Abstract
Mutations in the cytomegalovirus UL97 kinase gene contribute to antiviral resistance. Mutations A594S and G598D from two clinical isolates were analyzed, and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-engineered A594S recombinant cytomegalovirus exhibited a ganciclovir-resistant phenotype on plaque reduction. Viral replication was comparable to that of the wild type. Cell-based kinase activity and autophosphorylation of ectopically expressed proteins showed that mutants retained some kinase activity. This study showed that patient-derived cytomegalovirus with different ganciclovir sensitivities retained replication efficiency and exhibited some kinase activity in vitro.Entities:
