Elicitation of potent and broadly neutralizing antibodies is an important, goal in designing an effective human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), vaccine. The HIV-1 gp41 inner-core trimer represents a functionally and, structurally conserved target for therapeutics. Here we report the, 2.0-A-resolution crystal structure of the complex between the, antigen-binding fragment of D5, an HIV-1 cross-neutralizing antibody, and, 5-helix, a gp41 inner-core mimetic. Both binding and neutralization depend, on residues in the D5 CDR H2 loop protruding into the conserved gp41, hydrophobic pocket, as well as a large pocket in D5 surrounding core gp41, residues. Kinetic analysis of D5 mutants with perturbed D5-gp41, interactions suggests that D5 persistence at the fusion intermediate is, crucial for neutralization. Thus, our data validate the gp41 N-peptide, trimer fusion intermediate as a target for neutralizing antibodies and, provide a template for identification of more potent and broadly, neutralizing molecules.

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HIV-1 NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODY D5 FAB BOUND TO THE GP41 INNER-CORE MIMETIC 5-HELIX

Overview

Elicitation of potent and broadly neutralizing antibodies is an important goal in designing an effective human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) vaccine. The HIV-1 gp41 inner-core trimer represents a functionally and structurally conserved target for therapeutics. Here we report the 2.0-A-resolution crystal structure of the complex between the antigen-binding fragment of D5, an HIV-1 cross-neutralizing antibody, and 5-helix, a gp41 inner-core mimetic. Both binding and neutralization depend on residues in the D5 CDR H2 loop protruding into the conserved gp41 hydrophobic pocket, as well as a large pocket in D5 surrounding core gp41 residues. Kinetic analysis of D5 mutants with perturbed D5-gp41 interactions suggests that D5 persistence at the fusion intermediate is crucial for neutralization. Thus, our data validate the gp41 N-peptide trimer fusion intermediate as a target for neutralizing antibodies and provide a template for identification of more potent and broadly neutralizing molecules.
