Abstract: Biochemical studies revealed that
A360V enhances the AZT-monophosphate excision activity of purified
RT by significantly decreasing the frequency of secondary RNase H cleavage events that reduce the RNA/DNA duplex length and promote template/primer dissociation.
Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: The
A360V mutation in the connection domain of
RT was selected in
HIV-infected individuals that received AZT monotherapy and contributed to AZT resistance.
Abstract: HIV-1 drug susceptibility assays demonstrated that
A360V, either alone or in combination with thymidine analog mutations, decreased AZT susceptibility in recombinant viruses containing participant-derived full-length
RT sequences or site-directed mutant
