Human CD38 interferes with HIV‐1 fusion through a sequence homologous to the V3 loop of the viral envelope glycoprotein gp120.

Abstract: CD38 is a progression marker in HIV-1 infection, it displays lateral association with CD4, and down-modulates gp120/CD4 binding. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism behind the interplay between CD4, CD38, and HIV-1. We used mouse cell transfectants expressing human CD4 and either CD38 or other CD4-associated molecules to show that CD38 specifically inhibits gp120/CD4 binding. Human cell transfectants expressing truncated forms of CD38 and bioinformatic analysis were used to map the anti-HIV ac… Show more

“…Indeed, CD38 expression partially prevents HIV-1 infection due to the homology between the membrane proximal domain of CD38 and a distinct region of the gp120 HIV-1 envelope protein. 39 The results of the present study may fit the model, indicating that CD38/CXCR4 physiological interactions account for reduced accessibility of CXCR4 to HIV-1, thus limiting infection.…”

“…Although its enzymatic activities and signaling pathway are understood in some detail, the true biologic function exerted in vivo by CD38 remains elusive. Interest in the molecule was refueled by independent reports of its involvement in a heterogeneous number of human diseases, which include HIV infection, 30 diabetes, prostatic carcinoma, acute promyelocytic leukemia, 12 and, most recently, B-CLL. The results of the lateral association experiments between CD79␣ and CD81, CD79␤ and CD81, IgM and CD81, and IgD and CD81, are summarized.…”
