Virus Mutation HCV Mutation T54S


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site T54S
Mutation Site Sentence Our network-based findings suggest a subtype-specific modulatory role of this loop structure on the protease-helicase interface in subtype 1a that likely explains the discrepancy in the persistence of T54S- RAVs between subtype 1a- and 1b-patients (Table 1).

Abstract A variety of amino acid substitutions in the NS3-4A protease of the hepatitis C virus lead to protease inhibitor (PI) resistance. Many of these significantly impair the replication fitness of the resistant variants in a genotype- and subtype-dependent manner, a critical factor in determining the probability with which resistant variants will persist. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. Here, we present a novel residue-interaction network approach to determine how near-neighbor interactions of PI resistance mutations in NS3-4A can impact protease functional sites dependent on their genomic background. We constructed subtype-specific consensus residue networks for subtypes 1a and 1b from protease structure ensembles combined with biological properties of protein residues and evolutionary amino acid conservation. By applying local and global network topology analysis and visual exploration, we characterize PI resistance-associated sites and outline differences in near-neighbor interactions. We find local residue-interaction patterns and features at protease functional sites that are subtype specific. The noncovalent bonding patterns indicate higher fitness costs conferred by PI resistance mutations in a subtype 1b genomic background and explain the prevalence of Q80K and R155K in subtype 1a. Based on local residue interactions, we predict a subtype-specific role for the protease residue NS3-Q80 in molecular mechanisms related to the assembly of infectious virus particles that is supported by experimental data on the capacity of Q80K variants to replicate and produce infectious virus in subtype 1a and 1b cell culture.
