Active recombinant reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with an amino-terminal extension containing a hexa-histidine sequence has been prepared in milligram quantities in a pure heterodimeric (p66/p51) form by coordinated applications of immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) and HIV-1 protease treatment. The precursor protein, isolated from extracts of recombinant Escherichia coli by IMAC in a predominantly unprocessed form (p66), migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels as a 66-kDa band with minor heterogeneity at lower relative molecular mass. Incubation of this protein with recombinant HIV-1 protease produced a stable heterodimeric RT that was purified in a single step by IMAC. The purified protein retained both RT and RNase H activity, and kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) were measured with both RNA-dependent DNA polymerization and RNase H activity assays. Carboxyl-terminal sequencing of purified heterodimeric RT indicated that one subunit is intact p66, whereas the other, p51, is a truncated form of p66 that terminates at residue Phe440. Analysis of the HIV-1 protease digest revealed two cleavage sites, at Tyr483-Leu484 and Tyr532-Leu533, in addition to the site at Phe440-Tyr441 that is cleaved to produce p51.
