Abstract We have analyzed mutations in the thymidine kinase (TK) gene of varicella zoster virus (VZV) which showed resistance to 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IDU) and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrDU). Through sequencing of the TK gene, we found three amino acids were exchanged (41 Asn-->Ser, 266 Cys-->Ile, 288 Ser-->Leu). These mutations were not located at either the nucleoside- or the ATP-binding site. This result suggests that the resistance to IDU and BrDU in this particular strain is due to the change in conformation of TK rather than the replacement of amino acids in the binding sites.

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.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
