Abstract
The crystal structure of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease mutant G48H with peptidic inhibitor U-89360E is described. Comparison with wild-type protease-inhibitor complex shows that mutation of flap residue 48 to histidine allows stabilizing van der Waals contacts between the side chains of His48 and Phe53 as well as between His48 and the P2' and P3' inhibitor subsites. The flap region is less mobile than in the wild-type enzyme. A model of saquinavir-resistant mutant protease G48V in complex with saquinavir predicts interactions similar to those found in the G48H crystal. Energetic calculations confirm the similarity of the His48 and Val48 interactions.

Fig. 2. Stereo view of the structural relationship of the inhibitor molecule and protease residues 48A, 53A, 48B and 53B. Electron densities from the 2|F[o]|−|F[c]| map are shown at 1 σ contour level. A C[α] to C[α] backbone trace for residues 48 to 53 is included. The position of the side chain of residue B53 in the wild-type structure is also shown (orange).

Fig. 4. Van der Waals interaction of Phe^A53, Val^A48 and the P[3] subsite of saquinavir in the structural model of HIV-1 mutant protease G48V complex with saquinavir. The saquinavir positions in the wild-type crystal structure (orange) and of the G48V mutant model structure (yellow) are both shown. There is a 30° rotation of the saquinavir P[3] planar quinoline group (double ring) in the G48V complex compared to that in the wild-type enzyme. This change appears to be a result of its interaction with Val^48. The van der Waals interaction between Val^48 and Phe^53 is shown but the view does not minimize overlap of the surfaces.
