The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor (NNRTI)-binding pocket of HIV-1 RT spans codons 100-110, 180-190 and 220-240 and mutations in these domains are responsible for HIV-1 NNRTI resistance. Recombinant HIV-1 strains carrying G190S/A/E, G190S+T215Y, T215Y and K103N mutations were constructed to evaluate susceptibility to both NNRTIs and nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs). In addition, purified recombinant RT enzymes were obtained to determine the degree of in vitro inhibition by drugs of both classes. High-level resistance to nevirapine and moderate level resistance to both stavudine and zidovudine were associated with G190S/A/E substitutions. The simultaneous presence of G190S and T215Y decreased stavudine and zidovudine susceptibility more than T215Y alone. On the other hand, G190S was associated with a marked decrease in RT catalytic efficiency, while T215Y showed a more limited effect. Interestingly, the simultaneous presence of G190S and T215Y was associated with a reduction in the impairment of the G190S-mutated enzyme. Mutations in the HIV-1 RT NNRTI binding pocket may be associated with cross-resistance to NRTI. Selection of double mutants, with further decrease in NRTI susceptibility, might be favoured by the compensatory effect of T215Y on the reduction of RT catalytic efficiency associated with G190S.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D015215 Zidovudine A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by an azido group. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA during reverse transcription. It improves immunologic function, partially reverses the HIV-induced neurological dysfunction, and improves certain other clinical abnormalities associated with AIDS. Its principal toxic effect is dose-dependent suppression of bone marrow, resulting in anemia and leukopenia.

D019943 Amino Acid Substitution The naturally occurring or experimentally induced replacement of one or more AMINO ACIDS in a protein with another.
