MoMLV Reverse Transcriptase Regulates Its Own Expression
نویسندگان
چکیده
A precise ratio of Gag:Gag-Pol expression is required for assembly of infectious retroviral virions. In this issue of Cell, Orlova et al. show that MoMLV reverse transcriptase binds the translation release factor eRF1, and that this interaction promotes translation readthrough to make Gag-Pol.

Structural basis of suppression of host translation termination by Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus
Retroviral reverse transcriptase (RT) of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV) is expressed in the form of a large Gag-Pol precursor protein by suppression of translational termination in which the maximal efficiency of stop codon read-through depends on the interaction between MoMLV RT and peptidyl release factor 1 (eRF1). Here, we report the crystal structure of MoMLV RT in complex with eRF1....
متن کاملComparison of Moloney murine leukemia virus mutation rate with the fidelity of its reverse transcriptase in vitro.
The role of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV) reverse transcriptase (RT) in the generation of base substitution mutations during retroviral replication was analyzed. To that effect, the in vitro fidelity of the MoMLV RT was compared to the rate of base substitution mutations occurring during the replication of an MoMLV-based retroviral vector. Using the vector in an amber reversion assay, t...
متن کاملThe non-reverse transcriptase activity of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase promotes tumor progression (review).
In human cancer, high expression of telomerase is correlated with tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), which regulates telomere length, can promote tumor development. Most research on hTERT has been focused on its crucial function of telomere maintenance. However, there are many phenomena that cannot be explained by its reverse transcrip...
متن کاملHwp1 gene Expression of Candida albicans and Study its role in adherence
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen found as mycoflora in the human body surfaces. Sevral genes play a crucial rule in its virulence including Hwp1 (hyphal wall protein 1), BCR1 and ALS gene family. Hwp1 gene is a responsible for coding a cell surface protein, which mediates biofilm formation in candida albicans. Here we investigated the presence of the HWP1gene was characteris...
متن کاملExpression Pattern of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (hTERT) Variants and Bcl-2 in Peripheral Lymphocytes of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background & Objective: It is not clear whether activated lymphocytes of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are more proliferative or less apoptotic. We aimed to delineate potential differences between B and T cells of SLE patients compared to healthy controls regarding the telomerase activity and apoptosis status. Methods: In this cross-sec...
