Amyloid fibrils play important roles in HIV-1 infection. We found peptides derived from the HIV-1 gp120 co-receptor binding region, which are defined as enhancing peptides (EPs), could form amyloid fibrils and remarkably enhance HIV-1 infection. EPs bound to the virus and promoted the interaction between HIV-1 and target cells. The antiviral efficacy of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) was substantially impaired in the presence of EPs. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) could both inhibit the formation of fibrils composed of EPs and counteract the EP-mediated enhancement of HIV-1 infection. Our findings identify viral derived amyloid fibrils that hold potential for biochemical applications.Structured summary of protein interactionsEP1andEP1bind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)EP2andEP2bind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)EP3andEP3bind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)SEVIandSEVIbind by fluorescence technology (View interaction)EP1andEP1bind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction)EP2andEP2bind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction)EP3andEP3bind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction)SEVIandSEVIbind by transmission electron microscopy (View interaction)
