Substitutions in a Homologous Region of Extracellular Loop 2 of
CXCR4 and CCR5 Alter Coreceptor Activities for HIV-1 Membrane Fusion
and Virus Entry*

CXCR4 and CCR5 are the principal coreceptors for
human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection. Previously,
mutagenesis of CXCR4 identified single amino acid changes that either
impaired CXCR4's coreceptor activity for CXCR4-dependent
(X4) isolate envelope glycoproteins (Env) or expanded its activity,
allowing it to serve as a functional coreceptor for
CCR5-dependent (R5) isolates. The most potent of these
point mutations was an alanine substitution for the aspartic acid
residue at position 187 in extracellular loop 2 (ecl-2), and here we
show that this mutation also permits a variety of primary R5 isolate
Envs, including those of other subtypes (clades), to employ it as a
coreceptor. We also examined the corresponding region of CCR5 and
demonstrate that the substitution of the serine residue in the
homologous ecl-2 position with aspartic acid impairs CCR5 coreceptor
activity for isolates across several clades. These results highlight a
homologous and critical element in ecl-2, of both the CXCR4 and CCR5
molecules, for their respective coreceptor activities. Charge
elimination expands CXCR4 coreceptor activity, while a similar charge
introduction can destroy the coreceptor function of CCR5. These
findings provide further evidence that there are conserved elements in
both CXCR4 and CCR5 involved in coreceptor function.
