Replication-dependent 65R→K reversion in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase double mutant K65R + L74V

Abstract: Understanding of the mechanisms of interaction among nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-selected mutations in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) coding sequence is essential for the design of newer drugs and for enhancing our vision of the structure function relationship among amino acids of the polymerase domain of HIV-1. Although several nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors select RT mutations K65R and L74V, the combination of 65R + 74V is rare in… Show more

“…In contrast, similar relative replication efficiencies were observed in cell lines and PBMC for some non-nucleoside inhibitor-and enfuvirtide-resistant HIV variants (15,23). Another potential problem that has been observed by others is the rapid reversion of a mutant over the course of a replication assay (37). To date, we have not observed reversion using direct sequence analysis (data not shown), but this could occur, particularly with poorly fit mutants, such as those studied by Sharma et al (37).…”

To date, we have not observed reversion using direct sequence analysis (data not shown), but this could occur, particularly with poorly fit mutants, such as those studied by Sharma et al (37). In addition, our assay is a recombinant virus assay, reflecting only determinants of replication efficiency that are present in the PR and RT regions of the viral genome.…”

“…Some examples of measuring virus directly include quantitation of a viral protein, such as p24, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (106,156,163); measurement of reverse transcriptase activity (164, 175); and quantitation of proviral DNA (116). In addition, in growth competition assays, the relative amounts of test and reference strains can be quantified by sequence analysis of proviral DNA or viral RNA (65,69,78,86,117,154,155,169,174), heteroduplex tracking assays (HTAs) (140), or allele-specific real-time PCR (33,142,176). It should be noted that the latter methods do not provide information on the extent of viral replication.…”

“…Sequence analysis has also been used to quantify the relative amounts of the two variants in a growth competition assay either by direct sequence analysis of the bulk PCR product (65,69,78,86,117,154,155,174) or by analysis of individual clones derived from the PCR amplicon (119). One disadvantage of bulk sequencing is that differences in the surrounding sequence may influence the assay's sensitivity for detecting a minority variant at a given codon.…”
