Should We Include Connection Domain Mutations of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase in HIV Resistance Testing?
Perspective D espite the remarkable achievements in discovery and development of antiretroviral agents for the treatment of infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), drug resistance remains a major reason for viral rebound and treatment failure. Therefore, resistance testing has become an important tool in clinical decision making. HIV genotype testing, to look for mutations t...
متن کاملN348I in the Connection Domain of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Confers Zidovudine and Nevirapine Resistance
BACKGROUND The catalytically active 66-kDa subunit of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) consists of DNA polymerase, connection, and ribonuclease H (RNase H) domains. Almost all known RT inhibitor resistance mutations identified to date map to the polymerase domain of the enzyme. However, the connection and RNase H domains are not routinely analysed in cl...
متن کاملMutations in the connection domain of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase increase 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine resistance.
We previously proposed that a balance between nucleotide excision and template RNA degradation plays an important role in nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) resistance. To explore the predictions of this concept, we analyzed the role of patient-derived C-terminal domains of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) in NRTI resistance. We found that when the polymerase domain contained pre...
متن کاملInhibitor binding alters the directions of domain motions in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) action and drug inhibition is essential for designing effective antiretroviral therapies. Although comparisons of the different crystal forms of RT give insights into the flexibility of different domains, a direct computational assessment of the effect of inhibitor binding on the collective dynamics of RT is lacking. A s...
متن کاملConformational changes in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase induced by nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor binding.
Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) are a group of small hydrophobic compounds with diverse structures that specifically inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). NNRTIs interact with HIV-1 RT by binding to a single site on the p66 subunit of the p66/p51 heterodimeric enzyme, termed the NNRTI-binding pocket (NNRTI-BP). This binding interaction results in both short-range and ...
