Mechanisms Involved in the Selection of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Thumb Subdomain Polymorphisms Associated with Nucleoside Analogue Therapy Failure
23 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies showed an increased prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) thumb subdomain polymorphisms Pro272, Arg277, and Thr286 in patients failing therapy with nucleoside analogue combinations. Interestingly, wild-type HIV-1(BH10) RT contains Pro272, Arg277, and Thr286. Here, we demonstrate that in the presence of zidovudine, HIV-1(BH10) RT mutations...
