Abstract The use of antiretroviral drugs is accompanied by the emergence of HIV-2 resistances. Thus, it is important to elucidate the mechanisms of resistance to antiretroviral drugs. Here, we propose a structural analysis of 31 drug-resistant mutants of HIV-2 protease (PR2) that is an important target against HIV-2 infection. First, we modeled the structures of each mutant. We then located structural shifts putatively induced by mutations. Finally, we compared wild-type and mutant inhibitor-binding pockets and interfaces to explore the impacts of these induced structural deformations on these two regions. Our results showed that one mutation could induce large structural rearrangements in side-chain and backbone atoms of mutated residue, in its vicinity or further. Structural deformations observed in side-chain atoms are frequent and of greater magnitude, that confirms that to fight drug resistance, interactions with backbone atoms should be favored. We showed that these observed structural deformations modify the conformation, volume, and hydrophobicity of the binding pocket and the composition and size of the PR2 interface. These results suggest that resistance mutations could alter ligand binding by modifying pocket properties and PR2 stability by impacting its interface. Our results reinforce the understanding of the effects of mutations that occurred in PR2 and the different mechanisms of PR2 resistance.

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.
