Tat is required for efficient HIV-1 reverse transcription.
The ability of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) to undergo efficient reverse transcription is dependent on a number of parameters. These include the binding of the tRNA(3)(Lys) to the HIV-1 primer binding site and the subsequent interaction with the heterodimeric reverse transcriptase. Recently, we demonstrated that TAR RNA was also necessary for efficient HIV-1 reverse transcription. Giv...
متن کاملTopoisomerase II isoforms are required for HIV-1 reverse transcription
Background Human topoisomerase II is present in two forms 170kDa a and 180 kDa b isoform. Early reports have indicated that the topoII poisons and antisense RNA can block viral replication. The objective of present study is to evaluate specific requirement of topoII isomerases in promoting HIV replication and to characterize the HIV-1 replication intermediates to study molecular action of the t...
متن کاملInitiation of HIV Reverse Transcription: Is Enzyme Flipping Required?
Liu and colleagues have recently studied dynamic changes in the orientation of HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) on its nucleic acid substrate during initiation of DNA synthesis. The authors employed a single molecule FRET assay and revealed the existence of an equilibrium between polymerase-competent and "flipped" polymerase-incompetent orientations. RT flipping correlates with enzyme pausing dur...

متن کاملDynamic interactions of the HIV-1 Tat with nucleic acids are critical for Tat activity in reverse transcription
The HIV-1 transactivator of transcription (Tat) protein is thought to stimulate reverse transcription (RTion). The Tat protein and, more specifically, its (44-61) domain were recently shown to promote the annealing of complementary DNA sequences representing the HIV-1 transactivation response element TAR, named dTAR and cTAR, that plays a key role in RTion. Moreover, the kinetic mechanism of th...
