Mutations in the HIV-1 RT NNRTI binding pocket can cause resistance to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). The G190S mutation significantly reduces enzyme efficiency, but T215Y can compensate, potentially favoring double mutants with decreased NRTI susceptibility.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Drug Resistance
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor (NNRTI)-binding pocket of HIV-1 RT is crucial for drug efficacy.
  • Mutations within this pocket, specifically in codons 100-110, 180-190, and 220-240, are known to confer HIV-1 NNRTI resistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of specific HIV-1 RT mutations (G190S/A/E, G190S+T215Y, T215Y, K103N) on susceptibility to both NNRTIs and nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs).
  • To determine the in vitro inhibition of purified recombinant RT enzymes with these mutations by NNRTI and NRTI drugs.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of recombinant HIV-1 strains harboring specific mutations.
  • Evaluation of drug susceptibility for NNRTIs and NRTIs against these recombinant strains.

    • Main Results:

    • G190S/A/E substitutions resulted in high-level nevirapine resistance and moderate resistance to stavudine and zidovudine.
    • The G190S+T215Y double mutation conferred greater susceptibility reduction to stavudine and zidovudine than T215Y alone.
    • G190S markedly decreased RT catalytic efficiency, while T215Y had a limited effect; however, G190S+T215Y showed reduced impairment of the G190S-mutated enzyme's efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • Mutations in the HIV-1 RT NNRTI binding pocket can lead to cross-resistance to NRTIs.
    • The compensatory effect of T215Y on the catalytic efficiency impairment caused by G190S may favor the selection of double mutants, further decreasing NRTI susceptibility.
