We have shown that a drug-resistant mutant from a clinical isolate of herpes simplex virus contains a single point mutation in the DNA polymerase gene that confers resistance to both acyclovir and foscarnet. The mutated amino acid is located within a distinct conserved region shared among alpha-like DNA polymerases which we designate region VII. We infer that these conserved sequences are directly or indirectly involved in the recognition and binding of nucleotide and PPi substrates.
我们已经证明,从单纯疱疹病毒临床分离株中获得的耐药突变体在DNA聚合酶基因中含有一个单点突变,该突变赋予了对阿昔洛韦和膦甲酸的耐药性。突变的氨基酸位于α样DNA聚合酶共有的一个独特保守区域内,我们将其命名为区域VII。我们推断,这些保守序列直接或间接参与核苷酸和焦磷酸底物的识别和结合。
