Involvement of C-terminal structural elements of equine infectious anemia virus reverse transcriptase in DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H activities.

Abstract:

:In order to investigate the modes of DNA synthesis supported by the 66 and 51 kDa subunits of equine infectious anemia virus reverse transcriptase (EIAV RT), recombinant p66 polypeptides containing a modified ribonuclease H (RNase H) domain were purified and evaluated. Defined heteropolymeric template-primer combinations and high-resolution gel electrophoresis provided a qualitative evaluation of DNA polymerase and RNase H activities, while DNase I footprinting revealed features of replication complexes containing the truncated enzymes. Removal of alpha-helix E' and the conserved beta 5'-alphaE' "His-loop" in p66delta20 RT uncouples the RNase H activities, alters affinity for template-primer and dictates how the replicating enzyme responds to secondary structure on both DNA and RNA templates. Despite these alterations, DNase I footprinting shows no major difference in the overall structure of DNA-directed DNA synthesis complexes. In contrast, removing 47 C-terminal residues, which includes alpha-helix D', beta-strand 5' and alpha-Helix E', yields an enzyme with distributive DNA polymerase properties closely resembling the purified p51 subunit.
