Reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV- 1)
has low fidelity compared with RTs of other retroviruses and cellular DNA
polymerases. We and others have previously found that the fidelity of
DNA-dependent DNA polymerization (DDDP) of M184V-mutated HIV-1 RT is
significantly higher than that of wild-type RT. Viruses containing the
M184V substitution are highly resistant to (-)-2'- dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine
(3TC) in vitro and in patients treated with 3TC monotherapy. It was of
interest to determine the fidelity of RNA- dependent DNA polymerization
(RDDP) of M184V RT compared with wild-type because this step occurs first
in reverse transcription; errors made during this step may be copied in
subsequent polymerization steps. Using an in vitro mispaired primer
extension assay, M184V-mutated RT exhibited 3-49-fold decreased frequency
of mispair extension compared with wild-type RT. Fidelity differences
between M184V and wild-type RT were most marked in extension of A:G
(49-fold) and A:C (16-fold) mispairs, with only a marginal (3-fold)
decrease in the extension of A:A mispairs. RT containing a methionine to
isoleucine (M184I) mutation showed only slight increases in RDDP fidelity
compared with wild-type, ranging from 1.5- to 6-fold increases. Of the
three RTs tested, wild- type RT was the most error-prone, with mispair
extension frequencies ranging from 6.674 x 10(-1) to 7.454 x10(-2).
