Ligation of CCR5 by the CC chemokines RANTES, MIP-1 ␣ or MIP-1  , and of CXCR4 by the CXC chemokine SDF-1 ␣ , profoundly inhibits the replication of HIV strains that use these coreceptors for entry into CD4 ϩ T lymphocytes. The mechanism of entry inhibition is not known. We found a rapid and extensive downregulation of CXCR4 by SDF-1 ␣ and of CCR5 by RANTES or the antagonist RANTES(9-68). Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that CCR5 and CXCR4, after binding to their ligands, are internalized into vesicles that qualify as early endosomes as indicated by colocalization with transferrin receptors. Inter-nalization was not affected by treatment with Bordetella pertussis toxin, showing that it is independent of signaling via G i-proteins. Removal of SDF-1 ␣ led to rapid, but incomplete surface reexpression of CXCR4, a process that was not inhibited by cycloheximide, suggesting that the coreceptor is recycling from the internalization pool. Deletion of the COOH-terminal, cy-toplasmic domain of CXCR4 did not affect HIV entry, but prevented SDF-1 ␣ –induced receptor downregulation and decreased the potency of SDF-1 ␣ as inhibitor of HIV replication. Our results indicate that the ability of the coreceptor to internalize is not required for HIV entry , but contributes to the HIV suppressive effect of CXC and CC chemokines. E xpression of CD4 is necessary but not sufficient for productive infection of human cells with HIV (1, 2). The existence of an additional recognition site was postulated several years ago (3–4), and it was recently shown that some chemokine receptors fulfill such a function (5–10). CXCR4 and CCR5 are the major HIV coreceptors (5–7, 10), although similar functions were also reported for CCR2b and CCR3 (8, 9). It has been shown that the CC chemokines, RANTES, MIP-1 ␣ , and MIP-1  , which are agonists for CCR5, inhibit entry of primary, non-syncy-tium–inducing (NSI) strains that are preferentially isolated at early stages of the infection (11). The CXC chemokine, SDF-1 ␣ , the ligand of CXCR4, inhibits cell fusion and infection by HIV strains of the syncytium-inducing (SI) phenotype that are usually isolated at late, symptomatic stages of the disease (12, 13). Chemokines act via seven-transmembrane domain receptors that couple to heterotrimeric G i-proteins. Their anti-viral activity is thought to depend on competition for the binding of the HIV envelope (Env) glycoprotein gp120 to chemokines receptors (14, 15). It has been reported that mere occupancy …
