Differential incorporation and removal of antiviral deoxynucleotides by human DNA polymerase gamma

Abstract

Mitochondrial toxicity can result from antiviral nucleotide analog therapy used to control human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection. We evaluated the ability of such analogs to inhibit DNA synthesis by the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase (pol gamma) by comparing the insertion and exonucleolytic removal of six antiviral nucleotide analogs. Apparent steady-state K(m) and k(cat) values for insertion of 2',3'-dideoxy-TTP (ddTTP), 3'-azido-TTP (AZT-TP), 2',3'-dideoxy-CTP (ddCTP), 2',3'-didehydro-TTP (D4T-TP), (-)-2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC-TP), and carbocyclic 2',3'-didehydro-ddGTP (CBV-TP) indicated incorporation of all six analogs, albeit with varying efficiencies. Dideoxynucleotides and D4T-TP were utilized by pol gamma in vitro as efficiently as natural deoxynucleotides, whereas AZT-TP, 3TC-TP, and CBV-TP were only moderate inhibitors of DNA chain elongation. Inefficient excision of dideoxynucleotides, D4T, AZT, and CBV from DNA predicts persistence in vivo following successful incorporation. In contrast, removal of 3'-terminal 3TC residues was 50% as efficient as natural 3' termini. Finally, we observed inhibition of exonuclease activity by concentrations of AZT-monophosphate known to occur in cells. Thus, altho...Continue Reading
