Analyses of HIV-1 envelope (Env) binding to CD4, and the conformational changes the interactions induce, inform the molecular mechanisms and factors governing HIV-1 infection. To address these questions, we used a single-molecule detection (SMD) approach to study the nature of reactions between soluble CD4 (sCD4) and soluble HIV-1 trimers. SMD of these reactions distinguished a mixture of one, two, or three CD4-bound trimer species. Single-ligand trimers were favored at early reaction times and ligand-saturated trimers later. Furthermore, some trimers occupied by one sCD4 molecule did not bind additional ligands, whereas the majority of two ligand-bound species rapidly transitioned to the saturated state. Quantification of liganded trimers observed in reactions with various sCD4 concentrations reflected an overall negative cooperativity in ligand binding. Collectively, our results highlight the general utility of SMD in studying protein interactions and provide critical insights on the nature of sCD4-HIV-1 Env interactions.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone., documented September 29, 2016. A workbench tool to make existing population genetic software more accessible and to facilitate the integration of new tools for analyzing patterns of DNA sequence variation, within a phylogenetic context. Collectively, SNAP tools can serve as a bridge between theoretical and applied population genetic analysis. The exploration of DNA sequence variation for making inferences on evolutionary processes in populations requires the coordinated implementation of a Suite of Nucleotide Analysis Programs (SNAP), each bound by specific assumptions and limitations.
