Description

PRPTIDRS FOR PRRVINTION OF THR INTERACTION BREN RIV-1 AND ITS MAJOR FUSIN AND CC-CKR-5 CO-RSCBPTORS This invention relates to peptide sequences derived from the second conserved domain of HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein 120, from fusin receptor or from CC-CKR-5.
Backaround of the invention The first step in infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-l) involves the binding of its major envelope glycoprotein gp 120 to the CD4 receptor. The CD4 receptor alone is, however, not sufficient for viral penetration of target cells.
Recently, two major coreceptors for primary isolates of HIV-1 were identified. For the "macrophage-tropic" isolates of HIV-1 the CC-CKR-5 molecule, representing a receptor for the ss-chemokines RANTES, MIP-la and MIP-1ss, was identified as major co-receptor [Deng et al., Nature it1, 661 (1996); Dragic et al., ibid, 667). As the major co-receptor for the fusin, a seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptor, was identified Fenf et al., Science 222, 872 (1996)).
This finding leads to the question of which domain of HIV-1 gp 120 participates in the interaction with the CC-CKR-5 and fusin co-receptors. The answer to this question is crucial for the development of new a strategy in the prevention and therapy of AIDS.
Summary of the invention It is the object of the present invention to provide peptides for use in vaccines raising antibodies that protect cells from the HIV-1 infection through the blocking of its interaction with the major fusin and CC-CKR-5 co-receptors.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide peptides that compete with HIV-1 for its interaction with the major co-receptors, for use in the AIDS therapy.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide peptides that may be used as an immunogen to elicit monoclonal antibodies which may be used as a therapeutic agent that prevents the development of AIDS or slows down its progression by blocking HIV-1 interaction with its major co-receptors.
It is also an object of this invention to identify the domain of fusin and CC-CKR-5 co-receptors that participate in the interaction with HIV-1 gp 120. These domains represent the potential target for the blocking of interaction with HIV-1 by the antibodies or the mimetic peptides.
Detailed descrlptlon of the invention In order to identify the information responsible for the interaction between the HIV-1 gp 120 and the CC-CKR-5 and fusin co-receptors, their primary structures were subjected to the "informational spectrum analysis. In this analysis, we used the gp 120 of "T-cell line tropic" (IIIB, LAV, SF2, and RF), and "macrophage-tropic" (HXB2, Ba-l, SF 162 and JR-FL) HIV-1 isolates. According to this analysis, the IS frequency component F(0.035) is characteristic for the interaction between the "T-cell line tropic" HIV-1 isolates and the fusin molecule. According to the same analysis, interaction between the CC-CKR-5 receptor and "macrophage-tropic" HIV-1 isolates is characterized by the IS frequency component F(0.207).
The important task represents identification oi region(s) of the HIV1 gp 120 participating in its interaction with the CC-CKR-5 and fusin coreceptors. Ir order to identify this region, we have scanned primary structures of gp 120 molecules from different HIV-1 isolates looking for the region which dominantly contributes to the IS frequency components F(0.035) and F(0.207). This analysis revealed the C-terminus of the second conserved domain (C2) as the most important part of gp 120 for its interaction with the co-receptor for both group of HIV-1 isolates, "T-cell line tropic" and "macrophage-tropic1' isolates. The consensus peptide VVRSANFTDNARTIIVQLNESVEINCTRP within C2 domain of gp 12C was identified as the most responsible domain for interaction between coreceptor and gp 120 for "T-cell line tropic" and "macrophage-tropic" HIV-1 isolates.
The invention refers therefore, according to a first embodiment, to peptides derived from the second conserved domain of HIV envelope glycoprotein gp 12C having in the IS as a dominant the frequency components F1 in the region 0.030-0.040 and/or F2 in the region 0.180-0.220. These peptides have preferably from 15 tc 35 aminoacids, more preferably from 20 to 30 aminoacids.
The ISM analysis of information encoded in the primary structure of gp 120 from different HIV-1 isolates revealed that (i) frequency component F(0.035) corresponds to interaction between "T-cell line tropic" HIV-1 isolates and fusin co-receptor, and (ii) frequency F(0.207) is responsible for the interaction of the "macrophage-tropic" HIV1 isolates and CC-CKR-5 receptor.
It was also shown that in communications with the CD4 receptor "T-cell line tropic" and "macrophage-tropic" HIV-1 isolates use the IS frequency components F(0.035) and F(0.207), respectively.
The invention also provides the peptide GIVGNGLVILVMGYQKKLRSMTAXYRLHLS from the fusin molecule and the peptide DFGNTMCQLLTGLYFIGFFSGIFFIILLTI from the CC-CKR-5 receptor that are responsible for interaction with HIV-1 gp 120.
The peptides of the invention are useful as a mimetic for the prevention of interaction between HIV-1 gp 120 and fusin and CC-CKR-5 co-receptors.
The peptides of the invention may also be used for the preparation of vaccines to provide protection against the development of AIDS or slowing down its progression in HIV-1 infected patients. The vaccine will contain an effective immunogenic amount of peptides, e.g. 1 pg to 20 mg/kg of host, optionally conjugated to a protein such as human serum albumin, in a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile water, saline or buffered saline.
Adjuvants may be employed, such as aluminium hydroxide gel. Administration may be by injection, e.g.
intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously or intravenously. Administration may take place once or at a plurality of times, e.g. at 1 - 4 week interval.
The peptides may also be expressed on the surface of a suitably engineered viral vector, e.g. vaccinia virus. Preferably, the compositions according to the invention comprise at least two peptides as defined above.
Antigenic sequences from crab as well as proteins from other invertebrates can also be added to the peptides of invention to promote antigenicity.
The peptides according to the invention may be used as immunogens to elicit monoclonal antibodies, using conventional techniques, for use in the therapy of AIDS.
The peptides, suitable bound to the porous surface of solid substrates, such as wells of a microtiter plate, may be used for the preparation of test kits.

