| 16 | Structures of HIV-1 RT-DNA complexes before and after incorporation of the anti-AIDS drug tenofovir显示文摘Tenofovir, also known as PMPA, R-9-(2-(phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenine, is a nucleotide reverse transcriptas e(RT) inhibitor. We have determined the crystal structures of two related complexes ofHIV-1 RT with template primer and tenofovir: (i) a ternary complex at a resolution of 3.0 Angstrom of RT crosslinked to a dideoxy-terminated DNA with tenofovir-diphosphate bound as the incoming substrate; and (ii) a RT DNA complex at a resolution of 3,1 Angstrom with tenofovir at the 3 primer terminus. The tenofovir nucleotide in the tenofovir-terminated structure seems to adopt multiple conformations. Some nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, including 3TC and AZT, have dements (handles) that project beyond the corresponding elements on normal dNTPs (the substrate envelope). HIV-1 RT resistance mechanisms to AZT and 3TC take advantage of these handles; tenofovir's structure lacks handles that could protrude through the substrate envelope to cause resistance. | Tuske,S Sarafianos,SG Clark,AD Ding,JP Naeger,LK White,KL Miller,MD Gibbs,CS Boyer,PL Clark,P Wang,G Gaffney,BL Jones,RA Jerina,DM Hughes,SH Arnold,E | 2005 | 中国生物学文摘2005，19，2： | 0 |
