Insertion of two animo acids combined with changes in reverse transcriptase containing tyrosine-215 of HIV-1 resistant to multiple nucleoside analogs

Abstract: Antiretroviral therapy including zidovudine may yield replicating viruses with a two amino-acid insertion in RT in combination with amino-acid changes at codons 67 and 215, which are highly resistant to lamivudine and stavudine on top of zidovudine and have unpredictable susceptibility to didanosine and zalcitabine despite lack of previously reported corresponding resistance-associated amino-acid changes. It is currently unknown what regimens can induce the emergence of this type of multidrug-resistant viruses… Show more

“…As similar types of insertion mutations were reported in the RT gene (6,20,21) pol type during the therapy in all cases were obtained. Taken together, we suggest that this type of insertion in the p6 gag and p6 pol genes enhances the proliferation and/or the survival of the HIV-1 variant in the presence of antiretroviral drugs.…”

“…This has been the case for the nucleoside multidrug resistance complex of mutations Q151M, F77L, F116Y, A62V, and V75I, although the increase in the level of phenotypic resistance to 3TC in viruses that harbor those mutations is slight (9,20,24,25). In the case of the insertion mutations near position 69 of RT, a notable increase in the frequency of 3TC resistance has been reported together with an increased frequency of phenotypic resistance to other nucleosides (2,17,29). The K65R mutation appears infrequently during the course of treatment with dideoxyinosine (ddI; didanosine) and dideoxycytosine and confers concomitant low-level 3TC resistance (4,5).…”

“…Another MDR complex of RT mutations is the "fingers insertion" complex that includes an insertion of two residues at the fingers subdomain of the p66 subunit of RT in the presence of AZT resistance mutations, e.g., M41L and T215Y (M41L/T69SSG/T215Y). This complex can emerge during combination treatment that includes NRTIs (10,41) and confers resistance to multiple drugs by enhancing the excision reaction that causes resistance by unblocking NRTI-terminated primers (40). G333E or G333D polymorphisms with thymidine analogue-associated mutations (TAMs) and M184V have also been reported to facilitate moderate resistance to at least two NRTIs, AZT and lamivudine (3TC) (7,22).…”
