从自然进化的限制性因素中鉴定HIV耐药突变

Identification of drug resistance mutations in HIV from constraints on natural evolution

Thomas C. Butler, John P. Barton, Mehran Kardar, Arup K. Chakraborty

摘要:

人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)以惊人的速度进化。然而,它的进化受到其适应度景观中突变之间的相互作用的约束。在这里,我们表明,伊辛模型描述这些相互作用,从使用抗逆转录病毒药物之前获得的序列数据推断,可用于确定临床上重要的耐药突变位点。成功预测耐药位点表明在单残基水平上开发成功的真实病毒进化模型方面取得了进展,并表明我们的方法可用于帮助设计新的治疗方法,即使在尚未获得耐药数据的情况下也不容易失败。

英文摘要:

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) evolves with extraordinary rapidity. However, its evolution is constrained by interactions between mutations in its fitness landscape. Here we show that an Ising model describing these interactions, inferred from sequence data obtained prior to the use of antiretroviral drugs, can be used to identify clinically significant sites of resistance mutations. Successful predictions of the resistance sites indicate progress in the development of successful models of real viral evolution at the single residue level, and suggest that our approach may be applied to help design new therapies that are less prone to failure even where resistance data is not yet available.
