Discussion: The K65R and Q151M substitutions are known to occur more commonly in HIV-2 than in HIV-1 infections, and often appear together with M184V in patients that receive NRTI, as shown in an ART-experienced patient in this study.
Active-site deformation in the structure of HIV-1 RT with HBV-associated septuple amino acid substitutions rationalizes the differential susceptibility of HIV-1 and HBV against 4'-modified nucleoside RT inhibitors.

Abstract: The most active RT mutant, HIV-1 RT7MC, carrying Q151M/G112S/D113A/Y115F/F116Y/F160L/I159L was successfully crystallized, and its three-dimensional structure was determined in complex with DNA:dGTP/entecavir-triphosphate (ETV-TP), a potent anti-HBV guanosine analogue RT inhibitor, at a resolution of 2.43 A and 2.60 A, respectively.
In vitro evaluation of novel reverse transcriptase inhibitors TAF (tenofovir alafenamide) and OBP-601 (2,3-didehydro-3-deoxy-4-ethynylthymidine) against multi-drug resistant primary isolates of HIV-2.
Abstract: With one exception, all resistant viruses had canonical nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)-associated resistance mutations (K65R, N69S, V111I, Y115F, Q151M and M184V).

Result: The most frequent mutation of resistance to NRTI worldwide is M184V/I, followed by K65R/N, L74V/I, Y115F, and Q151M, and the most prevalent for FSU_A is M184V, followed by K65R/N.
Trends in the Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Mechanisms of Transmitted Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Drug Resistance in a Large US Clinic Population.
Result: The non-TAMs K65R, L74V/I, Y115F, and Q151M each occurred in just 1 or 2 individuals.
Patterns of emergent resistance-associated mutations after initiation of non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor-containing antiretroviral regimens in Taiwan: a multicenter cohort study.
Discussion: Since the majority of these patients (40.4%) received the first-line regimens containing zidovudine, its influence on the detection of RAMs or Q151M complex can be neglected.

Introduction: As expected, patients failing AZT-based therapy did not develop mutations K65R, K70E, L74V, or Y115F, and only rarely were DRMs from the Q151M complex seen.
Introduction: However, in the 31 patients with no K65R present at S2, 6 had intermediate or high-level resistance to AZT: 4 were caused by TAM-2 DRMs, 1 by T215Y, and 1 by Q151M-complex mutations Q151M, A62V, V75I, F77L, F116Y.
HIV-1 with HBV-associated Q151M substitution in RT becomes highly susceptible to entecavir: structural insights into HBV-RT inhibition by entecavir.
Abstract: Here, we demonstrate that a Q151M substitution alone at the nucleotide-binding site (N-site) of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) RT renders HIV-1 highly sensitive to entecavir (ETV), a potent nucleoside analogue RT inhibitor (NRTI) against HBV.
Abstract: We thus solved the crystal structures of HIV-1 RTQ151M:DNA complex with bound dGTP or ETV-triphosphate (ETV-TP).
Introduction: Based on the structures of RTQ151M together with the results of the antiviral assay, possible mechanisms of ETV-TP action on HIV-1/HBV RT and of the reported ETV resistance are discussed.
Introduction: In this study, we showed that the PMID: 29753024

Abstract: This study reveals the antiretroviral efficacy of obtained two best ligands and delivers the hits against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase Q151M mutant.
Abstract: To discover potential hits, we docked 49 antiretroviral analogs (n = 6294) against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase Q151M mutant & its wild-type form and narrow downed their number in three sequential modes of docking using Schrodinger suite.
The HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase A62V Mutation Influences Replication Fidelity and Viral Fitness in the Context of Multi-Drug-Resistant Mutations.
Discussion: In contrast, viruses harboring the Q151M complex or the T69SSS insertion complex in the context of A62V had replication efficiencies comparable to that of wt HIV-1 in the absence of a drug when under AZT drug-selective pressure (Figure 4).
Discussion: Taken together, these data support the conclusion that both MDR varia
Discussion: The replicative capacity of viruses harboring the MDR Q151M complex, in the presence or absence of the A62V mutation, was observed to be comparable under AZT drug pressure (Figure 5B).
Discussion: Under AZT-selective pressure, viruses harboring either the Q151M complex or the T69SSS insertion complex without A62V had the lowest level of drug susceptibility.
