Abstract
- Nucleotide and amino acid substitution pattern in vif gene of the Korean clade of HIV-1 isolated from Koreans were analyzed using consensus sequences. At nucleotide level, transition/transversion substitution ratio was 1.88, and nonsynonymous/synonymous substitution ratio was 2.67, suggesting a divergent <br>evolution in the Korean clade. At amino acid level, there were 17 substitutions and G→E substitution at position 37 may be responsible for change in predicted secondary structure.

Abstract
- Phylogenetic studies of nef, pol, and env gene sequences of HIV-1 isolated from Koreans suggested the presence of a Korean clade in which Korean sequences are clustered to the exclusion of foreign sequences. We attempted to identify and characterize the Korean clade using all vif gene sequences isolated from Koreans registered in the NCBI GenBank database (n = 233). Most (77%) of the Korean isolates belonged to the Korean clade as a large subcluster in subtype B, designated the Korean clade subtype B (KCB). KCB sequences were relatively homogenous compared to Korean subtype B sequences that did not belong to the KCB (non-Korean clade subtype B; NKCB). Comparison of amino acid frequencies of KCB and NKCB sequences revealed several positions where the amino acid frequencies were significantly different. These amino acid residues were critical in separating KCB from NKCB or from foreign sequences, since substitution of these amino acids in KCB with the NKCB amino acids relocated the KCB sequences to NKCB, and vice versa. Further analyses of KCB will help us to understand the origin and evolutionary history of KCB.
