Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and related viruses require coreceptors in addition to CD4 to infect target cells. Some G protein-coupled receptors including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, CCR2b, CCR8, GPR15, Bonzo, GPR1, and V28, have been identified as HIV coreceptors. Among them, CCR5 is a principal coreceptor for macrophage- and dual-tropic HIV-1 strains. CCR5 is required for infection by HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV. The beta-chemokines RANTES, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta are the ligands for CCR5 and prevent infection by macrophage-tropic HIV-1. CCR5 associates with the surface CD4-gp120 of HIV complex and leads to membrane fusion and virus entry of target cells. The amino-terminal domain and the extracellular loops of CCR5 serve as HIV binding sites. Messenger RNA for CCR5 is expressed in lymphoid cells and tissues.
