Abstract: V77I was associated with two synonymous substitutions in triplets 31 and 78, suggesting that all V77I-bearing viruses evolved from a single source in 1997.
Abstract: However, 13 of 23 (56.5%) subtype A isolates bore the V77I substitution known as the secondary protease mutation.
Abstract: Hybridization analysis showed that 55 of 115 (47.8%) HIV-1 isolates contained V77I, but this variant was not found in any of 31 DNA samples taken from regions, where the HIV-1 epidemic among IDUs started earlier 1997, as well as in any of four CRF03_AB isolates.
Abstract: This finding demonstrates the transmission of the V77I mutant variant, which is spreading rapidly within the circulating viral pool in Russia and Kazakhstan.

Abstract: Significant differences were found in the rates of M36I (98 and 36%), L63P (35 and 59%), A71V (3 and 32%), V77I (0 and 36%), and I93L (91 and 32%) (0.0001 < P < 0.05) in C and B, respectively.

Abstract: In the protease gene, differences between patients infected with B or non-B strains were mainly observed for mutations playing a minor role in drug resistance and known to occur mainly as a natural polymorphism in non-B strains: K20R/M/I, M36I, L63P, A71V/T, and V77I.

Abstract: Secondary PI resistance-associated mutations were identified at five sites: L10I/V (16%), K20R (8%), M36I (98%), L63P (13%), and V77I (6%).

Abstract: Accessory mutations were found in the PR gene at the following positions: L63P/V/T/A/I [153/345 (44.3%)], M36I/L [149/345 (43.2%)], L10I/F/V [82/345 (23.8%)], V77I [60/345 (17.4%)], A71V/T [11/345 (3.2%)], K20M/R [10/345 (2.9%)], and V82I [4/345 (1.2%)].
Rates of transmission of antiretroviral drug resistant strains of HIV-1.
Abstract: Secondary mutations/polymorphisms were seen in the PR at position L10I/V, K20R, M36I, L63P, A71T/V, or V77I in 60%.

Abstract: While the occurrence of 361, 63P, and 71T mutations in Barbadian strains was similar to the global prevalence for subtype B variants, the frequency (64%) of the V77I mutation was more than three times that seen worldwide.

Abstract: Substitutions characteristic with the subtype B/B' sequences mainly among hemophiliacs included L63P (87%), A71V/T (27%), and V77I (93%) while those that characterized the non-B sequences mainly found among heterosexuals included M36I (69%) and K20R (19%).

Abstract: Prevalence of known drug resistance mutations revealed slightly significant differences among B and non-B subtypes: L10I, 21 and 64%, K20R, 13 and 43%, M36I, 34 and 100%, L63P, 76 and 36%, A71V/T, 24 and 0%, and V77I, 32 and 0%, respectively, in the protease (0.0001 = P = 0.0886), and D67N, 38 and 8%, K70R, 33 and 0%, R211K, 49 and 85%, and K219Q/E, 31 and 0%, respectively, in the reverse transcriptase (0.0256 = P = 0.0704).
Nelfinavir-resistant, amprenavir-hypersusceptible strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 carrying an N88S mutation in protease have reduced infectivity, reduced replication capacity, and reduced fitness and process the Gag polyprotein precursor aberrantly.
Abstract: Addition of mutation M46L to a strain harboring mutations L63P, V77I, and N88S resulted in a reduction of fitness and infectivity without changing Gag-processing efficiency, while amprenavir hypersusceptibility was further diminished.
Abstract: Here we demonstrate that substitutions L63P and V77I in protease, in combination, partially compensate for the loss of fitness, loss of replication capacity, loss of specific infectivity, and aberrant Gag processing induced by the N88S mutation.
