Biological function summary
During the infection process gp41 acts by mediating membrane fusion between the HIV viral envelope and the host cell membrane. It forms part of the Env complex consisting of gp120 and gp41 proteins which together create the functional envelope glycoprotein spike on the virus. This spike binds to receptors on the host cell such as the CD4 molecule which initiates changes that reveal the gp41 protein allowing it to insert into the host cell membrane and pull the viral and cellular membranes together.
Pathways
Involving HIV1 gp41 and its associated proteins the gp41 protein is a critical player in the viral entry pathway. After gp120 binds to the CD4 receptor and coreceptors such as CCR5 or CXCR4 on the host cell this conformational change exposes gp41 to carry out the fusion of viral and host membranes. The Env complex through gp41 and gp120 proteins coordinates this entry process integrating the viral genetic material with the host genome which is important for HIV propagation.
