Mutations at amino acid positions 63, 189, and 396 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (RT) partially restore the DNA polymerase activity of a Trp229Tyr mutant RT.

Trp229 is part of the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-binding pocket of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). It is also an important constituent of the so-called "primer grip." Using a recombinant virus assay, we tried to obtain recombinant virus containing a Trp229Phe o...
