Abstract
Inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) are widely used in the treatment of HIV infection. Loviride (an alpha-APA derivative) and HBY 097 (a quinoxaline derivative) are two potent non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs) that have been used in human clinical trials. A major problem for existing anti-retroviral therapy is the emergence of drug-resistant mutants with reduced susceptibility to the inhibitors. Amino acid residue 103 in the p66 subunit of HIV-1 RT is located near a putative entrance to a hydrophobic pocket that binds NNRTIs. Substitution of asparagine for lysine at position 103 of HIV-1 RT is associated with the development of resistance to NNRTIs; this mutation contributes to clinical failure of treatments employing NNRTIs. We have determined the structures of the unliganded form of the Lys103Asn mutant HIV-1 RT and in complexes with loviride and HBY 097. The structures of wild-type and Lys103Asn mutant HIV-1 RT in complexes with NNRTIs are quite similar overall as well as in the vicinity of the bound NNRTIs. Comparison of unliganded wild-type and Lys103Asn mutant HIV-1 RT structures reveals a network of hydrogen bonds in the Lys103Asn mutant that is not present in the wild-type enzyme. Hydrogen bonds in the unliganded Lys103Asn mutant but not in wild-type HIV-1 RT are observed between (1) the side-chains of Asn103 and Tyr188 and (2) well-ordered water molecules in the pocket and nearby pocket residues. The structural differences between unliganded wild-type and Lys103Asn mutant HIV-1 RT may correspond to stabilization of the closed-pocket form of the enzyme, which could interfere with the ability of inhibitors to bind to the enzyme. These results are consistent with kinetic data indicating that NNRTIs bind more slowly to Lys103Asn mutant than to wild-type HIV-1 RT. This novel drug-resistance mechanism explains the broad cross-resistance of Lys103Asn mutant HIV-1 RT to different classes of NNRTIs. Design of NNRTIs that make favorable interactions with the Asn103 side-chain should be relatively effective against the Lys103Asn drug-resistant mutant.

Figure 3. Stereoview of a SIGMAA weighted 2mFo - DFc difference Fourier map showing the electron density in the NNIBP region of p66 in the unliganded Lys103Asn mutant HIV-1 RT structure. The phases were computed from the final model at 2.7 Å resolution and the map was contoured at 2s. Selected hydrogen-bonding interactions are indicated with broken lines.

The Lys103Asn mutant RT with the additional hydrogen bonding network in the NNIBP region is assumed to be more stable than wild-type HIV-1 RT. The relative stab- ility of wild-type and Lys103Asn mutant HIV-1 RT com- plexes with NNRTIs will depend on the inhibitor.

Figure 1. Diagram of HBY 097 (a quinoxaline derivative) contacts with protein residues around the NNIBP in both (a) wild-type HIV-1 RT/HBY 097 and (b) Tyr188Leu mutant HIV-1 RT/HBY 097 complexes. Distances ( slant 3.6 Å) between protein and inhibitor atoms are indicated.

Figure 4. (a) Stereoview of a difference Fourier m(F[obs] - F[calc]) map showing the electron density of HBY 097 in the wild-type HIV-1 RT/HBY 097 complex. The map is calculated at 3.1 Å resolution with 2s contours (in magenta). The phases were computed from the protein model prior to inclusion of the inhibitor. The green density corresponds to the difference Fourier map (3.7 Å resolution) between HBY 097 and S-0483 complexed with wild-type HIV-1 RT (bromine in S-0483 replaces the methoxy group of HBY 097), contoured at the 5s level, showing the position of the bromine atom and confirming the orientation and placement of the inhibitor.
