Motivation

Virus have a high mutation rate, so our immune system can not always detect mutated viruses. But virus capsid proteins have some specific binding proteins that viruses use to enter into human cells. There are some highly conserved regions on the virus proteins, since mutations of these regions will never be worth it for the viruses since the viruses will not be able to enter human cells and survive.

In our ViroCatcher, we want to express human receptors that interact with HIV. In addition, we have to check the folding of the target receptors, because our receptors from human cells would have to express in bacteria. Eventually, to make contact with receptors of HIV, we have to anchor the receptors on the membrane of our ViroCatcher.

Goal

Use the receptors on human cells that bind to HIV, and put them on our ViroCatcher to catch HIV.

Receptors used to catch HIV

Previous study indicate that HIV absorb T cell and macrophage by their envelope glycoprotein[1,2], and insert a fusion peptide into target cell to change their membrane structure. Changing of membrane structures will help the fusion between the HIV envelope and the target cell membrane. The CD4 receptor of macrophage and T cells are the main target of HIV. HIV attaches onto human cells using their gp120 protein. The binding causes a shift of conformation on gp120 that allows the connection between gp120 and the co-receptor CCR5 or CXCR4[1,2].

We express the two receptors CD4 and CCR5 on our ViroCatcher membrane and use autotransporter system to anchor the receptors on the membrane of our ViroCatcher.
