Complementation of diverse HIV-1 Env defects through cooperative subunit interactions: a general property of the functional trimer

BACKGROUND: The HIV-1 Env glycoprotein mediates virus entry by catalyzing direct fusion between the virion membrane and the target cell plasma membrane. Env is composed of two subunits: gp120, which binds to CD4 and the coreceptor, and gp41, which is triggered upon coreceptor binding to promote the...
