The potential roles of an amino acid deletion at codon 67 (Delta67) and a Thr-to-Gly change at codon 69 (T69G) in the reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 in drug sensitivity and relative replication fitness were studied. Our results suggest that the Delta67 and T69G changes can be categorized as mutations associated with multidrug resistance. The combination of both mutations with an L74I change (Delta67+T69G/L74I) leads to a novel 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine resistance motif and compensates for impaired HIV replication.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).
