Infection, genetics and evolution
Abstract: A total of 8 patients harbored strains with mutations associated to drug resistance: L90M (n=1), K103N (n=1), T69N (n=1), T215S (n=1), M41L (n=4).
Evolution and predictors of HIV type-1 drug resistance in patients failing combination antiretroviral therapy in Italy.
Abstract: There was an increase of type-1 thymidine analogue and of protease mutations L33F, I47A/V, I50V and I54L/M, whereas L90M decreased over calendar years.
Transmitted antiretroviral drug resistance among acute and recent HIV infections in North Carolina from 1998 to 2007.
Abstract: Thymidine analogue mutations were found in 4.7% of samples; the most common PI SDRM was L90M (2.4%).
Result: For PIs, L90M appeared most often (n=6), followed by I84V (n=3).

Result: The sample from PID 30062 - which contained four NRTI-resistance mutations - also had the following minority protease inhibitor (PI) resistance mutations: M46I (0.8%), I84V (0.9%), and L90M (0.9%) (data not shown).

Abstract: The most frequent PI mutations involving resistance to NFV were L90M (25.2%) and D30N (16.2%), but mutations at positions K45Q and D30N were often observed in tandem (P = 60.5, J = 50; p = 0.002; Group 2) alongside Q61E in 42.8% of patients who received ZDV/3TC.
Multiple independent origins of a protease inhibitor resistance mutation in salvage therapy patients.
Abstract: CONCLUSION: These results indicate that early L90M mutants can frequently be displaced by viruses carrying independently selected L90M mutations rather than by descendents of the earlier mutants.
Abstract: RESULTS: Using L90M allele specific PCR we amplified and sequenced gag-pro regions linked to very early L90M containing HIV variants prior to their emergence and detection as dominant viruses in 15 failed salvage therapy patients.
Abstract: The early minority L90M linked sequences were then compared to those of the later L90M viruses that came to dominate the plasma quasispecies.
Abstract: To determine if the common protease inhibitor resistance mutation L90M

Abstract: A detailed analysis of the enthalpic/entropic balance of drug-protease interactions explains resistance in L90M in terms of a higher vibrational entropy than in the WT complex, while G48V disrupts critical hydrogen bonds at the inhibitor's binding site and produces an altered, more unfavorable balance of Coulomb and polar desolvation energies.
Abstract: Herein we report an application of the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/PBSA) technique to the ranking of binding affinities of the inhibitor saquinavir with the wild type (WT) and three resistant mutants of HIV-1 protease: L90M, G48V, and G48V/L90M.

Abstract: In multivariable models adjusting for prior AIDS, baseline CD4 counts, HIV-1 RNA, and calendar year, viral resistance variables associated with increased hazards of clinical progression were the presence of reverse transcriptase substitution T215F (p = 0.002) and the presence of three or more protease substitutions among L33F/I/V, V82A/F/L/T, I84V, and L90M (p = 0.003).

Abstract: The 402 viruses were phylogenetically analyzed, revealing three independent clusters comprising PI-resistant variants with the M46I or L90M mutation, NNRTI-resistant variants with the K103N mutation, and 215-revertant variants.
