OBJECTIVE To identify accessory mutations associated with high-level resistance to reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors in HIV-1 subtypes B and C. METHODS Changes relative to the wild-type for codons 1-400 of RT were analysed from treatment-experienced patients infected with subtypes B (5464 patients) and C (1920 patients). Positions associated with the accumulation of mutations conferring resistance to thymidine analogues and to non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs) were identified. A subtype-specific single-replication cycle drug susceptibility assay was used to determine whether some of the mutations affected drug susceptibility or viral infectivity. RESULTS In subtype B, mutations at 31 and 26 positions were associated with the accumulation of thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs) and NNRTI mutations, respectively; in subtype C, 18 and 13 positions were identified, respectively. Amino acid changes at the following positions were differentially associated with (i) the accumulation of 0-4+ TAMs in subtypes B and C (away from consensus): 43 (27.0% B versus 2.5% C); 118 (36.4% B versus 16.2% C); 135 (12.5% B versus 28.0% C); and 326 (2.6% towards consensus in B versus 7.6% away in C) and (ii) the accumulation of 0-3+ NNRTI mutations (away from consensus): 43 (10.2% B versus 0.5% C); and 68 (5.2% B versus 10.3% C). Codon changes K43E, E44D and V118I were found to have no effect on susceptibility to three NRTIs with or without TAMs in either subtype; however, some accessory mutations had subtype-specific effects on viral infectivity. CONCLUSIONS Differences between subtypes B and C were observed in the development and effect of accessory mutations associated with high-level resistance to RT inhibitors.

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
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
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).
