Introduction: Single-genome sequence analysis demonstrates a negative association of K65R with TAMs (T215Y/F + >=2 TAMs) on the same genome, except when facilitated with Q151M complex mutations.
Introduction: This second-generation NRTI showed improved antiviral activity against infections harboring TAMs (D67N, K70R and T215Y) and NAMs (Q151M).
Introduction: Two distinct TAM (TAM-1 and -2) pathways lead to the stepwise accumulation of major (M41L, K70R and T215Y/F), minor/secondary (D67N and L210W) and compensatory (

Abstract: Single mutations associated with resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (T215Y/F [n = 3]) and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (V108I [n = 1], L100I [n = 1], and Y181C [n = 2]) were observed in 7 of 75 (9.3%) group M samples.

Abstract: To provide insight into the biochemical mechanism(s) involved, we investigated the effect of the G333D mutation in the connection domain of RT on resistance to zidovudine (AZT) and lamivudine (3TC) in enzymes that contain both M184V and thymidine analog mutations (TAMs; M41L, L210W, and T215Y).
AZT resistance of simian foamy virus reverse transcriptase is based on the excision of AZTMP in the presence of ATP.
Discussion: For HIV-1 RT it was concluded from biochemical and structural data that the exchange of T215 to an aromatic residue (T215F/Y) enhances binding of ATP, but not PPi, thus facilitating excision.
Discussion: The mutations involved in the enhanced excision of AZTMP in HIV-1 RT are M41L, D67N, K70R, T215Y/F and K219Q/E (Figure 7).

Abstract: In the reverse transcriptase sequence, M41L and T215Y/S were more common in patients infected with subtype B virus (P<0.05, chi(2)).
Amino acid mutation N348I in the connection subdomain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase confers multiclass resistance to nucleoside and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
Abstract: Acquisition of N348I was frequently observed in AZT- and/or ddI-containing therapy (12.5%; n = 48; P < 0.0001) and was accompanied with thymidine analogue-associated mutations, e.g., T215Y (n = 5/6) and the lamivudine resistance mutation M184V (n = 1/6) in a Japanese cohort.
Identification of a novel resistance (E40F) and compensatory (K43E) substitution in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Abstract: Both amino acid changes are strongly associated with the well known NRTI-resistance mutations M41L, L210W and T215Y.
Method: Genotyping revealed that the increase in RNA load was associated with the appearance of M41L, L210W and T215Y.
Method: To determine the influence of the E40F and/or K43E amino acid substitutions, these changes were introduced in a wild type reference strain (HIV-1 HXB2) and a virus clone harbouring the M41L and T215Y amino acid changes.
Method: To introduce the K43E change in respectively the wild type plasmid, the plasmid co

Abstract: In addition, another 17 variants (4.2%, n = 17) with only 215-revertant mutations (T215C/D/G/L/S) that can easily reconvert to the nucleoside analogue-associated mutation of T215Y/F were found.
