• W3204856327 abstract "ABSTRACT Binding to the receptor, CD4, drives the pretriggered, “closed” (State-1) conformation of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein (Env) trimer into more “open” conformations (States 2 and 3). Broadly neutralizing antibodies, which are elicited inefficiently, mostly recognize the State-1 Env conformation, whereas the more commonly elicited poorly neutralizing antibodies recognize States 2/3. HIV-1 Env metastability has created challenges for defining the State-1 structure and developing immunogens mimicking this labile conformation. The availability of functional State-1 Envs that can be efficiently crosslinked at lysine and/or acidic amino acid residues might assist these endeavors. To that end, we modified HIV-1 AD8 Env, which exhibits an intermediate level of triggerability by CD4. We introduced lysine/acidic residues at positions that exhibit such polymorphisms in natural HIV-1 strains. Env changes that were tolerated with respect to gp120-gp41 processing, subunit association and virus entry were further combined. Two common polymorphisms, Q114E and Q567K, as well as a known variant, A582T, additively rendered pseudoviruses resistant to cold, soluble CD4 and a CD4-mimetic compound, phenotypes indicative of stabilization of the pretriggered State-1 Env conformation. Combining these changes resulted in two lysine-rich HIV-1 AD8 Env variants (E.2 and AE.2) with neutralization- and cold-resistant phenotypes comparable to those of natural, less triggerable Tier 2/3 HIV-1 isolates. Compared with these and the parental Envs, the E.2 and AE.2 Envs were cleaved more efficiently and exhibited stronger gp120-trimer association in detergent lysates. These highly crosslinkable Envs enriched in a pretriggered conformation should assist characterization of the structure and immunogenicity of this labile state. IMPORTANCE The development of an efficient vaccine is critical for combating HIV-1 infection worldwide. However, the instability of the pretriggered shape (State 1) of the viral envelope glycoprotein (Env) makes it difficult to raise neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1. Here, by introducing multiple changes in Env, we derived two HIV-1 Env variants that are enriched in State 1 and can be efficiently crosslinked to maintain this shape. These Env complexes are more stable in detergent, assisting their purification. Thus, our study provides a path to a better characterization of the native pretriggered Env, which should assist vaccine development." @default.
