HIV-1 variants resistant to small molecule CCR5 inhibitors recognize the inhibitor-CCR5 complex, while also interacting with free CCR5. The most common genetic route to resistance involves sequence changes in the gp120 V3 region, a pathway followed when the primary isolate CC1/85 was cultured with the AD101 inhibitor in vitro, creating the CC101.19 resistant variant. However, the D1/86.16 escape mutant contains no V3 changes but has three substitutions in the gp41 fusion peptide. By using CCR5 point-mutants and gp120-targeting agents, we have investigated how infectious clonal viruses derived from the parental and both resistant isolates interact with CCR5. We conclude that the V3 sequence changes in CC101.19 cl.7 create a virus with an increased dependency on interactions with the CCR5 N-terminus. Elements of the CCR5 binding site associated with the V3 region and the CD4-induced (CD4i) epitope cluster in the gp120 bridging sheet are more exposed on the native Env complex of CC101.19 cl.7, which is sensitive to neutralization via these epitopes. However, D1/86.16 cl.23 does not have an increased dependency on the CCR5 N-terminus, and its CCR5 binding site has not become more exposed. How this virus interacts with the inhibitor-CCR5 complex remains to be understood. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the causative agent of AIDS. HIV-1 entry into target cells is triggered by the interaction of the viral envelope glycoproteins with a cell-surface receptor (CD4) and a co-receptor (CCR5), and culminates in fusion of the viral and cell membranes. Small molecule inhibitors that bind to CCR5 are a new class of drug for treating HIV-1-infected people. However, HIV-1 can evolve ways to become resistant to these compounds, by acquiring mutations that alter how its envelope glycoproteins (gp120-gp41) interact with CCR5. In this study, we investigated how two resistant viruses gained the ability to use the inhibitor-bound form of CCR5 through two different mechanisms. In the first virus, four amino acid substitutions in the V3 region of gp120 created an increased dependency on interactions with the CCR5 N-terminus. These changes altered the configuration of gp120, increasing the exposure of antibody epitopes in the V3 region and the CD4i epitope cluster associated with the CCR5 binding site. In contrast, the second virus, which became resistant via three sequence changes in the gp41 subunit, did not become more dependent on the CCR5 N-terminus and remained resistant to neutralization by antibodies against elements of the CCR5 binding site.
