Point mutations in conserved amino acid residues within the C-terminal domain of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase specifically repress RNase H function
Two single site substitutions (E 478 → Q and H 539 → F) were introduced into the C-terminal RNase H domain of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. These mutant proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by Ni 2+-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography. Both enzymes are clearly defective...

Summary: | Two single site substitutions (E
478 → Q and H
539 → F) were introduced into the C-terminal RNase H domain of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. These mutant proteins were expressed in
Escherichia coli and purified by Ni
2+-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography. Both enzymes are clearly defective in RNase H function, but exhibit wild type reverse transcriptase activity. |
