Abstract excerpt
CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and plays important roles in the inflammatory response. In addition, its ligands inhibit the HIV infection. Structural analyses of CCR5 have been hampered by its instability in the detergent-solubilized form. Here, CCR5 was reconstituted into high density lipoprotein (rHDL), which enabled CCR5 to maintain its functions for >24...
