Structural requirements for enzymatic activities of foamy virus protease-reverse transcriptase.

Abstract excerpt

Reverse transcriptases (RTs) are pivotal in the life cycle of retroviruses and convert the genomic viral RNA into double-stranded DNA. The RT polymerase domain is subdivided into fingers, palm, thumb, and the connection subdomain, which links the polymerase to the C-terminal RNase H domain. In contrast to orthoretroviruses, mature RT of foamy viruses harbors the protease (PR) domain at its N-terminus (PR-RT)....
