These vesicles are then competent to undergo Ca2+ mediated fusion with the plasma membrane, in response to neuronal stimulation.
Recent studies have shown that θ-defensins are able to interact with viral gp41 to prevent HIV-1 env mediated fusion with the cytoplasmic membrane by blocking the formation of the six-helix bundle required for viral fusion [30], [31].
SPL7013 inhibited both X4 and R5 envelope mediated fusion with 50% fusion concentrations (FC50 ± standard error) of 0.08±0.02 µM (n = 3) and 0.94±0.19 µM (n = 4), respectively (Figure 4C).
The fusion inhibitor T-20 (enfurvitide) was included as a positive control and inhibited both X4 and R5 mediated fusion with FC50 values of 2.0±0.3 nM and 4±1 nM, respectively while the NNRTI, efavirenz did not inhibit cell-to-cell fusion (Figure S3).
