The cellular tropism of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is affected by changes in variable region 3 (V3) of the surface (SU) envelope glycoprotein (Verschoor, E. J., et al., J. Virol. 69:4752-4757, 1995). By using high-dose DNA transfection, an FIV molecular clone with a non-CRFK-tropic V3 acquired the ability to replicate in CRFK cells. A single point mutation from a methionine to a threonine in the ectodomain of its transmembrane (TM) envelope glycoprotein was responsible for this change in viral tropism. This substitution is located in the putative SU interactive region, between the fusion peptide and the membrane-spanning region. Our results show that this region of the TM envelope glycoprotein constitutes an additional determinant for cell tropism.
