Super-resolution microscopy reveals specific recruitment of HIV-1 envelope proteins to viral assembly sites dependent on the envelope C-terminal tail [PDF]
The inner structural Gag proteins and the envelope (Env) glycoproteins of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) traffic independently to the plasma membrane, where they assemble the nascent virion. HIV-1 carries a relatively low number of glycoproteins in

Assessment of HIV-1 entry inhibitors by MLV/HIV-1 pseudotyped vectors [PDF]
Background: Murine leukemia virus (MLV) vector particles can be pseudotyped with a truncated variant of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope protein (Env) and selectively target gene transfer to human cells expressing both CD4 and an ...

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

Sequence-Conserved and Antibody-Accessible Sites in the V1V2 Domain of HIV-1 gp120 Envelope Protein [PDF]
The immune-correlates analysis of the RV144 trial suggested that epitopes targeted by protective antibodies (Abs) reside in the V1V2 domain of gp120. We mapped V1V2 positional sequence variation onto the conserved V1V2 structural fold and showed that while most of the solvent-accessible V1V2 amino acids vary between strains, there are two accessible ...

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 ...

Mass Spectrometric Characterization of a Discontinuous Epitope of the HIV Envelope Protein HIV-gp120 Recognized by the Human Monoclonal Antibody 1331A [PDF]
Abstract The characterization of a discontinuous epitope in the C5 region of the HIV envelope protein HIV-gp120, recognized by 1331A, a human mAb, is reported. Regions involved in affinity binding in the HIV-gp120 molecule were identified by epitope excision/extraction methods followed by matrix assisted laser desorption-time of flight ...
