Plus-strand strong-stop DNA transfer in yeast Ty retrotransposons.
The yeast Ty1 LTR retrotransposon replicates by reverse transcription and integration; the process shows many similarities to the retroviral life cycle. However, we show that plus strand strong-stop DNA transfer in yeast Ty1 elements differs from the analogous retroviral process. By analysis of the native structure of the Ty1 primer binding site and by a series of manipulations of this region a...
متن کاملPremature strand transfer by the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase during strong-stop DNA synthesis.
Reverse transcription of retroviral genomes starts near the 5' end of the viral RNA by use of an associated tRNA primer. According to the current model of reverse transcription, the initial cDNA product, termed minus-strand strong-stop DNA, 'jumps' to a repeated sequence (R region) at the 3' end of the RNA template. The human retroviruses have relatively long R regions (97-247 nucleotides) when...
متن کاملHeterogeneous terminal structure of Ty1 and Ty3 reverse transcripts.
A specific terminal structure of preintegrative DNA is required for transposition of retroviruses and LTR-retrotransposons. We have used an anchored PCR technique to map the 3'ends of DNA intermediates synthesized inside yeast Ty1 and Ty3 retrotransposon virus-like particles. We find that, unlike retroviruses, Ty1 replicated DNA does not have two extra base pairs at its 3'ends. In contrast some...
متن کاملStructural Insights into the HIV-1 Minus-strand Strong-stop DNA.
An essential step of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcription is the first strand transfer that requires base pairing of the R region at the 3'-end of the genomic RNA with the complementary r region at the 3'-end of minus-strand strong-stop DNA (ssDNA). HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NC) facilitates this annealing process. Determination of the ssDNA structure is needed to ...
متن کاملRevisiting Plus-Strand DNA Synthesis in Retroviruses and Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons: Dynamics of Enzyme: Substrate Interactions
Although polypurine tract (PPT)-primed initiation of plus-strand DNA synthesis in retroviruses and LTR-containing retrotransposons can be accurately duplicated, the molecular details underlying this concerted series of events remain largely unknown. Importantly, the PPT 3' terminus must be accommodated by ribonuclease H (RNase H) and DNA polymerase catalytic centers situated at either terminus ...
