Kinetic and structural analysis of mutant CD4 receptors that are defective in HIV gp120 binding

Wu H*, Myszda D G*, Tendian S W, Brouillette C G, Sweet R W, Chaiken I M, Hendrickson W A.  PNAS (1996). PDF

The T-cell antigen coreceptor CD4 also serves as the receptor for the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of HIV. Extensive mutational analysis of CD4 has implicated residues from a portion of the extracellular amino-terminal domain (D1) in gp120 binding. However, none of these proteins has been fully characterized... Read More

Structure of human chorionic gonadotropin at 2.6 Å resolution from MAD analysis of the selenomethionyl protein

Wu H, Lustbader J, Liu Y, Canfield R, Hendrickson W†. Structure (1994). PDF

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the placenta during the early weeks of pregnancy [1]. It stimulates the ovarian corpus luteum to produce progesterone until the placenta itself acquires the ability to produce this pregnancy sustaining steroid. Excess hCG is excreted... Read More

Dimeric association and segmental variability in the crystal structure of human CD4

H Wu, P D Kwong, W A Hendrickson. Nature (1997). PDF

CD4 is a co-receptor in the cellular immune response. It increases the avidity of association between a T cell and an antigen-presenting cell by interacting with non-polymorphic portions of the complex between class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and T-cell receptor (TCR) molecules, and it contributes directly to signal transduction through its cytoplasmic association with the lymphocyte kinase... Read More