Exaiclel In order to determine which of the characteristic frequencies from IS of the gp 120 from the "T-cell line tropic" HIV-1 isolates are responsible for their interaction with the CD4 receptor and the fusin co-receptor, the ISM analysis of these proteins has been performed.
These analysis revealed that the consensus IS (CIS) of gp 120 from the IIIB, LAV, SF2 and RF HIV-1 isolates (Fig. la), cross-spectra between this CIS and IS of the CD4 receptor (Fig. Ib), as well as cross-spectra between this CIS and IS of the fusin molecule (Fig. lc) contain only one characteristic peak corresponding to the frequency component F(0.035). Contrary, cross-spectra between CIS of gp 120 from analyzed "T-cell tropic" HIV-1 isolates and IS of the CC-CKR-5 molecule, representing the co-receptor of the "macrophage-tropic" isolates, do not contain any characteristic peak above the noise (Fig. ld).
According to these analysis it can be concluded that the IS frequency component F(0.035) is characteristic for the interaction between gp 120 from "T-cell tropic" HIV-1 isolates and the CD4 receptor and the fusin coreceptor.
Hxale2 In order to determine which of the characteristic frequencies from IS of the gpl20 from the "macrophage-tropic" HIV-1 isolates are responsible for their interaction with the CD4 receptor and the CC-CKR-5 co-receptor, the ISM analysis of these proteins has been performed. These analysis revealed that the consensus IS (CIS) of gp 120 from the HXB2, Ba-l, SF 162 and JR-FL HIV-1 isolates (Fig. 2a), cross-spectra between this CIS and IS of the CD4 receptor (Fig. 2b), as well as cross-spectra between this CIS and IS of the CC-CKR-5 molecule (Fig. 2c) contain only one characteristic peak corresponding to the frequency component F(0.207).
Contrary, the cross-spectra between CIS of gp 120 from analyzed "macrophage-tropic" HIV-1 isolates and IS of the fusin molecule, representing co-receptor of the "T-cell tropic" isolates, does not contain any characteristic peak above the noise (Fig. 2d).
According to these analysis it can be concluded that the IS frequency component F(0.207) is characteristic for the interaction between gp 120 from "macrophage-tropic" HIV-1 isolates and the CD4 receptor and the CC-CKR-5 co-receptor.

Results of this analysis for HXB2, Bal and SF160 isolates are given in Fig. 3.
These analysis reveald that the consensus peptide WRSANFTDNAXTIIVQLNBSVEINCTRP from the C-terminus of the C2 domain of gp 120 from the "macrophage-tropic" HIV1 isolates represents the region with the highest amplitude corresponding to the frequency component F(0.207). It means that this region of the "macrophage-tropic" HIV-1 isolates is most important for their interaction with the CC-CK1R-5 co-receptor.
