Unraveling the Mechanism of HIV-1 Hypersusceptibility to Tenofovir Imparted by Islatravir Resistance Mutations

In response to the newly approved antiretroviral therapy (ART) islatravir (ISL), the M184V and A114S resistance mutations have emerged in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT). These mutations markedly hypersensitize RT to the globally administered ART tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). We have solved six structures - four by X-ray crystallography and two by cryo-EM - that capture the single- and double-mutant RTs during inhibitor incorporation and...
