Abstract excerpt
Interaction of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteins with the CCR5 chemokine receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor, triggers a membrane fusion process and virus entry. Cooperation for HIV-1 receptor activity was observed when two forms of CCR5 were coexpressed, either the wild-type (WT) receptor and a defective mutant with deletion of the amino-terminal (NT) extracellular domain or the...
