The Role of Conserved Residues in the DEDDh Motif: the Proton-Transfer Mechanism of HIV-1 RNase H [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
RNase H is a prototypical example for two-metal-ion catalysis in enzymes. An RNase H activity cleaving the ribonucleic acid (RNA) backbone of a DNA/RNA hybrid is present not only in important drug targets, such as the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, but ...

Acetylation regulates the oligomerization state and activity of RNase J, the Helicobacter pylori major ribonuclease

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
In the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, post-transcriptional regulation relies strongly on the activity of the essential ribonuclease RNase J. Here, we elucidated the crystal and cryo-EM structures of RNase J and determined that it assembles into ...

The catalytic mechanism, metal dependence, substrate specificity, and biodiversity of ribonuclease H

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Ribonucleoside monophosphates are inevitably misincorporated into the DNA genome inside cells, and they need to be excised to avoid chromosome instability.

2-(Arylamino)-6-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic Acid Derivatives: New HIV-1 RT Dual Inhibitors Active on Viral Replication

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
The persistence of the AIDS epidemic, and the life-long treatment required, indicate the constant need of novel HIV-1 inhibitors. In this scenario the HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT)-associated ribonuclease H (RNase H) function is a promising drug ...

HIV-1 RT-Associated RNase H review

open access: yesArchives of Pharmaceutical Sciences Ain Shams University, 2018
HIV-RT is an essential enzyme for HIV replication it comprises two associated functions: RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RDDP & DDDP) and ribonuclease H (RNase H).

Membrane recognition and dynamics of the RNA Degradosome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
RNase E, which is the central component of the multienzyme RNA degradosome, serves as a scaffold for interaction with other enzymes involved in mRNA degradation including the DEAD-box RNA helicase RhlB.

Evolution of ribonuclease H genes in prokaryotes to avoid inheritance of redundant genes

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
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.

Redesignation of the RNase D activity associated with retroviral reverse transcriptase as RNase H [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1994
In the presence of Mn2+, reverse transcriptase of both human immunodeficiency virus and murine leukemia virus hydrolyzes duplex RNA. However, designating this novel activity RNase D conflicts with Escherichia coli RNase D, which participates in tRNA processing.

Ribonuclease H/DNA Polymerase HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Dual Inhibitor: Mechanistic Studies on the Allosteric Mode of Action of Isatin-Based Compound RMNC6. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNase H) activities of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are needed for the replication of the viral genome and are validated drug targets.

Polypurine Tract Formation by Ty1 RNase H [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
To better understand the mechanism by which Ty1 RNase H creates the polypurine tract (PPT) primer, we have demonstrated the polymerase-dependent hydrolytic activity of Ty1 reverse transcriptase (RT) during minus-strand synthesis. Using RNase H and polymerase mutants of the recombinant Ty1 RT protein, we show that the two domains of Ty1 RT can act ...
