3'-DNA-RNA-5' JUNCTION FORMED DURING INITIATION OF MINUS-STRAND SYNTHESIS OF HIV REPLICATION
Overview
During initiation of minus-strand synthesis by HIV-1 reverse, transcriptase, a 3'-DNA-RNA-5' junction is formed involving the 3'-end of, tRNAlys,3. The HIV-RT-associated RNase H cleaves the RNA template strand, specifically, opposite the newly synthesized DNA strand. We have, determined the crystal structure at 1.9 A resolution of an eight-base pair, hybrid duplex representing the junction to identify global or local, structural perturbations which may be recognized by HIV-RT RNase H. The, junction octamer is in a global A-type conformation throughout. A base, pair step with distinct stacking geometry and variable backbone, conformation is located next to the main endonucleolytic cleavage site., This base pair step may serve as a recognition site for HIV-RT RNase H.
