Modification for the Mechanism of Retroviral Recombination
نویسنده
چکیده
Figure 1: The original minus strand exchange model. (A) The retroviral virion contains two essentially identical RNA molecules. (B) An extended singlestranded DNA molecule is left tailing behind. This single-stranded DNA tail is free to form a hybrid duplex with another RNA molecule. (C) The original template will be displaced by branch migration of the second RNA. This second RNA molecule will replace the original RNA as the template for continued synthesis. Modification for the Mechanism of Retroviral Recombination

Effects of Resistance Training and Lifestyle Modification on TCD4+cell Count and Body Composition of HIV+ Patients
Background and purpose: Anti-retroviral therapy has raised life expectancy of HIV+ patients, but, it is associated with some adverse effects. Physical exercise as a non-pharmacological approach could be helpful in reducing some adverse effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of resistance training (RT) and lifestyle modification program (LMP) on TCD+ cell count and b...
متن کاملUtilization of Site-Specific Recombination in Biopharmaceutical Production
Mammalian expression systems, due to their capacity in post-translational modification, are preferred systems for biopharmaceutical protein production. Several recombinant protein systems have been introduced to the market, most of which are under clinical development. In spite of significant improvements such as cell line engineering, introducing novel expression methods, gene silencing and pr...
متن کاملCorrelated template-switching events during minus-strand DNA synthesis: a mechanism for high negative interference during retroviral recombination.
Two models for the mechanism of retroviral recombination have been proposed: forced copy choice (minus-strand recombination) and strand displacement-assimilation (plus-strand recombination). Each minus-strand recombination event results in one template switch, whereas each plus-strand recombination event results in two template switches. Recombinant proviruses with one and more than one templat...
متن کاملDirect demonstration of retroviral recombination in a rhesus monkey.
Recombination may be an important mechanism for increasing variation in retroviral populations. Retroviral recombination has been demonstrated in tissue culture systems by artificially creating doubly infected cells. Evidence for retroviral recombination in vivo is indirect and is based principally on the identification of apparently mosaic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 genomes from phylo...
متن کاملSuppression of retroviral infection by the RAD52 DNA repair protein.
Reverse transcription of retroviral RNA into linear double-stranded DNA and its integration into the host cell genome are essential steps in the retroviral life cycle. The nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway has been implicated in protecting cells from retrovirus-induced apoptosis caused by strand breaks in host cell DNA or unintegrated linear viral DNA. In eukaryotes, both the ...
