正链 DNA 合成
中文名称
通路描述
在负链 DNA 合成过程中,病毒 RNA 中的两个特定多聚嘌呤序列(PPT 序列),即位于 pol 基因(中央或 cPPT)内以及位于 U3 序列之前(3' PPT),被保留并作为引物,启动正链合成。至少有两个离散步骤的 DNA 复制、PPT RNA 的去除以及启动负链合成的 tRNA 引物的移除,以及链转移,导致合成与 HIV 基因组 RNA 全长相对应的线性双链 DNA,两端具有长末端重复序列(LTR)。DNA 合成和 RNA 降解均由 HIV-1 逆转录酶(RT)异二聚体的特定区域催化。在正链合成期间,Preston 等人观察到在细胞游离系统和培养中的感染病毒中均存在低频的正链起始位点(Klarman 等,1997)。
英文描述
Plus-strand DNA synthesis Two specific polypurine tracts (PPT sequences) in the viral RNA, one within the pol gene (central or cPPT) and one immediately preceding the U3 sequence (3' PPT), are spared from degradation during minus strand DNA synthesis and prime plus-strand synthesis. At least two discrete steps of DNA replication, removal of the PPT RNAs and the tRNA primer that initiated minus-strand synthesis, and a strand transfer lead to the synthesis of a linear duplex DNA corresponding to the full length of the HIV genomic RNA with long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences at both ends. Both DNA synthesis and RNA degradation are catalyzed by domains of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) heterodimer. During plus-strand synthesis, Preston and colleagues observed secondary sites of plus-strand initiation at low frequency both in the cell-free system and in cultured virus-infected cells (Klarman et al., 1997).
