From the Departments of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA synthesis
is accompanied by degradation of genomic RNA by the RNase H of reverse
transcriptase (RT). Two different modes of RNase H activity appear
necessary for complete RNA removal. In one, occurring during minus
strand synthesis, positioning of the RNase H is determined by binding of the polymerase active site to the DNA 3

-end. In the other, used for
removal of remaining RNA fragments, positioning of RT for RNase
H-directed cleavage is determined by the RNA 5
-ends. We attempted to
identify RT amino acids responsible for these modes of positioning.
Twelve RT mutants, each with one alanine replacement in residues 224 to
235, known as the primer grip region, were examined for catalytic
abilities. Six of the examined primer grip mutants, although distant
from the RNase H active site were altered in their ability to cleave
RNA. The mutants P226A, F227A, G231A, Y232A, E233A, and H235A failed to
perform RNA 5
-end-directed RNase H cleavage in heparin-challenged
reactions. The last four mutants also lacked DNA synthesis and DNA
3
-end-directed RNase H cleavage activities in challenged reactions.
Since mutants P226A and F227A carried out these latter reactions
normally, these two residues specifically influence 5
-RNA-directed
RNase H catalysis.
