Abstract excerpt
The recognition and precise cleavage of the polypurine tract (PPT) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is an essential step in HIV-1 reverse transcription. The accurate cleavage, and the subsequent removal, of the PPT by the RNase H activity of HIV-1 RT defines the left end of the double-stranded viral DNA genome, the substrate for integration into the host genome. Previous analyses have shown that...
