Abstract: However, thymidine analogue resistance mutations (TAMs) determined two distinct genotypic profiles in the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase: TAM1: M41L, L210W and T215Y, and TAM2: D67N, K70R, K219E/Q, and T215F.
The lysine 65 residue in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase function and in nucleoside analog drug resistance.
Introduction: Several mutations (the thymidine analog mutations, TAM) are required for high-level AZT resistance by excision, and include M41L, D67N, K70R, T215F or Y and K219E or Q.
Introduction: Two of the canonical TAM mutations, K70R and T215Y, form a new ATP binding pocket, which is not present in the wild-type enzyme.
Development and customization of a color-coded microbeads-based assay for drug resistance in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Introduction: As an initial approach, we focused on designing an assay for six major DR mutations: M41L,
Result: DR mutations were found at codons M41L (n = 22), K65R (n = 3), K70R (n = 10), K103N (n = 7), M184V (n = 21) and T215Y/F (n = 22) in 40 specimens (Table 2).
Table: K70R
Discussion: To simplify the development, we chose clade B virus and focused on the following mutations in the RT region: M41L, K65R, K70R, K103N, M184V and T215Y/F.
Virological failure and HIV-1 drug resistance mutations among naive and antiretroviral pre-treated patients entering the ESTHER program of Calmette Hospital in Cambodia.
Result: The TAM2 pathway (D67N, K70R, T215F, and K219Q/E) was present in 5/22, 4/22, 8/22, 2/22 patients.

Introduction: There are two TAM pathways: type I (M41L, L210W and T215Y) and type II (D67N, K70R, T215F and K219Q/E); the former conferring higher levels of resistance and cross-resistance.
Result: A total of 35 patients had at least 1 TAM, with the following distribution: M41L (16%), D67N (15%), K70R (9%), L210W (11%), T215Y (16%), T215F (11%), K219Q (5%) and K219E (2%).
Characterization of amino acids Arg, Ser and Thr at position 70 within HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Abstract: K70R is part of the thymidine analog mutations, but also other amino acid changes have been associated with NRTI resistance, such as K70E and K70G.
Abstract: In vitro phenotypic testing revealed only minor effects of K70R/S/T as single mutations, associated with Q151M and within the context of the Q151M-complex.
2014 Update of the drug resistance mutations in HIV-1.
Discussion: Mutations known to be selected by TAMs (ie, M41L, D67N, K70R, L210W, T215Y/F, and K219Q/E) also confer reduced susceptibility to all currently approved nRTIs.
Discussion: The presence of K70R or M184V alone does not decrease virologic response to didanosine.
Emergence of drug resistance in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infected patients from pune, India, at the end of 12 months of first line antiretroviral therapy initiation.
Abstract: HIV-1 resistance to zidovudine [AZT (azidothymidine)] is associated with selection of the mutations M41L, D67N, K70R, L210W, T215F/Y and K219Q/E in RT (reverse transcriptase).
Result: Consistent with previously published data, we found that RTs containing M41L/L210W/T215Y or D67N/K70R/T215F/K219Q increased the enzyme's apparent affinity for ATP (KM) and the rate of excision (kexcision) (Table 1).
Result: I

Abstract: The samples were screened with sensitive polymerase chain reaction assays for the commonly transmitted M41L and K70R mutations and for K65R, which was undetected by bulk sequencing.
