HIV-1 and HCV develop more rapid liver fibrosis than patients monoinfected with HCV. HIV RNA levels correlate with fibrosis progression implicating HIV directly in the fibrotic process.

HIV-1 inhibitory properties of eCD4-Igmim2 determined using an Env-mediated membrane fusion assay. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) entry is dependent on the envelope glycoprotein (Env) that is present on the virion and facilitates fusion between the envelope and the cellular membrane.
