Abstract: AZT resistance coexisted with ddI resistance following acquisition of
Leu-74-->Val in three clinical isolates, indicating that the suppressive effect of Val-74 on the AZT resistance of the virus does not occur in all genetic contexts.
Abstract: Changes in ddATP inhibition of RNA-dependent DNA
polymerase activity fully accounted for the ddI resistance of the virus caused by a
Leu-74-->Val substitution in
RT, including an augmentation by the AZT-selected substitutions Thr-215-->Tyr and Lys-219-->Gln in
RT.
