In an attempt to determine which amino acid(s) of LD78β, a variant of human macrophage inflammatory protein-1α, plays a critical role in the interaction with CCR5, we generated six LD78β variants with an amino acid substituted to Ala at the NH2 terminus of LD78β. There was no significant difference in eliciting Ca2+ flux and chemotaxis among the variants with the exception of LD78βT9A showing a substantially reduced activity. The comparative order for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication inhibition was: LD78βP8A > LD78βD6A > LD78βWT, LD78βL3A > LD78βT7A, LD78βP2A > LD78βT9A. In binding inhibition assays of LD78β variants using 2D7 monoclonal antibody and 125I-labeled macrophage inflammatory protein-1α, the comparative order was: LD78βP8A, LD78βD6A > LD78βWT> LD78βL3A > LD78βT7A > LD78βT9A, LD78βP2A. The order for CCR5 down-regulation induction was comparable to that for binding inhibition. The present data suggest that Pro-2, Asp-6, Pro-8, and Thr-9 are critical for LD78β binding to CCR5 and HIV-1 replication inhibition, and that LD78β binding to CCR5, regardless of affinity, is sufficient for the initial signal transduction of LD78β, whereas the greater anti-HIV-1 activity requires the greater magnitude of binding. The data also suggest that LD78β variants with appropriate amino acid substitution(s) such as LD78βD6Aand LD78βP8A may represent effective chemokine-based anti-HIV-1 therapeutics while preserving LD78β-CCR5 interactions.
