Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) utilizes CD4 as a primary receptor for viral entry and any of several 7-transmembrane chemokine receptors, including CCR5, as a co-receptor. Previous studies have demonstrated that multiple extracellular domains (ECDs) of CCR5 contribute to co-receptor function; here we applied genetic footprinting to CCR5 to confirm and extend those investigations. In genetic...
