Effect of naringin on gp120-induced injury mediated by P2X7 receptors in rat primary cultured microglia. [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein 120 has been shown to activate microglia, causing release of inflammatory and toxic factors.

The Lord of the Rings: Cysteine bonds crosslink the tail of siphovirus
Abstract Long, non‐contractile tails composed of helical hexameric protein repeats that assemble into continuous tubular structures characterize siphoviruses. The siphovirus tail tube protein gp39 contains two cysteine residues per monomer. Cryo‐electron microscopy revealed that these cysteines are oriented toward the interface between the rings, which

Transgenic mice expressing HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 in the brain as an animal model in neuroAIDS research [PDF]
HIV-1 infection causes injury to the central nervous system (CNS) and is often associated with neurocognitive disorders. One model for brain damage seen in AIDS patients is the transgenic (tg) mouse expressing a soluble envelope protein gp120 of HIV-1 LAV in the brain in astrocytes under the control of the promoter of glial fibrillary acidic protein ...

Role of CD4 epitopes outside the gp120-binding site during entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [PDF]
CD4 is the primary receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The binding site for the surface glycoprotein of HIV type 1 (HIV-1), gp120, has been mapped to the C'-C" region of domain 1 of CD4. Previously, we have shown that a mutant of rat CD4, in

Heterologous prime-boost-boost immunisation of Chinese cynomolgus macaques using DNA and recombinant poxvirus vectors expressing HIV-1 virus-like particles [PDF]
Background: There is renewed interest in the development of poxvirus vector-based HIV vaccines due to the protective effect observed with repeated recombinant canarypox priming with gp120 boosting in the recent Thai placebo-controlled trial.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

ABSTRACT Lenacapavir and fostemsavir, two recently approved anti‐HIV‐1 agents, are promising options for people with difficult‐to‐treat HIV; however, real‐world data remain limited. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and virological profiles of people receiving combination antiretroviral regimens, including lenacapavir and/or ...
