Kinetics and inhibition of reverse transcriptase from human and simian immunodeficiency viruses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reverse transcriptase from the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) was found to have kinetic behavior similar to that of enzyme from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Michaelis constants for the substrates TTP and dGTP and inhibition constants for the inhibitors 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate, 2',3'-dideoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate, and 2'-3'-dideoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate were obtained for SIV reverse transcriptase and were found to be similar to the corresponding values for HIV reverse transcriptase. Thus, the interaction of SIV reverse transcriptase with nucleotide analogs appears to be indistinguishable from that of the HIV enzyme, suggesting that SIV/simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (SAIDS) is a potentially good model of AIDS.

The efficiency of reverse transcription to synthesize viral DNA in infected cells greatly influences replication kinetics of retroviruses. However, viral replication in non-dividing cells such as resting T cells and terminally differentiated macrophages is potently and kinetically restricted by a host antiviral factor designated SAMHD1 (sterile alpha motif and HD-domain containing protein 1). S...

Antiviral resistance is a significant obstacle in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals. Because nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) specifically target HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and do not effectively inhibit simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) RT, the development of animal models to study the evolution of antiviral resista...

Limited information is available on the activity of antiretroviral drugs against human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) strains to guide their use in treatment or prophylaxis. We evaluated the antiviral activity of 16 approved drugs and one experimental drug, AMD3100, against two wild-type HIV-2 (ROD and EHO) isolates, two strains of SIV (mac251 and ...
متن کاملFidelity of reverse transcriptase of the simian immunodeficiency virus from African green monkey.
The in vitro fidelity of highly purified recombinant reverse transcriptase from simian immunodeficiency virus of African green monkeys (SIVagm) was determined. By using the phi X174am16 reversion assay an overall error rate of 1/19,000 was determined. This is 2.4-fold higher than the overall accuracy of purified recombinant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, measured in parallel. The evaluation of er...
