Selected amino acid mutations in HIV-1 B subtype gp41 are Associated with Specific gp120(V3 )signatures in the regulation of Co-Receptor usage

BACKGROUND: The third variable loop (V3) of the HIV-1 gp120 surface protein is a major determinant of cellular co-receptor binding. However, HIV-1 can also modulate its tropism through other regions in gp120, such as V1, V2 and C4 regions, as well as in the gp41 protein. Moreover, specific changes i...
