Result: In addition to the five accessory mutations in Table 2 (K43E, E44D, V118I, H208Y, and D218E), other NRTI mutations that consistently followed TAMs included the known treatment-selected mutations T69D and T69N.
Result: Positively associated mutation pairs consisted primarily of Type I or II thymidine analog mutations (TAMs; as defined in Methods); accessory NRTI mutations that occurred in combination with Type I or II TAMs (K43E, E44D, V118I, H208Y, D218E); and Q151M<
The use of beta-D-2,6-diaminopurine dioxolane with or without mycophenolate mofetil in drug-resistant HIV infection.
Abstract: VR was more frequent with < or = 5 baseline NRTI mutations (P = 0.12) or < 4 thymidine-associated mutations (TAMs) without E44D or V118I (P = 0.08).

Abstract: The best correlation with response was found with the derived score (M41L x 2) + E44D/A/G + T69D/S/N/A + (L210W x 2) + T215Y or revertants + L228H/R - D123E/N/G/S, by use of which viruses were categorized as being susceptible (score < or =0), as having intermediate resistance (1-3), and as being resistant (> or =4) to didanosine.
Evidence of differential selection of HIV-1 variants carrying drug-resistant mutations in seroconverters.
Abstract: Among the mutations not detected in viruses from SCs, the RT E44D, V1081, Q151M and Y188C/H/L, and the protease D30N, G48V and V82A/F/S/T substitutions appeared to be negatively selected.

Abstract: Many mutations associated with reduced susceptibility to nucleoside or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were detected: M41L (11%), E44D (4%), D67N (11%), T69D (2%), K70R (11%), L74V (2%), L100I (4%), K103N (18%), V118I (9%), Y181C (11%), M184V (18%), G190A (4%), T215Y (4%), and K219E (4%).
Genotypic determinants of the virological response to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-experienced patients.
Abstract: RESULTS: The strongest association with decrease in viral load was observed with a set of seven mutations (TDF mutation score) that consisted of M41L, E44D, D67N, T69D/N/S, L74V, L210W and T215Y/F RT mutations.

Mutations E44D and V118I in the reverse transcriptase of HIV-1 play distinct mechanistic roles in dual resistance to AZT and 3TC.

Abstract: Both mechanisms show a certain degree of incompatibility; however, previous clinical data revealed that mutations E44D and V118I, when present in a background of classical AZT mutations (M41L,
Abstract: These biochemical data make clear that mutations E44D and V118I play distinct mechanistic roles in dual resistance to AZT and 3TC.
Abstract: We found that enzymes containing E44D in a background of these latter mutations increase the efficiency of excision of 3TC-MP.
Abstract: We have purified RT enzymes that contain E44D and V118I either alone or in a background of different combinations of AZT mutations to study the underlying biochemical mechanisms.
