function in V3 domain
Levels of Protein Organization Affect
Overall Function
• Primary Structure
– The number and sequence of
amino acids
• Secondary Structure
– Alpha Helices
– Beta-pleated Sheets
• Tertiary Structure
– 3-D shape of structure
• Quaternary Structure
– Intra-protein interactions

Mutations in DNA Sequence Can
Affect Tertiary Protein Structure
• Central Dogma:
DNARNAProtein
Example:
• Sickle Cell Anemia
– Single point mutation
changes Glutamic acid
(hydrophilic) to Valine
(hydrophobic)
– Results in dysfunctional
folding of Hemoglobin A

Determining the Effects of Amino Acid
Alterations in Conserved Sequences
• Analysis of sequences from Markham et. al
study confirmed the presence of highly
conserved regions in the V3 loop of gp120
• Kwong et. al study hypothesize the
conserved regions were necessary for viral
cell entry
• Our question: Will amino acid mutations in
conserved regions of amino acids
alter/disrupt the function of the protein

Phenylalanine Substitution at Position Six
does not Interfere with CD4 interactions
• Needs to be directly touching CD4
• Polar to Hydrophobic change, but located on the
surface which doesn’t significantly affect structure
Threonine to Serine Substitution at Position
Ten has minimal affect on Structure
• Serine and Threonine both have hydroxyl's on their
side chain making them structurally similar
• The residue substitutions on the surface don’t affect
structure significantly
At position twenty the substitution from
Leucine to Proline May Affects the -sheet
• The amino acid sequence is buried in the peptide
• The direction and nature of the Beta turn can be
altered
Amino Acid Substitution Serine to Alanine at
Position Twenty-three has Minimal Affect
• Serine and Alanine are very similar in size
• The residue is located on the surface of the protien
-sheet Is Unaffected by Amino Acid
Substitution to Glycine at Position Twenty-five
• B-pleated Sheets are very forgiving
• Glycine is more likely to affect Alpha helices
• The residue is located on the surface of the protien
Alpha Helices May be Affected by Substituting
Glycine to Arginine at Position Forty-three
• Lysine to Arginine
substitution is small
uncharged to bulky
positive charge
• The residue is
located on the
surface of the
protein structure
Post-Transcriptional modifications likely occur at
common amino acid sequences in Kwong’s sequence
• N-Glycosylation
– Typical Sequence = Asn-X-Ser or Asn-X-Thr
– Important in folding and cell-cell interaction
• Phosphorylation
– Increases energy so that the protein can undergo subsequent
reactions spontaneously
– Charged amino acids at the N-terminus affect phosphorylation
rate
– Position 25 mutation (Glutamic acid  Glycine/Valine) is at the
C-terminus of the acceptor site, thus not affecting function
Mutations in un-conserved regions of the V3 Domain
do not greatly affect function of gp120
• The structure of the V3 domain remains relatively
unaffected by un-conserved mutations
• The location of the V3 domain may serve as a
defense to mutational changes
• Analysis of the other domains of gp120 may better
suit our investigation
Conserved Elements Between gp120 and
gp41 May Play Large Role in Viral Entry
• Conformational changes in
gp120 affect drug and antibody
neutralization
• The association between
gp120 and gp41 plays a role in
determining
• Defined elements between
gp120 and gp41 provides
conformational diversity
necessary for viral entry
• Pancera et. al
