Many bacterial expression systems have been developed to study the reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). This enzyme exists in the virions as a heterodimer of a 66 kDa (p66) subunit and a 51 kDa (p51)

RNA editing is found in various transcripts from land plant chloroplasts. In tobacco chloroplasts, C-to-U conversion occurs at 36 specific sites including two sites identified in this work. Our RNA editing assay system using chloroplast extracts facilitated biochemical analyses of

Determination of the three-dimensional structure of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) has indicated a totally different folding for the 51-kDa subunit (p51) than for the 66-kDa subunit (p66). The polymerase catalytic site is located on the

Recently, tetrahydroimidazo-[4,5,1-jk][1,4]-benzodiazepin-2(1H)-one and -thione (TIBO) and 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine (HEPT) compounds have been shown to be potent, selective, and specific inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in vitro. They interact with the reverse transcriptase of HIV-1 in a way
Trp-229 is part of the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-binding pocket of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT), and is also part of the "primer grip" of HIV-1 RT. Using site-directed mutagenesis, seven RT mutants were constructed bearing the
