From the Retrovirus minus strand strong stop transfer
(minus strand transfer) requires reverse transcriptase-associated RNase
H, R sequence homology, and viral nucleocapsid protein. The minus
strand transfer mechanism in human immunodeficiency virus-1 was
examined in vitro with purified protein and substrates.
Blocking donor RNA 5'-end cleavage inhibited transfers when template
homology was 19 nucleotides (nt) or less. Cleavage of the donor 5'-end occurred prior to formation of transfer products. This suggests that
when template homology is short, transfer occurs through a primer
terminus switch-initiated mechanism, which requires cleavage of the
donor 5' terminus. On templates with 26-nt and longer homology, transfer occurred before cleavage of the donor 5' terminus. Transfer was unaffected when donor 5'-end cleavages were blocked but was reduced
when internal cleavages within the donor were restricted. Based on the
overall data, we conclude that in human immunodeficiency virus-1, which
contains a 97-nt R sequence, minus strand transfer occurs through an
acceptor invasion-initiated mechanism. Transfer is initiated at
internal regions of the homologous R sequence without requiring
cleavage at the donor 5'-end. The acceptor invades at gaps created by
reverse transcriptase-RNase H in the donor-cDNA hybrid. The
fragmented donor is eventually strand-displaced by the acceptor,
completing the transfer.
