Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleocapsid protein reduces reverse transcriptase pausing at a secondary structure near the murine leukemia virus polypurine tract
1 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
In an earlier study on minus-strand DNA synthesis catalyzed by murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase, we described a prominent pause site near the polypurine tract (J. Guo, W. Wu, Z. Y. Yuan, K. Post, R. J. Crouch, and J. G . Levin, Biochemistry 34:5018-5029, 1995). We now report that pausing at this site is due to a stem-loop structure in the RNA template, formed by interaction of a number of bases in the...
