Oligomeric organization of gp120 on infectious human immunodeficiency virus type 1 particles.

RESUMO
The oligomeric structure of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope glycoprotein (gp120) was examined by treating infectious virions with chemical cross-linking agents and subjecting the protein to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and velocity centrifugation. Immunoblots of cross-linked samples revealed three gp120 bands and an approximately threefold shift in gp120 sedimentation. Our finding of cross-linking solely between gp120 suggests that the gp120 subunits are closely associated in the native envelope structure.
