A reverse transcriptase ribozyme [PDF]
eLife, 2017 A highly evolved RNA polymerase ribozyme was found to also be capable of functioning as a reverse transcriptase, an activity that has never been demonstrated before for RNA. This activity is thought to have been crucial for the transition from RNA to DNA

Telomerase reverse transcriptase and neurodegenerative diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are chronic conditions that result in progressive damage to the nervous system, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease (HD), and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

HTLV-1 reverse transcriptase homology model provides structural basis for sensitivity to existing nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors [PDF]
Virology JournalThe human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infects millions of people globally and is endemic to various resource-limited regions. Infections persist for life and are associated with increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and severe ...

Viral reverse transcriptases [PDF]
Virus Research, 2017 Reverse transcriptases (RTs) play a major role in the replication of Retroviridae, Metaviridae, Pseudoviridae, Hepadnaviridae and Caulimoviridae. RTs are enzymes that are able to synthesize DNA using RNA or DNA as templates (DNA polymerase activity), and degrade RNA when forming RNA/DNA hybrids (ribonuclease H activity).

Telomerase reverse transcriptase promotes angiogenesis in neonatal rats after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Angiogenesis is an endogenous repair mechanism following hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Interestingly, recent studies have shown that angiogenesis can be regulated by telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), a critical component of ...

Retroviral restriction factor APOBEC3G delays the initiation of DNA synthesis by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 It is well established that the cytosine deaminase APOBEC3G can restrict HIV-1 virions in the absence of the virion infectivity factor (Vif) by inducing genome mutagenesis through deamination of cytosine to uracil in single-stranded HIV-1 (-)DNA. However,

Reverse transcriptase inhibition: a way to defeat HIV
HIV & AIDS Review. International Journal of HIV-Related Problems, 2022 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) induces disease in humans that is known as AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). First AIDS cases were registered in 1981, and later, types of HIV infection, such as HIV-1 and HIV-2 were identified.

Cost-effectiveness of the third-agent class in treatment-naive human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients in Portugal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 IntroductionCurrent Portuguese HIV treatment guidelines recommend initiating antiretroviral therapy with a regimen composed of two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors plus one Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (2NRTI+NNRTI) or two ...

The mechano-chemistry of a monomeric reverse transcriptase [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2017 ABSTRACTRetroviral reverse transcriptase catalyses the synthesis of an integration-competent dsDNA molecule, using as a substrate the viral RNA. Using optical tweezers, we follow the Murine Leukemia Virus reverse transcriptase as it performs strand-displacement polymerization on a template under mechanical force.
