Quality Statement:
Envelope glycoprotein GP120 (or gp120) is the name of the glycoproteinwhich forms the spikes sticking out of a HIV virus particle. The glycoproteingp120 forms a globular structure, consisting of 25 β strands, five α helicesand ten loops. Each envelope glycoprotein complex is formed by a heterodimerresulting from the non-covalent association of two proteins called gp41 andgp120. Glycoprotein gp41 adopts a transmembrane location, anchored to the viral membrane and behavingas physical support of gp120, the latter being fully located on the externalsurface of the HIV-1 membrane. Both gp41 and gp120 are homotrimeric proteins synthesized from a common single chainpolypeptide precursor gp160, whicheventually is cleaved post-transductionally yielding the mature independent envproteins. The gp120 glycans have been suggested to playan important role in viral transmissionthrough interaction with endogenous lectins able to selectively recognizespecific glycan motifs in HIV-1, such as the C-type lectin DC-SIGN, which isfound on the surfaces of dendritic cells and is thought to aid in the transportof the virus to anatomical sites rich in CD4+T cells. Moreover, theseoligosaccharides are crucial in avoiding an efficient neutralizing antibody response against HIV-1in infected people.
