Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transmembrane protein gp41 oligomer anchors the attachment protein, gp120, to the viral envelope and mediates viral envelope-cell membrane fusion following gp120-CD4 receptor-chemokine coreceptor binding. We have used mutation-directed chemical cross-linking with bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate (BS3) to investigate the architecture of the gp41 oligomer. Treatment of gp41...
