The reverse transcriptase of the Tf1 retrotransposon has a specific novel activity for generating the RNA self-primer that is functional in cDNA synthesis.

Abstract:

:The Tf1 retrotransposon of Schizosaccharomyces pombe represents a group of eukaryotic long terminal repeat (LTR) retroelements that, based on their sequences, were predicted to use an RNA self-primer for initiating reverse transcription while synthesizing the negative-sense DNA strand. This feature is substantially different from the one typical to retroviruses and other LTR retrotransposons that all exhibit a tRNA-dependent priming mechanism. Genetic studies have suggested that the self-primer of Tf1 can be generated by a cleavage between the 11th and 12th bases of the Tf1 RNA transcript. The in vitro data presented here show that recombinant Tf1 reverse transcriptase indeed introduces a nick at the end of a duplexed region at the 5' end of Tf1 genomic RNA, substantiating the prediction that this enzyme is responsible for generating this RNA self-primer. The 3' end of the primer, generated in this manner, can then be extended upon the addition of deoxynucleoside triphosphates by the DNA polymerase activity of the same enzyme, synthesizing the negative-sense DNA strand. This functional primer must have been generated by the RNase H activity of Tf1 reverse transcriptase, since a mutant enzyme lacking this activity has lost its ability to generate the self-primer. It was also found here that the reverse transcriptases of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and of murine leukemia virus do not exhibit this specific cleavage activity. In all, it is likely that the observed unique mechanism of self-priming in Tf1 represents an early advantageous form of initiating reverse transcription in LTR retroelements without involving cellular tRNAs.
