The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are the two major coreceptors for HIV entry. Numerous efforts have been made to develop a new class of anti-HIV agents that target these coreceptors as an ...

STAGED INVASION: Understanding the role of coreceptors CCR5 and CXCR4 provides a clearer picture of AIDS disease progression, says NIAID's Edward Berger. TAKING AIM: Chemokine receptors provided a ...

This image shows CCR5 side-by-side with alternate HIV co-receptor CXCR4. While the two share similar overall architecture, their binding pockets show important differences in shape and charge ...

Computational analysis of the variations in the HIV-1 genome sequence that correlate with preferential binding to the CCR5 (C-C-motif receptor 5) or CXCR4 (C-X-C motif receptor 4) coreceptors in ...

But will inhibitors aimed at the CCR5 co-receptor force HIV-1 to evolve more virulent forms? Other targets for entry inhibitors include two co-receptors on the cell surface—CCR5 and CXCR4 ...

Once HIV has bound to CD4, it activates other proteins on the surface of the human cell known as CCR5 and CXCR4 in order to complete its fusion with the cell. Once fusion has occurred, the inside of ...
