Abstract:
:HIV-1 protease activity is essential for viral replication. In spite of the high rates of HIV mutation, the active site of protease (residues 24-29) is a conserved site, where mutations have not been previously described. To determine the effect of mutations at positions T26 and A29 of the viral protease and its viability in recombinant HIV-1 strains, Sup-t1 cells were transfected by electroporation with PCR products from a protease containing the 26X or 29X mutation. These mutations were constructed by mutagenesis site directed with degenerative primers. Both changes modified the replicative capacity of the virus: viruses containing the 26X mutation have delayed replication as compared to the control virus HTLVIII B; the presence of the 29X mutation in the viral protease results in the absence of HIV-1 replication. These findings confirm that this region of the viral protease appears to be necessary for the viability of HIV-1, and it could be a good target for antiviral therapy.
