Insertions in the protease (PR) region of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) represent an interesting mechanism of antiviral resistance against HIV PR inhibitors (PIs). Here, we demonstrate the improved ability of a phosphonate-containing experimental HIV PI, GS-8374, relative to that of other PIs, to effectively inhibit patient-derived recombinant HIV strains bearing PR insertions and numerous other mutations. We correlate enzyme inhibition with the catalytic activities of corresponding recombinant PRs in vitro and provide a biochemical and structural analysis of the PR-inhibitor complex.
插入蛋白酶(PR)区域的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)代表了一种针对 HIV PR 抑制剂(PI)的抗病毒耐药的有趣机制。在这里,我们证明了含有膦酸酯的实验性 HIV PI GS-8374 相对于其他 PI 具有更高的能力,可有效抑制携带 PR 插入和许多其他突变的患者源性重组 HIV 株。我们将酶抑制与相应的重组 PR 的体外催化活性相关联,并提供 PR-抑制剂复合物的生化和结构分析。
