Título: | Few mutations in the 5' leader region mediate fitness recovery of debilitated human immunodeficiency type 1 viruses |
Autor: | Yuste, Eloísa; Bordería, Antonio V.; Domingo, Esteban CSIC ORCID; López-Galíndez, Cecilio | Palabras clave: | HIV-1 | Fecha de publicación: | 2005 | Editor: | American Society for Microbiology | Citación: | Journal of Virology, 2005, p. 5421-5427, Vol. 79, No. 9 | Resumen: | Repeated bottleneck passages of RNA viruses result in fitness losses due to the accumulation of deleterious mutations. In contrast, repeated transfers of large virus populations result in exponential fitness increases. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) manifested a drastic fitness loss after a limited number of plaque-to-plaque transfers in MT-4 cells. An analysis of the mutations associated with fitness loss in four debilitated clones revealed mutation frequencies in gag that were threefold higher than those in env. We now show an increase in the fitness of the debilitated HIV-1 clones by repeated passages of large populations. An analysis of the entire genomic nucleotide sequences of these populations showed that few mutations, from two to seven per clone, mediated fitness recovery. Eight of the 20 mutations affected coding regions, mainly by the introduction of nonsynonymous mutations (75%). However, most of the mutations accumulated during fitness recovery (12 of 20) were located in the 5' untranslated leader region of the genome, and more specifically, in the primer binding site (PBS) loop. Two of the viruses incorporated the same mutation in the primer activation signal in the PBS loop, which is critical for the tRNA3Lys-mediated initiation of reverse transcription. Moreover, 25% of the mutations observed were reversions. This fact, together with the presence of a large proportion of nonsynonymous replacements, may disclose the operation, during large population passages, of strong positive selection for optimal HIV-1 replication, which seems to be primarily affected by binding of the tRNA to the PBS and the initiation of reverse transcription | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JVI.79.9.5421-5427.2005 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/8554 | DOI: | 10.1128/JVI.79.9.5421-5427.2005 | ISSN: | 0022-538X | E-ISSN: | 1098-5514 |
