Rokonujjaman M, Sahyouni A, Wolfe R, Jia L, Ghosh U, Weliky DP. A large HIV gp41 construct with trimer-of-hairpins structure exhibits V2E mutation-dominant attenuation of vesicle fusion and helicity very similar to V2E attenuation of HIV fusion and infection and supports: (1) hairpin stabilization of membrane apposition with larger distance for V2E; and (2) V2E dominance by an antiparallel ? sheet with interleaved fusion peptide strands from two gp41 trimers. Biophys Chem. 2023 02; 293:106933.
