Abstract excerpt
Casein kinase II (CKII) phosphorylates wild-type (WT) recombinant reverse transcriptase (RT) mainly in the p66 subunit in vitro. Phosphorylation of T215F RT and D67N/K70R/T215F/K219Q RT (AZT-resistant RT) in vitro increases discrimination against AZTTP 2. 5- and 3.6-fold, respectively. This in vitro resistance can be reversed by treatment of phosphorylated AZT-resistant RT with phosphatase. Phosphorylation has no...
