HCV Mutation Detail Information

Virus Mutation HCV Mutation S282T


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site S282T
Mutation Site Sentence Sofosbuvir (SOF), an anti-NS5B polymerase inhibitor, is a core component of many anti-HCV DAA cocktail regimens, and its resistant mutations are rare in clinics because these mutations usually severely impair the NS5B polymerase activity, including a mutation S282T in NS5B, the most frequently reported SOF-resistant mutation.

Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Among its 8 genotypes (GT), GT3 has a relatively lower sustained virological response to highly effective direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA). Sofosbuvir (SOF), an anti-NS5B polymerase inhibitor, is a core component of many anti-HCV DAA cocktail regimens, and its resistant mutations are rare in clinics because these mutations usually severely impair the NS5B polymerase activity, including a mutation S282T in NS5B, the most frequently reported SOF-resistant mutation. In this study, we selected SOF-resistant variants of a previously developed GT3 subgenomic replicon (PR87A7). Two mutations were identified in the viral genome of SOF-resistant PR87A7 variants, Q606R in nontargeted NS3 and S282T in targeted N5SB. We demonstrated that Q606R could rescue the replication defect of S282T in PR87A7, and the resulting double mutant confers the SOF resistance. Finally, we showed that NS3-606R could not compensate for the replication defect of S282T in other GTs. In conclusion, we identified a novel GT3-specific combination of two mutations that confers SOF resistance. Our result calls for attention to potential mutations that may arise in nontargeted viral proteins during the SOF-based DAA treatment of chronic HCV.

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
