Comments Retroviral reverse transcriptase is a multifunctional enzyme responsible for viral replication. To perform this task the enzyme combines two distinct activities. The polymerase domain (EC?2.7.7.49, RNA-directed DNA polymerase) occupies the N-terminal two-thirds of the reverse transcriptase whereas the ribonuclease H domain comprises the C-terminal remaining one-third [13,14]. The RNase H domain of Moloney murine leukemia virus and Human immunodeficiency virus display two metal binding sites [15-17].
Cofactor
History
Reactions Endohydrolysis of Rna in RNA/DNA hybrids. Three different cleavage modes: 1. sequence-specific internal cleavage of Rna. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and Moloney murine leukemia virus enzymes prefer to cleave the Rna strand one nucleotide away from the RNA-DNA junction. 2. Rna 5′-end directed cleavage 13-19 nucleotides from the Rna end. 3. Dna 3′-end directed cleavage 15-20 nucleotides away from the primer terminus.
