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.
Structure Information
PDB ID None
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).
