Studies of drug-resistant reverse transcriptases
(RTs) reveal the roles of specific structural elements and amino acids
in polymerase function. To characterize better the effects of
RT/template interactions on dNTP substrate recognition, we examined the
sensitivity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RT
containing a new mutation in a "template grip" residue (P157S) to
the 5'-triphosphates of ( )- -2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC),
( )- -2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluoro-3'-thiacytidine (FTC), and
3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT). A primer extension assay was used to
monitor quantitatively drug monophosphate incorporation opposite each
of multiple target sites. Wild-type and P157S RTs had similar catalytic
activities and processivities on heteropolymeric RNA and DNA templates.
When averaged over multiple template sites, P157S RT was 2-7-fold
resistant to the 5'-triphosphates of 3TC, FTC, and AZT. Each drug
triphosphate inhibited polymerization more efficiently on the DNA
template compared with an RNA template of identical sequence. Moreover,
chain termination by 3TC and FTC was strongly influenced by template
sequence context. Incorporation of FTC and 3TC monophosphate varied up
to 10-fold opposite 7 different G residues in the DNA template, and the
P157S mutation altered this site specificity. In summary, these data
identify Pro157 as an important residue affecting
nucleoside analog resistance and suggest that interactions between RT
and the template strand influence dNTP substrate recognition at the RT
active site. Our findings are discussed within the context of the HIV-1
RT structure.
