reduced dNTP binding affinity, mutant loses the interaction with the 3'-OH of the incoming dTTP, mutant enzyme binds to AZTTP 12 times more tightly than to dTTP
Q151N
-
mutant is catalytically active only at high dNTP concentrations because of its reduced dNTP binding affinity. The modified HIV-1 vector harboring the Q151N mutant reverse transcriptase preferentially transduces tumor cells containing higher cellular dNTP concentrations than primary cells (e.g. human lung fibroblasts and human keratinocytes). The wild type HIV-1 vector transduces both human lung fibroblasts and tumor cells. The Q151N vector fails to transduce human lung fibroblasts and keratinocytes but efficiently transduces tumor cells. Pretreatment of human lung fibroblasts with deoxynucleosides, which increase cellular dNTP pools, enables the mutant vector to transduce human lung fibroblasts, suggesting that the transduction failure of the RT mutant vector to primary cells is because of inefficient reverse transcription in low cellular dNTP environments

multi-drug resistant (MR) HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT), subcloned from a patient derived subtype CRF02 AG, harboring 45 amino acid exchanges, amongst them four thymidine analog mutations (TAMs) relevant for high-level AZT (azidothymidine) resistance by AZTMP excision (M41L, D67N, T215Y, K219E) as well as four substitutions of the AZTTP discrimination pathway (A62V, V75I, F116Y and Q151M). In addition, K65R, known to antagonize AZTMP excision in HIV-1 subtype B is present. Analyses with subtype B reverse transcriptase indicates that K65R and the TAM T215F/Y are not compatible in the absence of the Q151M complex and are rarely found if Q151M or Q151M and at least two additional mutations of the complex are present. A strong functional antagonism of K65R and T215F/Y in the presence of two or more additional TAMs may exist. Subtype AGMR reverse transcriptase which harbors K65R, T215F and three additional TAMs concomitantly is still functional as a polymerase and RNase H. Moreover, in the presence of the Q151M complex K65R does not lead to AZT sensitivity. In the MR-RT, AZT resistance appears to be retained via the discrimination pathway. Only if both codons 65 and 151 of the discrimination pathway are restored to the WT residues (i.e. K65, M151), excision can occur, indicating that both exchanges are essential to prevent excision

introduction of N- and C-terminal deletions into simian foamy virus proteaase-reverse transcriptase. Both, the RNase H domain and the connection subdomain contribute substantially to polymerase integrity and stability as well as to polymerase activity and substrate binding. The 42 amino acids long region C-terminal of the protease domain is important for polymerase stability and activity. Protease activation via binding of PR-RT to viral RNA requires the presence of the full length virus proteaase-reverse transcriptase including the RNase H domain. Deletions either at the C- or N-terminus of protease-reverse transcriptase disturb the structural integrity of the proteins. Isolated reverse transcriptase domains RT(107-454) and PR-RT(1-454) exhibit very little polymerization and extension activity

directed polymerase-evolution experiment yields variants endowed with RNA-dependent DNA polymerization. To further estimate the fidelity during reverse transcription, the variants A608T/E520G/W827R, M747K/E742K, and M761T/D547G/I584V are used to copy a part of messenger RNA(mRNA) into complementary DNA (cDNA) prior to subcloning for sequencing of reverse transcription products. The sequences showsd that selected variants can polymerize more than 300 nucleotides and are not limited to the addition of single nucleotides at the 3 end of DNA primers. The substitution rates per base for RNA-dependent DNA polymerization of the most active variants, A608T/E520G/W827R and M747K/E742K are similar or lower than that of avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase, which is used as a standard. The most abundant variant and M761T/D547G/I584V has a fidelity which is about 10-times higher than that of avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase

chimeric DNA polymerase, termed CS5 pol, constructed from T. Z05 pol and Tma pol and containing the 5'-3' nuclease domain from Thermussp. Z05 DNA polymerase (residues 1-291) and the 3'-5' exonuclease and polymerase domains from Thermotoga maritima DNA polymerase (residues 292-893). This chimera retains thermostable DNA polymerase activity, as well as proofreading activity. Using the CS5 chimera, a series of mutant proteins is constructed in which the amino acid side chains are mutated to modulate the 3'-5' exonuclease activity. A thermoactive and thermostable enzyme with reverse transcriptase and 3'-5'?exonuclease activity is described
