|Prompt= Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), unique in structure when compared to other retroviruses, is spherical with a diameter of approximately 120 nm, surrounded by a viral envelope composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which forms when the virion buds from the infected cell. HIV is a diploid virus composed of positive single-stranded RNA, coding for 9 viral genes. Two proteins on the surface of the viral envelope are derived from the env gene, which is essential for viral tropism. Which of the following represent the protein required for viral attachment and entry, respectively?

Two proteins on the surface of the viral envelope are derived from the ''env'' gene, which is essential for viral tropism. Which of the following proteins are required for viral attachment to host T-cell and entry, respectively?
|Explanation= The [[HIV]] viral structure is an important determinant of tissue tropism. [[HIV]] infects a variety of immune cells by binding to either CCR5 or CXCR4. In order to infect these cells, both attachment and fusion/entry need to occur. The viral spike of the HIV virus, responsible for infection, is composed of 3 gp120 glycoproteins and 3 gp41 molecules that are non-covalently linked. Surface glycoproteins, gp120 and gp41, are derived from the cleavage of gp160, encoded by the env gene. The initial interaction between gp120 and CD4 leads to a conformational change, which exposes a new binding site for CCR5 or CXCR4. Induced in gp41, the subsequent conformational change, termed entry, results in the fusion of both membranes and the release of the viral capsid.
