additional information | the isolated RNase H domain of HIV-1 RT (RNHHIV) is inactive, possibly due to the lack of a substrate binding ability, disorder of a loop containing His539, and increased flexibility. To examine whether the activity of RNHHIV is restored by the attachment of TmaHBD or BstNTD to its N-terminus, two chimeric proteins, TmaHBD-RNHHIV and BstNTD-RNHHIV, are constructed and characterized. Both chimeric proteins bind to RNA/DNA hybrid more strongly than RNHHIV and exhibit enzymatic activity in the presence of Mn2+ ions. They do not exhibit activity or exhibited very weak activity in the presence of Mg2+ ions | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 |

additional information | RNase H activity is determined using oligomeric substrates. 5'-Fluorescein-labeled 29 bp RNA/DNA hybrid (R29/D29), 12 bp RNA/RNA duplex (R12/R12), and 12 bp DNA/DNA duplex (D12/D12) are prepared by hybridizing 5'-fluorescein-labeled 29 b RNA (5'-aauagagaaaaagaaaaaagauggcaaag-3'), 12 b RNA (5'-cggagaugacgg-3'), and 12 b DNA (5'-CGGAGAUGACGG-3') with a 1.5 molar equivalent of the complementary DNA | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 | ? | - |

additional information | the isolated RNase H domain of HIV-1 RT (RNHHIV) is inactive, possibly due to the lack of a substrate binding ability, disorder of a loop containing His539, and increased flexibility. The N-terminal substrate binding domain, termed hybrid binding domain (TmaHBD), from Thermotoga maritima RNase H1 and the N-terminal domain (BstNTD) from Bacillus stearothermophilus RNase H2 both function as an RNA/DNA hybrid binding tag, and greatly increase the substrate binding affinity and Mn2+-dependent activity of RNHHIV but do not restore the Mg2+-dependent activity of RNHHIV | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 |
physiological function | ribonuclease H (RNase H) is an enzyme that cleaves RNA strand of RNA/DNA hybrid to produce 5'-phosphate and 3'-hydroxyl termini with a two-metal-ion catalysis mechanism. HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is a heterodimer consisting of a P66 subunit and a P51 subunit. The P66 subunit contains a C-terminal RNase H domain, which exhibits RNase H activity either in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+ ions | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 |
