	Reverse transcriptase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since HIV uses reverse transcriptase, together with integrase, to infect human DNA with viral DNA, reverse transcriptase inhibitors are used to prevent this.
		Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA.
		Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of Wisconsin, and independently by David Baltimore at about the same time.

		Moreover, by using a modification of the polymerase chain reaction-based reverse transcriptase assay in which activated DNA is added during cDNA synthesis to suppress DNA polymerase-mediated RNA-directed DNA synthesis, we have found that the particle-associated enzyme behaves like a retroviral reverse transcriptase, further supporting the conclusion that retrovirus-like, perhaps HERV-K sequences, encode this enzyme activity.
		Another alternative source for the reverse transcriptase activity in these samples is that it is encoded by a LINE element or other retrotransposon.

		molecule is utilized by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) to prime DNA synthesis from the viral RNA genome.
		The presence of both overlapping and separate p/t and tRNA binding regions on RT was tested by examination of the affinity of a possible RT bisubstrate type inhibitor, containing motifs proposed to be essential for both tRNA and p/t binding.
		Further analyses revealed that the tighter affinity is probably due to a preferred p/t binding mode and not to one expected if separate tRNA and p/t binding regions are accessed simultaneously by the same molecule.

		Constructed and analyzed structural models of reverse transcriptases related to HIV-1 to study the evolution of residues involved in protein stability and folding.
		Phenotype data from the mutant collection were combined with crystallographic data of several HIV-1 reverse transcriptase structures as well as the structure of the evolutionarily related Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase to identify hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions critical for the protein stability of this enzyme.
		Besides providing a better understanding of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in particular, this project demonstrated the utility of saturation mutagenesis to study the function and stability of proteins in general, especially for proteins for which no structural data are available.
