3. INTRODUCTION
 Human Immunodeficiency Virus type-1 (HIV-1) is a double single
stranded RNA virus. It belongs to the
Family : Retroviridae
Genus : Lentivirus
Species: Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1
(HIV-1)
 It is an enveloped virus enters into the host cells by membrane
fusion mechanism (Goldsby et al., 2002).
 It consists of nine important genes in its genomic structure. The
main gene involves in the pathogenicity and infectivity of the
HIV-1 virus is env gene. It encodes precursor protein
glycoprotein 160 (gp 160) (David et al., 1998).

4. EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HIV-1
 According to the records of Joint United Nations Programme
on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) at 2011, 34 million people was
living with HIV around the world. The same year 2.5 million
people are newly infected with HIV (Katherine et al., 2003).
 1.Sub – Saharan Africa is the most affected area in the world.
Here 67.6% of individuals living with HIV-1 infection and 72%
of deaths because of AIDS.
 2. In South Africa, 5.6 million HIV -1 infection and 17.2% of
total AIDS mortality. In Asia there are 4.9 million infected with
HIV - 1.

6. Env GENE BINDING REACTION
Viral envelope protein (env) binds with target
cell in two ways. That are,
1. Specific interaction
2. Non – specific interaction
 Specific interaction env + α4β7
integrin or DC-SIGN
 Non - Specific interaction env + heparan
sulfate proteoglycan

7. GP 120 and GP 41 STRUCTURE
GP 41:
1.It involves in the final step of the
fusion.
2.It forms six - helix bundle (6HB)
structure which leads to the
formation of fusion pore.
GP 120:
1.It is responsible for receptor
binding.
2.It contains 5 relatively conserved
domains (C1-C5) and 5 variable loops
(V1-V5).
3.Each variable region forms loop
structure by disulfide bond
(Himanshu et al., 2008).

12. CONCLUSION
 HIV-1 is a high heterogenicity in nature. Hence, it is very
challengeable among the investigators to design a vaccine or to
deliver a drug on target.
 This review is may be useful for the HIV-1 interested groups
to understand the pathogenic mechanism of HIV-1 in different
cells and its genetic forms.
 This will also provides significant information to find a new
drug targeting HIV-1 and vaccine preparation.
