Ied [31,32]. These compounds, which include the prototypic compound NBD556 and its derivatives, mimic the effects of CD4 by inducing the exposure of the coreceptor-binding site on gp120 [31,33]. Although NBD-556 inhibits HIV-1 infection of CD4+CCR5+ cells, it can replace CD4 and thus enhance HIV-1 infection of CD42CCR5+ cells [31]. In view of their capacity to enhance infectivity, any potential ap

Infection in vitro, this protein was tested for clinical efficacy in HIV-1-infected individuals; however, no effect on plasma viral loads was observed [13]. Further examination revealed that doses of sCD4 that were significantly higher than those achieved in the clinical trial were required to neutralize primary clinical isolates of HIV-1, in contrast to the relatively sensitive, laboratory-adapte

Ion, was used as a negative control. The YU2(Dct) protein has a truncated cytoplasmic tail of 17 amino acids, with a stop codon introduced after Ala 710 (numbered according to current convention [46]). The YU2-GS8 construct is a cleavage-defective form of the YU2 HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins that contains an 8-amino acid glycine-serine linker at the gp120/gp41 junction. Starting with the cytoplasm
Amic changes in conformation and function of the HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins, immediately after engagement of the activating molecules. Using these tools, we found that SCMs inactivate envelope glycoprotein function by an activation-triggered inhibition process, through induction of a metastable activated state.Materials and Methods Reagents and AntibodiesFour-domain sCD4 (molecular weight 50 kDa
