Abstract
Tenofovir, also known as PMPA, R-9-(2-(phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenine, is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor. We have determined the crystal structures of two related complexes of HIV-1 RT with template primer and tenofovir: (i) a ternary complex at a resolution of 3.0 A 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 A 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 elements ('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.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Comparison of the chemical structures of tenofovir, dTMP and the NRTIs 3TCMP and AZTMP. The azido group of AZTMP and the sulfur of the L- -oxathialone ring of 3TCMP protrude through the envelope of normal substrates and can serve as handles for the development of NRTI resistance.

Figure 4. The active site of the RT(P) -tenofovir complex with tenofovir in two conformations. In one conformation (tenofovir I), tenofovir stacks with the penultimate primer residue but does not engage in Watson-Crick base-pairing with the template dTMP. The dashed lines for the two base pairs upstream of the 3' terminus are labeled 1 -3 and 1' -3' for the template and primer strands, respectively. In the second conformation (tenofovir II), the adenine of tenofovir is flipped out by ~180° relative to the position of adenine in the first conformation.
