Abstract
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.

Fig. 2. Structure of the tyrosine-sulfated antibody 412d in complex with HIV-1 gp120 and CD4. (A) Ribbon representation. CD4 is yellow, the heavy chain of Fab 412d is dark blue, the light chain is cyan, and gp120 is gray, except for the V3 loop, which is orange. The CDR H3 loop of 412d is red, with sulfotyrosines depicted in stick representation. (B) Close-up, with molecular surface of gp120 in gray and sulfotyrosines of 412d (red labels) and select residues of gp120 (black labels) in stick representation. Dotted lines represent coordinating hydrogen bonds between gp120 and the sulfate group of Tys100c^412d. The sulfate of Tys 100c^412d makes a full complement of ionic interactions: a salt bridge to Arg 298^gp120 and hydrogen bonds to the side-chain nitrogen of Asn 302^gp120, the side-chain hydroxyl of Thr 303^gp120, and the main-chain amides of 302^gp120, 303^gp120, and 441^gp120 (34).

Fig. 4. A conserved site for binding sulfotyrosine on HIV-1 gp120. (A) Alterations of the V3 base to accommodate binding of sulfotyrosine. The gp120 (gray) region around the V3 loop (orange) is illustrated in ribbon diagram, with an overlying semitransparent surface for unbound (left panel) and bound (right panel) conformations. Binding of the CCR5 N terminus (purple) or the 412d CDR H3 (red), each with two sulfotyrosines (stick representation, with red and purple labels), alters the V3 base, forming a sulfotyrosine binding pocket and a rigid ß-hairpin. (B) Close-up of the conserved sulfotyrosine binding pocket. The orientation shown is similar to that in Figs. 2B and 3B [ 90° from (A) about a diagonal axis, as defined by the long axis of the V3 from (A)]. Tys 14^CCR5 is shown in purple, with Tys 100c^412d in red. Select residues of gp120 are shown in stick representation and labeled in black. Hydrogen bonds coordinating the buried sulfate groups in each are depicted with dotted lines.
