Abstract: The size distribution of products generated by
G190E RT-associated RNase H digestion of RNA from [35S]poly(rA).poly(dT) was markedly distinct from that of the
G190A RT and was consistent with the observed reduction in
RT-associated RNase H activity of the
G190E RT.
Abstract: We report here that the
G190E mutation in recombinant heterodimeric HIV-1
RT, compared to the wild-type
RT (G190) or a
G190A control mutant, results in a 40% and 80% reduction in the
polymerase and RNase H specific enzymatic activities, respectively.
