Abstract We reported previously that substitutions F61L, F61W, F61Y and F61A in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase affect strand displacement synthesis [T. S. Fisher, T. Darden and V. R. Prasad (2003) J. Mol. Biol., 325, 443-459]. We have now determined the effect of these mutations on HIV replication. All mutant viruses were replication defective. Measuring replication intermediates in infected cells did not reveal a specific block as all mutants displayed reduced DNA synthesis (wild-type>F61L>F61W>F61Y>F61A). Analysis of 2-LTR circle junctions revealed that F61W and F61Y mutants generated increased aberrant circle junctions. Circle junctions corresponding to F61Y included 3'-PPT insertions suggesting ribonuclease H defect. In vitro assays mimicking PPT primer generation indicated that F61L, F61W and F61Y mutant RTs were unaffected, while F61A mutant cleaved both at PPT/U3 junction and at +6 with similar efficiencies. In assays measuring cleavage at the RNA/DNA junction to remove the PPT primer, all mutants were significantly affected with F61Y and F61A being most severely impaired. Our results show that (i) replication block of most mutants is due to more than one biochemical defect; (ii) mutations in polymerase domain can affect the function of a distal domain; and (iii) virological analyses of RT mutations can yield insight into structure-function relationship that is otherwise not obvious.

Note
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
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
