SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF NCP7 FROM HIV-1

Source organism: HIV-1 M:B_HXB2R
Biochemical function: zinc ion binding
Biological process: not assigned
Cellular component: not assigned

EC 3.4.23.16: HIV-1 retropepsin

Reaction catalysed:
Specific for a P1 residue that is hydrophobic, and P1' variable, but often Pro.
Alternative Name(s):
  • Gag protease
  • HIV aspartyl protease
  • HIV proteinase
  • HIV-1 protease
  • HIV-2 protease
  • Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease
  • Retroproteinase

EC 3.1.26.13: Retroviral ribonuclease H

Reaction catalysed:
Endohydrolysis of RNA in RNA/DNA hybrids. Three different cleavage modes: 1. sequence-specific internal cleavage of RNA. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and Moloney murine leukemia virus enzymes prefer to cleave the RNA strand one nucleotide away from the RNA-DNA junction. 2. RNA 5'-end directed cleavage 13-19 nucleotides from the RNA end. 3. DNA 3'-end directed cleavage 15-20 nucleotides away from the primer terminus.
Systematic name:
-
Alternative Name(s):
  • HIV RNase H
  • RT/RNase H
  • Retroviral reverse transcriptase RNaseH

EC 3.1.13.2: Exoribonuclease H

3'-end directed exonucleolytic cleavage of viral RNA-DNA hybrid
Systematic name:
-
