Abstract: Lamivudine elicited the acquisition of the M184I mutation.
Abstract: Phenotypic resistance to all nucleoside-analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) was increased when M184I was added to the multi-nucleoside resistance background in the absence of NNRTI-resistance mutations.
Abstract: The addition of the M184I mutation to the NNRTI-multi-nucleoside resistance set abolished this antagonizing effect for didanosine, zalcitabine and lamivudine, but further potentiated the phenotypic reversal for zidovudine and stavudine.
Replicative fitness in vivo of HIV-1 variants with multiple drug resistance-associated mutations.
Abstract: The least fit viruses were associated with the RT mutation M184I/V (11.6% less fit) and the PR mutations D30N (12.4% less fit) and M46I/L (21% less fit).
Long-term exposure of HIV type 1-infected cell cultures to combinations of the novel quinoxaline GW420867X with lamivudine, abacavir, and a variety of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Abstract: Lamivudine plus GW420867X selected for the 3TC-specific M184I mutation and a number of NNRTI-characteristic mutations (i.e., V106A, V108I, and Y188H).
Evolution of lamivudine resistance in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected individuals: the relative roles of drift and selection.
Abstract: From analysis of the frequency of M184I and M184V mutants determined at multiple time points in seven individuals during lamivudine therapy, we estimated the fitness advantage of M184V over M184I during therapy to be approximately 23% on average.
Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) rapidly develops resistance to lamivudine during monotherapy, typically resulting in the appearance at position 184 in reverse transcriptase (RT) of isoleucine instead of the wild-type methionine (M184I) early in therapy, which is later replaced by valine (M184V).
Abstract: We have found that the differences between individuals in the rate of evolution of lamivudine resistance arise due to genetic d
The role of steric hindrance in 3TC resistance of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 reverse transcriptase.
Abstract: Both of the mutations, M184I and M184V, provide very high levels of resistance in vivo; purified HIV-1 RT carrying M184V and M184I also shows resistance to 3TCTP and FTCTP in in vitro polymerase assays.
Abstract: Structural studies suggest that the mechanism of resistance of HIV-1 RTs carrying the M184V or M184I mutation involves steric hindrance, which could either completely block the binding of 3TCTP and FTCTP or allow binding of these nucleoside triphosphate molecules but only in a configuration that would prevent incorporation.
Abstract: The initial change is usually to M184I; this virus is rapidly replaced by a varia
Evolution of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus and HIV-1 in co-infected individuals: an analysis of the CAESAR study. CAESAR co-ordinating committee.
Abstract: Ten of the thirteen patients had a 44-52 week HIV viral load > 1000 copies/ml, all of whom also had HIV reverse transcriptase M184V or M184I mutations.
Isolation and characterization of simian immunodeficiency virus variants that are resistant to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
Abstract: These amino acids are highly conserved in HIV-1, HIV-2, SIVmac and SIVagm, and the M184I (M185I in SIVagm) substitution was observed in 3TC-resistant HIV-1 and SIVmac.
Resistance profiles of (+)2'-deoxy-3'-oxa-4'-thiocytidine and (-)2'-deoxy-3'-oxa-4'-thio-5-fluorocytidine.
Abstract: Met184Val and Met184Ile, result in an increase in polymerase fidelity of the enzyme as measured in biochemical assays; however, the effect of such changes on the fidelity during viral replication is largely unknown.
Abstract: CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that the Met184Val and Met184Ile mutations in the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase enzyme do not significantly affect the evolutionary potential of the corresponding viruses.
Abstract: DESIGN AND METHOD: In vitro selection experiments with either wild-type or lamivudine-resistant viruses (Met184Val and Met184Ile) were performed using a protease inhibitor as the selective drug.
Lamivudine (3TC) resistance in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase involves steric hindrance with beta-branched amino acids.
Abstract: However, comparison of crystal structures of M184I mutant and wild-type HIV-1 RT with and without DNA reveals repositioning of the template-primer in the M184I/DNA binary complex and other smaller changes in residues in the dNTP-binding site.
Abstract: On the basis of these structural results, we developed a model that explains the ability of the 3TC-resistant mutant M184I to incorporate dNTPs but not the nucleotide analog 3TCTP.
Abstract: Repositioning of the template-primer as observed in the binary complex (M184I/DNA) may also occur in the catalytic ternary complex (M184I/DNA/3TCTP) and contribute to 3TC resistance by interfering with the formation of a catalytically competent closed complex.
Abstract: We have determined crystal structures of the 3TC-re
