Intrinsic properties of reverse transcriptase in reverse transcription. Associated RNase H is essentially regarded as an endonuclease.
The intrinsic properties of reverse transcriptase in reverse transcription were studied using a synthetic, partial ovalbumin mRNA with a synthetic DNA oligonucleotide annealed to the 3'-end of the RNA as a model substrate. With or without concomitant cDNA synthesis, the RNase H activity of avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV)-reverse transcriptase cleaved the substrate at a site which would leave a...
متن کاملNucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors possess intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity.
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are mainstay therapeutics for HIV that block retrovirus replication. Alu (an endogenous retroelement that also requires reverse transcriptase for its life cycle)-derived RNAs activate P2X7 and the NLRP3 inflammasome to cause cell death of the retinal pigment epithelium in geographic atrophy, a type of age-related macular degeneration. We found...
متن کاملTranscription Regulation of the Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (hTERT) Gene
Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells have the ability to maintain their telomere length via expression of an enzymatic complex called telomerase. Similarly, more than 85%-90% of cancer cells are found to upregulate the expression of telomerase, conferring them with the potential to proliferate indefinitely. Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT), the catalytic subunit of tel...
متن کاملReverse Transcriptase and Cellular Factors: Regulators of HIV-1 Reverse Transcription
There is ample evidence that synthesis of HIV-1 proviral DNA from the viral RNA genome during reverse transcription requires host factors. However, only a few cellular proteins have been described in detail that affect reverse transcription and interact with reverse transcriptase (RT). HIV-1 integrase is an RT binding protein and a number of IN-binding proteins including INI1, components of the...
متن کاملNucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
4 Optimal HIV-1 suppression often is difficult to achieve and maintain with currently available antiretroviral drugs, and viral resistance eventually emerges to many drugs. Chronic antiretroviral therapy is also associated with complications such as body fat redistribution, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia, abnormal glucose metabolism, lactic acidosis, pancreatitis, avascular necro...
