Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) allosteric integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs) offer a vital alternative to standard therapies by targeting noncatalytic sites. By inducing aberrant integrase multimerization, they disrupt viral maturation. This review explores their medicinal chemistry evolution, detailing structural insights, structure–activity ...

A single site for N-linked glycosylation in the envelope glycoprotein of feline immunodeficiency virus modulates the virus-receptor interaction [PDF]
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) targets helper T cells by attachment of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) to CD134, a subsequent interaction with CXCR4 then facilitating the process of viral entry.

The gp120 protein is a second determinant of decreased neurovirulence of Indian HIV-1C isolates compared to southern African HIV-1C isolates. [PDF]
Regional differences in neurovirulence have been documented among subtype/clade-C HIV-1 isolates in India and Southern Africa. We previously demonstrated that a C31S substitution in Clade-C Tat dicysteine motif reduces monocyte recruitment, cytokine ...

Alteration of Methamphetamine-induced stereotypic behaviour in transgenic mice expressing HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 [PDF]
The use of drugs for recreational purposes, in particular Methamphetamine, is associated with an increased risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. HIV-1 infection in turn can lead to HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND) that range from mild cognitive and motor impairment to HIV-associated dementia (HAD). Interestingly, post

Generation and characterization of a bivalent protein boost for future clinical trials: HIV-1 subtypes CR01_AE and B gp120 antigens with a potent adjuvant. [PDF]
The RV144 Phase III clinical trial with ALVAC-HIV prime and AIDSVAX B/E subtypes CRF01_AE (A244) and B (MN) gp120 boost vaccine regime in Thailand provided a foundation for the future development of improved vaccine strategies that may afford protection ...

ABSTRACT HLA loci have been implicated in several diseases, including HIV‐1, from different world populations. It is necessary to characterise HLA allele variation at the population level prior to investigating associations linked to human diseases. In global databases, limited high‐resolution HLA allele types generated by next‐generation sequencing ...

Mutant CD4 Molecules with Improved Binding to HIV Envelope Protein gp120 Selected by Phage Display
Phage-display methodology has been used to select variant CD4 proteins exhibiting increased binding to the surface envelope glycoprotein, gp120, of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1. To facilitate the selection, a library of mutant CD4 proteins was constructed by cloning a PCR-generated error prone population of the first two domains of CD4 into the ...

Signal peptide exchange alters HIV-1 envelope antigenicity and immunogenicity
IntroductionHIV-1 envelope (Env) is the key target for antibodies (Abs) against the virus and thus an important HIV-1 vaccine component. Env is synthesized from a gp160 precursor with a signal peptide (SP) at its N-terminus.
