==Overview==
The CCR5 co-receptor binds to the HIV-1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein and, facilitates HIV-1 entry into cells. Its N terminus is tyrosine-sulfated, as are many antibodies that react with the co-receptor binding site on, gp120. We applied nuclear magnetic resonance and crystallographic, techniques to analyze the structure of the CCR5 N terminus and that of the, tyrosine-sulfated antibody 412d in complex with gp120 and CD4. The, conformations of tyrosine-sulfated regions of CCR5 (alpha-helix) and 412d, (extended loop) are surprisingly different. Nonetheless, a critical, sulfotyrosine on CCR5 and on 412d induces similar structural, rearrangements in gp120. These results now provide a framework for, understanding HIV-1 interactions with the CCR5 N terminus during viral, entry and define a conserved site on gp120, whose recognition of, sulfotyrosine engenders posttranslational mimicry by the immune system.
