Binding Target  Not Found

Mechanism  These peptides act by preventing oligomerization of the HIV transmembrane glycoprotein gp41, or by interfering with interactions between gp41 and the envelope glycoprotein gp120, the cell membrane or membrane-bound proteins.binding siamycin II or siamycin I may play a crucial role in blocking interactions between HIV and the T-cell surface, an essential step in the fusion process.

Linear/Cyclic  Cyclic

N-terminal Modification  Amidation

C-terminal Modification  Free

Other Modification  It differs from Siamycin I only by one amino acid. Siamycin I has a valine residue at position 4. In both peptides, disulfide bonds link Cys1 with Cys13 and Cys7 with Cys19, and the side chain of Asp9 forms an amide bond with the N-terminus (XXJ).
