Evolution of ribonuclease H genes in prokaryotes to avoid inheritance of redundant genes [PDF]
Background A theoretical model of genetic redundancy has proposed that the fates of redundant genes depend on the degree of functional redundancy, and that functionally redundant genes will not be inherited together.

RNase H Polymerase-independent Cleavage Assay for Evaluation of RNase H Activity of Reverse Transcriptase Enzymes [PDF]
The ribonuclease H (RNase H) polymerase-independent cleavage assay allows detection and quantification of RNase H activity of reverse transcriptase (RT) enzymes with a hybrid substrate formed by a fluorescein labeled RNA annealed with Dabcyl DNA (Figure ...

Flavonoids and Acid-Hydrolysis derivatives of Neo-Clerodane diterpenes from Teucrium flavum subsp. glaucum as inhibitors of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase–associated RNase H function [PDF]
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract from Teucrium flavum subsp. glaucum, endowed with inhibitory activity towards the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase–associated RNase H function, led to the isolation of salvigenin (1), cirsimaritin (2)

Targeting HIV-1 RNase H: N’-(2-Hydroxy-benzylidene)-3,4,5-Trihydroxybenzoylhydrazone as Selective Inhibitor Active against NNRTIs-Resistant Variants [PDF]
HIV-1 infection requires life-long treatment and with 2.1 million new infections/year, faces the challenge of an increased rate of transmitted drug-resistant mutations.

RNase H activities counteract a toxic effect of Polymerase η in cells replicating with depleted dNTP pools. [PDF]
RNA:DNA hybrids are transient physiological intermediates that arise during several cellular processes such as DNA replication. In pathological situations, they may stably accumulate and pose a threat to genome integrity.

Identifying and avoiding off-target effects of RNase H-dependent antisense oligonucleotides in mice. [PDF]
Antisense oligonucleotides that are dependent on RNase H for cleavage and subsequent degradation of complementary RNA are being developed as therapeutics. Besides the intended RNA target, such oligonucleotides may also cause degradation of unintended RNA

RNase H sequence preferences influence antisense oligonucleotide efficiency. [PDF]
RNase H cleaves RNA in RNA–DNA duplexes. It is present in all domains of life as well as in multiple viruses and is essential for mammalian development and for human immunodeficiency virus replication.

Analysis and Molecular Determinants of HIV RNase H Cleavage Specificity at the PPT/U3 Junction [PDF]
HIV reverse transcriptases (RTs) convert viral genomic RNA into double-stranded DNA. During reverse transcription, polypurine tracts (PPTs) resilient to RNase H cleavage are used as primers for plus-strand DNA synthesis.
