ABSTRACT The phenylmethylthiazolylthiourea (PETT) derivative MSK-076 shows, besides high potency against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), marked activity against HIV-2 (50% effective concentration, 0.63 μM) in cell culture. Time-of-addition experiments pointed to HIV-2 reverse transcriptase (RT) as the target of action of MSK-076. Recombinant HIV-2 RT was inhibited by MSK-076 at 23 μM. As was also found for HIV-1 RT, MSK-076 inhibited HIV-2 RT in a noncompetitive manner with respect to dGTP and poly(rC)·oligo(dG) as the substrate and template-primer, respectively. MSK-076 selected for A101P and G112E mutations in HIV-2 RT and for K101E, Y181C, and G190R mutations in HIV-1 RT. The selected mutated strains of HIV-2 were fully resistant to MSK-076, and the mutant HIV-2 RT enzymes into which the A101P and/or G112E mutation was introduced by site-directed mutagenesis showed more than 50-fold resistance to MSK-076. Mapping of the resistance mutations to the HIV-2 RT structure ascertained that A101P is located at a position equivalent to the nonnucleoside RT inhibitor (NNRTI)-binding site of HIV-1 RT. G112E, however, is distal to the putative NNRTI-binding site in HIV-2 RT but close to the active site, implying a novel molecular mode of action and mechanism of resistance. Our findings have important implications for the development of new NNRTIs with pronounced activity against a wider range of lentiviruses.

ABSTRACT In retroviruses, the first nucleotide added to the tRNA primer defines the end of the U5 region in the right long terminal repeat, and the subsequent removal of this tRNA primer by RNase H exactly defines the U5 end of the linear double-stranded DNA. In most retroviruses, the entire tRNA is removed by RNase H cleavage at the RNA/DNA junction. However, the RNase H domain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase cleaves the tRNA 1 nucleotide from the RNA/DNA junction at the U5/primer binding site (PBS) junction, which leaves an rA residue at the U5 terminus. We made sequence changes at the end of the U5 region adjacent to the PBS in HIV-1 to determine whether such changes affect the specificity of tRNA primer cleavage by RNase H. In some of the mutants, RNase H usually removed the entire tRNA, showing that the cleavage specificity was shifted by 1 nucleotide. This result suggests that the tRNA cleavage specificity of the HIV-1 RNase domain H depends on sequences in U5.

ABSTRACT A recombinant simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) derived from strain 239 (SIVmac239) with reverse transcriptase (RT) sequences from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strain HXB2 was severely impaired for replication. Detectable p27Gag levels were not observed until day 65 and peak p27Gag levels were not reached until day 75 after transfection of CEMx174 cells with the recombinant DNA. Sequences from the latter time point did not contain amino acid substitutions in HIV-1 RT; however, a single nucleotide substitution (thymine to cytosine) was found at position eight of the SIV primer binding site. We engineered an RT/SHIV genome with the thymine-to-cytosine substitution, called RT/SHIV/TC, and observed dramatically faster replication kinetics than were observed with the parental RT/SHIV from which this variant was derived. RT/SHIV/TC provides an improved system for study of the impact of drug resistance mutations in HIV-1 RT in a relevant animal model.
