Abstract The nucleotide sequence of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is highly conserved, most strains sharing at least 95% sequence identity. This sequence conservation is also found in the viral env gene, which codes for the two envelope glycoproteins that play a major role in the induction of a protective immune response against the virus. However, recent reports have indicated that some variations in env sequences may induce incomplete cross-reactivity between HTLV-1 strains. To identify the amino acid changes that might be involved in the antigenicity of neutralizable epitopes, we constructed expression vectors coding for the envelope glycoproteins of two HTLV-1 isolates (2060 and 2072) which induced human antibodies with different neutralization patterns. The amino acid sequences of the envelope glycoproteins differed at four positions. Vectors coding for chimeric or point-mutated envelope proteins were derived from 2060 and 2072 HTLV-1 env genes. Syncytium formation induced by the wild-type or mutated envelope proteins was inhibited by human sera with different neutralizing specificities. We thus identified two amino acid changes, I173-->V and A187-->T, that play an important role in the antigenicity of neutralizable epitopes located in this region of the surface envelope glycoprotein.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
