Efforts to understand the molecular basis of
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein function have
been hampered by the inability to generate sufficient quantities of
homogeneous material. We now report on the high level expression,
purification, and characterization of soluble HIV gp140 ectodomain
proteins in Chinese hamster ovary-Lec3.2.8.1 cells. Gel
filtration and analytical ultracentrifugation show that the uncleaved
ADA strain-derived gp140 proteins are trimeric without further
modification required to maintain oligomers. These spike proteins are
native as judged by soluble CD4 (sCD4) (KD = 1-2
nM) and monoclonal antibody binding studies using surface
plasmon resonance. CD4 ligation induces conformational change in the
trimer, exposing the chemokine receptor binding site as assessed by 17b
monoclonal antibody reactivity. Lack of anti-cooperativity in sCD4-ADA
trimer interaction distinct from that observed with sCD4-SIV mac32H
implies quaternary structural differences in ground states of their
respective spike proteins.
