Abstract excerpt
Crystallographic characterization of a ternary complex containing a monomeric gp120 core, parts of CD4, and a mAb, revealed a region that bridges the inner and outer domains of gp120. In a related genetic study, several residues conserved among primate lentiviruses were found to play important roles in CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) coreceptor utilization, and all but one were mapped to the bridging domain. To...
