Abstract excerpt
Asp(443) and Glu(478) are essential active site residues in the RNase H domain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT). We have investigated the effects of substituting Asn for Asp(443) or Gln for Glu(478) on the fidelity of DNA-dependent DNA synthesis of phylogenetically diverse HIV-1 RTs. In M13mp2 lacZα-based forward mutation assays, HIV-1 group M (BH10) and group O RTs...
