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 ...

Competition binding assays were carried out with CCR5wt– and CCR5mut–stably transfected L1.2 cells (0.5 × 10 6 cells/well) using 0.15 nM 125 I-labeled CCL5 (2,000 Ci/mmol; Amersham Pharmacia ...

The crystal structure reveals exactly where that binding site is located and how the drug orients itself to exert its activity—blocking HIV’s gp120 surface glycoprotein from binding CCR5.

By binding to it, an HIV protein can fuse to the cell membrane beneath, ultimately digging its way inside the cell. A minority of HIV strains also use the alternate co-receptor CXCR4 instead of CCR5.

The crystallographic determination of the CCR5 receptor has been achieved, providing insights into its allosteric inhibition by Maraviroc, an HIV drug. The CCR5 receptor, which is known to act as ...

It selectively inhibits CCR5 within the chemokine receptor family by binding inside a cavity formed by the transmembrane helices 1, 2, 3 and 7 of the CCR5 receptor (TAK-779 was found to have ...

When RANTES is blocked from binding to CCR5 expressed on immune cells, statistically significant increases of CD8 T-cells were seen as early as 7 days post-therapy.

For the study, Dr. Pestell and colleagues investigated the CCL5/CCR5 axis expression in human breast cancer cell lines and the effect of CCR5 antagonists in vitro and in vivo.

Sep 12, 2013: Molecular structure reveals how HIV infects cells (Nanowerk News) In a long-awaited finding, a team of Chinese and US scientists has determined the high-resolution atomic structure of a ...

The HIV drugs known as CCR5 antagonists may also help prevent aggressive breast cancers from metastasizing, researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson suggest in a preclinical study ...
