Discussion: E157Q has been shown to act as a compensatory mutation due to its ability to restore damaged enzymatic activity caused by N155H or R263K substitution.
Transmitted HIV drug resistance and subtype patterns among blood donors in Poland.
Introduction: INSTI-naive highly treatment-experienced patients failing DTG cART have been found to have a virus with DRMs including G118R, D67N; H51H/Y, G118R, E138E/K, and less commonly R263R/K, V260I, R263R, N155H, G118R, and E138E.
Method: The mutations of interest included: T66A/I/K, Discussion: Compared with a similar cohort of patients from clinical trials, the selection of major integrase DRM- R263K was common.
Interaction analysis of statistically enriched mutations identified in Cameroon recombinant subtype CRF02_AG that can influence the development of Dolutegravir drug resistance mutations.
Abstract: RESULTS: We observed 12.8% (37/287) sequences to contain RAMs, with only 1.0% (3/287) of the sequences having major INSTI RAMs: T66A, Q148H, R263K and N155H.
Abstract: The interaction analysis revealed that DTG bound to DNA, 2MG ions and DDE motif residues for T66A, T97A, Q148H, N155H and R263K comparable to the WT structure.
Result: Moreover, T66A, Q148H, N155H, D232N and R263K mutations all indicated a loss of interactions with neighbouring resid
Virologic outcomes of switching to dolutegravir functional mono- or dual therapy with a non-cytosine nucleoside analog: a retrospective study of treatment-experienced, patients living with HIV.
Method: Patients with the following baseline mutations associated with reduced susceptibility to DTG: T66K, E92Q, G118R, E138 K/A/T, G140 S/A/C, Q148 H/R/K, N155H and R263K were excluded.

Result: Additionally, R263K was recently described to decrease HIV integration and to be associated with therapy failure using Dolutegravir in HIV-1 treated patients.
Result: As expected from the HEXplorer prediction, the silent R263R mutation led to a similar splicing pattern as R263K, albeit, in contrast to the missense version R263K, a slight band for the most abundant mRNA species Tat2b was still present (Figure 3C).
Result: Compared with the parental sequence, the V260I mutation is predicted to have little effect on splice site recognition with a DeltaHZEI of -37.79, whereas R263K is predicted to result in a more severe change in splicing outcome with a DeltaHZEI of -132.16.
Result: For R263K, a similar pattern was observed,

Result: Resistance in IN was mainly due to R263K (1.6%) and E138AKT, G140ACS, Q148HKR (0.8% each) (Figure 6c).

Discussion: However, a recent 2020 case report did document treatment-emergent resistance in a treatment-experienced individual who had received crushed BIC/FTC/TAF tablets through a nasogastric tube, which the authors speculate may have resulted in inadequate blood levels of the drug that led to the R263K mutation.
Discussion: In treatment-naive individuals, the R263K (INI) mutation is very rare and has most commonly been observed by ultra-deep sequencing.
Discussion: Most cases of treatment failure with development of R263K (INI) mutations have been documented in the context of DTG administration, with failure most often linked to low serum drug levels from drug-drug interactions with rifampin or rifabutin.
Discussion: Neither the M184V ( PMID: 34835137

Introduction: Although these mutations: IN:M50I, RH:N79S and IN:S17N, were reported NOPs mutations, we presumed that a particular ART might facilitate the emergence of the mutations and affect susceptibility to integrase inhibitor, since IN:M50I is reported as a mutation associated with resistance to dolutegravir (DTG), which enhances resistance of a mutant carrying R263K mutation to DTG, but not resistance to the drug by itself.
