Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infects some cell types which lack CD4, demonstrating that one or more alternative viral receptors exist. One such receptor is galactosylceramide (GalCer), a glycosphingolipid distributed widely in the nervous system and in colonic epithelial cells. Using a liposome flotation assay, we found that the HIV-1 surface glycoprotein, gp120, quantitatively bound to liposomes containing GalCer but not to liposomes containing phospholipids and cholesterol alone. Binding was saturable and was inhibited by preincubating liposomes with anti-GalCer antibodies. We observed less efficient binding of gp120 to liposomes containing lactosylceramide, glucosylceramide, and galactosylsulfate, whereas no binding to liposomes containing mixed gangliosides, psychosine, or sphingomyelin was detected. Binding to GalCer was rapid, largely independent of temperature and pH, and stable to conditions which remove most peripheral membrane proteins. By contrast, gp120 bound to lactosylceramide could be removed by 2 M potassium chloride or 3 M potassium thiocyanate, demonstrating a less stable interaction. Removal of N-linked oligosaccharides on gp120 did not affect binding efficiency. However, as previously observed for CD4 binding, heat denaturation of gp120 prevented binding to GalCer. Finally, binding was critically dependent on the concentration of GalCer in the target membrane, suggesting that binding to glycolipid-rich domains occurs and that GalCer conformation may be important for gp120 recognition.
