Retroviral recombination during reverse transcription.
After mixed infection, up to half of related retroviruses are recombinants. During infection, retroviral RNA genomes are first converted to complementary DNA (cDNA) and then to double-stranded DNA. Thus recombination could occur during reverse transcription, by RNA template switching, or after reverse transcription, by breakage and reunion of DNA. It has not been possible to distinguish between...
متن کاملPausing during reverse transcription increases the rate of retroviral recombination.
Retroviruses package two copies of genomic RNA into viral particles. During the minus-sense DNA synthesis step of reverse transcription, the nascent DNA can transfer multiple times between the two copies of the genome, resulting in recombination. The mechanism for this process is similar to the process of obligate strand transfers mediated by the repeat and primer binding site sequences. The lo...
متن کاملPML/TRIM19-Dependent Inhibition of Retroviral Reverse-Transcription by Daxx
PML (Promyelocytic Leukemia protein), also known as TRIM19, belongs to the family of tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins. PML is mainly expressed in the nucleus, where it forms dynamic structures known as PML nuclear bodies that recruit many other proteins, such as Sp100 and Daxx. While the role of PML/TRIM19 in antiviral defense is well documented, its effect on HIV-1 infection remains unclear. H...
متن کاملReverse Transcriptase and Retroviral Replication
Within each viral particle, retroviruses package two copies of a single-stranded RNA genome of about 10 kb. All of the viral genomes contain three major genes, arranged in the order: 5 ́-gag–pol–env-3 ́, and some retroviruses may also have accessory genes (e.g. vif, vpr, tax, etc...). Structural proteins such as MA (matrix protein), CA (capsid protein) and NC (nucleocapsid protein) are encoded wi...
متن کاملModification for the Mechanism of Retroviral Recombination
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...
