Animal viruses are parasites of animal cells that have characteristics such as heredity and
replication. Viruses can be divided into non-enveloped and enveloped viruses if a lipid …

The HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoproteins play an essential role in the virus replication cycle
by mediating the fusion between viral and cellular membranes during the entry process. The …

Summary The HIV-1-envelope (Env) trimer is covered by a glycan shield of∼ 90 N-linked
oligosaccharides, which comprises roughly half its mass and is a key component of HIV …

The human immunodeficiency virus–type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteins interact with
receptors on the target cell and mediate virus entry by fusing the viral and cell membranes …

The etiological agent of AIDS, LAV/HTLV-III, is common in Central Africa but is not endemic
in other areas of that continent. A novel human retrovirus, distinct from LAV/HTLV-III, has …

Fusion of viral and cellular membranes by the envelope glyco-protein gp120/gp41 effects
entry of HIV-1 into the cell. The precursor, gp160, is cleaved post-translationally into gp120 …

This report describes the structural characterization of the recombinant envelope
glycoprotein (rgp120) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 produced by expression in …

Regulation, recognition and cell signaling involve the coordinated actions of many players.
To achieve this coordination, each participant must have a valid identification (ID) that is …

Interaction with the CD4 receptor enhances the exposure on the human immunodeficiency
type 1 gp120 exterior envelope glycoprotein of conserved, conformation-dependent …

ABSTRACT Anti-HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) antibodies without broadly neutralizing
activity correlated with protection in the RV144 clinical trial, stimulating interest in other …
