The importance of the N-terminal region of HIV gp120 conserved domain 1 (gp120-C1) to envelope function has been examined by alanine-scanning mutagenesis and subsequent characterization of the mutagenic effects on viral entry; envelope expression, processing, and incorporation; and gp120 association with gp41. With respect to the wild-type gp120, mutational effects on viral entry fall into two classes: functional, as defined by > 20% entry with respect to wild type, and impaired, as defined by < 20% entry with respect to wild type. Based on Western blot analyses of cell lysates and virions, the entry impairment of W35A, V38A, Y39A, Y40A, G41A, V42A, and I52A is due primarily to disruption of envelope processing. The entry impairment of P43A and W45A is apparently due to a combination of effects on processing and incorporation into virions. In contrast, the entry impairment of V44A and F53A is primarily due to disruption of the gp120-gp41 interaction, which results in dissociation of gp120 from the virion. We present a model for gp120-C1 interactions with gp120-C5 and the gp41 disulfide loop in unprocessed gp160 and processed gp120/gp41.
