Herein, we phenotypically and enzymatically characterize the theoretical mutation Q579I in helix K and the already described clinical mutation K805Q in helix P of cytomegalovirus DNA polymerase for susceptibility to foscarnet. Q579I and K805Q recombinant viruses were hypersusceptible to foscarnet (respective mean 50% effective concentrations [EC] of 0.12- and 0.19-fold that of the wild type). Three-dimensional modeling analysis suggested that both mutations favor the closed conformation of the enzyme to which foscarnet binds with a higher affinity.
在此，我们对巨细胞病毒 DNA 聚合酶螺旋 K 中的理论突变 Q579I 和螺旋 P 中已经描述的临床突变 K805Q 进行表型和酶学特征分析，以确定它们对膦甲酸的敏感性。Q579I 和 K805Q 重组病毒对膦甲酸高度敏感（相对于野生型，分别为 50%有效浓度 [EC] 的 0.12 倍和 0.19 倍）。三维建模分析表明，这两种突变都有利于酶的闭合构象，膦甲酸与该构象具有更高的亲和力。
