Complexing reverse transcriptase with polyspermine-ribonuclease.
Polyspermine-ribonuclease (Mr approximately 17 000) and the enzyme transcriptase from Rauscher-leukaemia virus (Mr approximately 70 000) form a complex Mr approx. 160 000) such that the molar ratio of polyspermine-ribonuclease to reverse transcriptase is 5:1. The most favourable condition for complex-formation is in a solution consisting of 0.01 M-Tris/HCl buffer, pH 7.5, 0.25 M-KCl and 1 mM-Mn...
متن کاملInhibitors of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase—Associated Ribonuclease H Activity
HIV-1 enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) is a major target for antiviral drug development, with over half of current FDA-approved therapeutics against HIV infection targeting the DNA polymerase activity of this enzyme. HIV-1 RT is a multifunctional enzyme that has RNA and DNA dependent polymerase activity, along with ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity. The latter is responsible for degradation of...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase-associated ribonuclease H activity by hydroxylated tropolones
High-throughput screening of a National Cancer Institute library of pure natural products identified the hydroxylated tropolone derivatives beta-thujaplicinol (2,7-dihydroxy-4-1(methylethyl)-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one) and manicol (1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-7-dihydroxy-9-methyl-2-(1-methylethenyl)-6H-benzocyclohepten-6-one) as potent and selective inhibitors of the ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity...
متن کاملSelective unfolding of one Ribonuclease H domain of HIV reverse transcriptase is linked to homodimer formation
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT), a critical enzyme of the HIV life cycle and an important drug target, undergoes complex and largely uncharacterized conformational rearrangements that underlie its asymmetric folding, dimerization and subunit-selective ribonuclease H domain (RH) proteolysis. In the present article we have used a combination of NMR spectroscopy, small angle X-ray scattering and ...
متن کاملArgentine plant extracts active against polymerase and ribonuclease H activities of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts of four Argentine plants (Gamochaeta simplicaulis Cabr. 1, Achyrocline flaccida Wein. D. C. 2, Eupatorium buniifolium H. et A. 3, and Phyllanthus sellowianus Muell. Arg. 4) were examined in vitro for their ability to inhibit the polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNase H) activities of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) (wild a...
