Production of HIV-2 envelope glycoproteins for structural and functional studies
Envelope glycoproteins of HIV-1 (gp160 > gp120/41) and HIV-2 (gp140 > gp105/36) have -40% sequence identity, bind cell surface receptors (CD4 and CCR5 or CXCR4) and effect membrane fusion, suggesting a close structural similarity. HIV-2 gp140 is more stable than HIV-1 gp160 (Sattentau et al.,...
