We have selected and plaque purified a mutant of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) that is resistant to 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC). This mutant was selected in cultured cells in the continuous presence of 25 microM ddC. The mutant, designated DCR-5c, was fourfold resistant to ddC, threefold resistant to 2',3'-dideoxyinosine, and more than fourfold resistant to phosphonoformic acid. DCR-5c displayed little or no resistance to (-)-beta-2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine, 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine, or 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl) adenine. Reverse transcriptase purified from DCR-5c was less susceptible to inhibition by ddCTP, phosphonoformic acid, ddATP, or azido-dTTP than the wild-type FIV reverse transcriptase. Sequence analysis of DCR-5c revealed a single base change (G to C at nucleotide 2342) in the reverse transcriptase-encoding region of FIV. This mutation results in substitution of His for Asp at codon 3 of FIV reverse transcriptase. The role of this mutation in ddC resistance was confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis.
我们筛选并通过噬菌斑纯化了一株对2',3'-二脱氧胞苷(ddC)具有抗性的猫免疫缺陷病毒(FIV)突变体。该突变体是在含有25微摩尔ddC的培养细胞中持续筛选得到的。这个名为DCR-5c的突变体对ddC具有四倍抗性,对2',3'-二脱氧肌苷具有三倍抗性,对膦甲酸具有四倍以上抗性。DCR-5c对(-)-β-2',3'-二脱氧-3'-硫代胞苷、3'-叠氮-3'-脱氧胸苷或9-(2-膦酰甲氧基乙基)腺嘌呤几乎没有抗性。从DCR-5c中纯化得到的逆转录酶比野生型FIV逆转录酶更不易受到ddCTP、膦甲酸、ddATP或叠氮-dTTP的抑制。对DCR-5c的序列分析显示,FIV逆转录酶编码区有一个单碱基变化(核苷酸2342处的G变为C)。这种突变导致FIV逆转录酶第3密码子处的天冬氨酸被组氨酸取代。通过定点诱变证实了这种突变在ddC抗性中的作用。
