Switching to second-line antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings: comparison of programmes with and without viral load monitoring. [PDF]
In high-income countries, viral load is routinely measured to detect failure of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and guide switching to second-line ART. Viral load monitoring is not generally available in resource-limited settings. We examined switching from

Mechanisms of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) regulation: clinical impacts in cancer
BackgroundLimitless self-renewal is one of the hallmarks of cancer and is attained by telomere maintenance, essentially through telomerase (hTERT) activation.

Endogenous Reverse Transcriptase Inhibition Attenuates TLR5-Mediated Inflammation
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genomic sequences that encompass roughly 50% of the human genome. Class 1 TEs, or “retrotransposons,” mobilize through the production of an RNA intermediate that is then reverse transcribed to form complementary DNA

Antiretroviral treatment can affect the release of NO and EDCF, but EDH in rat arteries [PDF]
This journal suppl. entitled: EDHF 2012 - 10th Anniversary MeetingDespite improving clinical outcomes, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is an independent potential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

Architecture of an HIV-1 reverse transcriptase initiation complex
Reverse transcription of the HIV-1 RNA genome into double-stranded DNA is a central step in viral infection1 and a common target of antiretroviral drugs2.

CDK1 dependent phosphorylation of hTERT contributes to cancer progression
Regulated telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) activity is common in human tumors. Here, the authors show that hTERT is phosphorylated by CDK1 and that this event is necessary for hTERT-mediated RNA dependent RNA polymerase activity but not for ...

Kinetic analysis of reverse transcriptase activity of bacterial family A DNA polymerases. [PDF]
Some bacterial thermostable, wild-type or genetically engineered family A DNA polymerases have reverse transcriptase activity. However, difference in reverse transcriptase activities of family A DNA polymerases and retroviral reverse transcriptases (RTs)

Inhibition of reverse transcriptases by seminalplasmin [PDF]
Seminalplasmin, an antibacterial protein present in bovine seminal plasma, is shown to be a potent inhibitor of reverse transcriptases (RNA-dependent DNA nucleotidyltransferases). Seminalplasmin inhibits RNA-directed, hybrid-directed, and DNA-directed DNA-polymerizing activities of purified reverse transcriptase from avian myeloblastosis virus and from
