Substrate inhibition was observed with the heterodimeric (p66/p51) and the homodimeric (p66/p66, p51/p51) forms of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, EC 2.7.7.49). An apparent Ki value of 195 +/- 37 microM was determined for dTTP using the bacterial cloned and expressed heterodimer. Similar values were obtained with the homodimeric and the virus-encoded enzymes. When poly-(rC).p(dG)10 was used as template-primer, dGTP exhibited substrate inhibition with an apparent Ki value of 189 +/- 32 microM. Substrate inhibition was not observed with dTTP when DNA.DNA template-primers were used. Hill coefficients for substrate binding determined in the presence of saturating concentrations of template-primer were equal to 1.0, suggesting that substrate inhibition of the heterodimer is not the result of an allosteric mechanism involving the p51 subunit. Furthermore, UV crosslinking experiments with [gamma-32P]dTTP showed crosslinking only to the p66 subunit. Substrate inhibition was not as pronounced with other retroviral reverse transcriptases as it was with human immunodeficiency type 1 reverse transcriptase.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
