Abstract excerpt
The importance of the HIV gp120 conserved domain 5 (gp120-C5) to envelope function has been examined by alanine scanning mutagenesis and subsequent characterization of the mutagenic effects on viral entry and envelope expression, processing, and incorporation, as well as gp120 association with gp41. With respect to the wild-type gp120, mutational effects on viral entry fall into three classes: (1) functional...
