additional information | construction of a modell substrate for M1 RNA from Escherichia coli. wild-type and mutant enzymes cleave the HIV RNA sequence in the tat region. The variant, containing combined mutations at nucleotide 83 and 340 of RNase P catalytic RNA, cleaves the tat RNA sequence in vitro about 20 times more efficiently than the wild-type ribozyme | Escherichia coli | ? | - |

physiological function | the mutant enzyme variant is more effective in HIV RNA sequence cleavage and reducing HIV-1 p24 expression and intracellular viral RNA level in cells than the wild-type ribozyme. A reduction of about 90% in viral RNA level and a reduction of 150fold in viral growth are observed in human H9 cells that express the mutant, while a reduction of less than 10% is observed in H9 cells that either do not express the ribozyme or produce a catalytically inactive ribozyme mutant | Escherichia coli |
