Analysis of cyclin D 1 transcript levels in podocytes infected with HIV-1 singly mutated with premature stop codons in the genes encoding the various structural and regulatory proteins of HIV-1 (except tat , which is present in every virus) showed that nef -deficient virus did not significantly up-regulate cyclin D 1 expression when compared to the other mutant viruses (Figure 5).
Earlier studies describing the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in the HIV-1 inhibitory effect of the candidate microbicide CAP indicated that this compound remains bound to HIV-1, impairing virus infectivity by blockade of binding sites for cellular coreceptors CXCR4 and CCR5 [ 8 ] . Results reported here further extend these findings and show that: 1) there is synergism between sCD4 and CAP for inhibition of virus infectivity; 2) CAP binding to HIV-1 leads to conformational changes in viral envelope glycoproteins resulting in the expression of functionally inert six-helix bundle structures.
