Abstract: All the mutations identified altered the activities of
integrase protein: both 3' processing and strand transfer activities were moderately affected in the
E92Q mutant; strand transfer was markedly impaired in the
N155H mutant; both activities were strongly impaired in the
G140S Q148H mutant; and the
E157Q mutant was almost completely inactive.
Abstract: At least four genetic profiles (
E92Q,
G140S Q148H,
N155H, and
E157Q) can be associated with in vivo treatment failure and resistance to raltegravir.
