Genetically Divergent Strains of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus from the Domestic Cat (Felis catus) and the African Lion (Panthera leo) Share Usage of CD134 and CXCR4 as Entry Receptors
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACT The env open reading frames of African lion (Panthera leo) lentivirus (feline immunodeficiency virus [FIVPle]) subtypes B and E from geographically distinct regions of Africa suggest two distinct ancestries, with FIVPle-E sharing a common ancestor with the domestic cat (Felis catus) lentivirus (FIVFca). Here we demonstrate that FIVPle-E and FIVFca share the use of CD134 (OX40) and CXCR4 as a primary receptor and coreceptor, respectively, and that both lion CD134 and CXCR4 are functional receptors for FIVPle-E. The shared usage of CD134 and CXCR4 by FIVFca and FIVPle-E may have implications for in vivo cell tropism and the pathogenicity of the E subtype among free-ranging lion populations.
