Gene Information

human ... CCR5(1234)

General description

HIV and related viruses require coreceptors, in addition to CD4, to infect target cells. Some G-protein-coupled receptors including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, CCR2b and CCR8 in the chemokine receptor family, and four new human molecules GPR15, STRL33, GPR1 and V28 were recently identified as HIV coreceptors (1,2). Among them, CCR5 is a principle coreceptor for macrophage- and dual-tropic HIV-1 strains fusion of entry of human white blood cells (3,4). The amino-terminal domain and the extracellular loops of CCR5 serve as HIV binding sites. CCR5 messenger RNA is expressed in lymphoid organs and monocytes.

Specificity

Specific for human C-C Chemokine Receptor 5 (CCR5) at the N-terminus.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal domain of human CCR5.

The beta-chemokines MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta and RANTES inhibit infection of CD4+ T cells by primary, non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) HIV-1 strains at the virus entry stage, and also block env-mediated cell-cell membrane fusion. CD4+ T cells from some HIV-1-exposed uninfected individuals cannot fuse

Nature, 381(6584), 661-666 (1996-06-20)
Entry of HIV-1 into target cells requires cell-surface CD4 and additional host cell cofactors. A cofactor required for infection with virus adapted for growth in transformed T-cell lines was recently identified and named fusin. However, fusin does not promote entry
