| Abstract | Retroviral reverse transcriptase (RT) is involved in the selection of a specific tRNA primer which initiates proviral DNA minus-strand synthesis. Studies of the interactions between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RT and primer tRNALys3 have shown that the dihydrouridine (diHU), anticodon, and pseudouridine regions of tRNA are highly protected in the RT-tRNA complex. The CCA 3' end of tRNA is also in close contact with the enzyme during the cDNA initiation step. Using synthetic oligoribonucleotides corresponding to the anticodon and diHU regions, we have previously shown a low but significant inhibition of HIV-1 RT activity. We extend this observation and show that primer tRNA-derived oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) carrying a phosphorothioate (PS) modification are strong inhibitors of HIV-1 RT. The affinity of PS-ODNs for the enzyme was monitored by gel mobility shift electrophoresis. Experiments with HIV-1-infected human cells (MT-2 cells) were performed with the latter ODNs. A PS-ODN corresponding to the 3' end of tRNALys3 (acceptor stem [AS]) was able to inhibit HIV-1 replication. No effect of the other modified ODNs was observed in infected cells. The analysis of HIV-1 RNase H activity in a cell-free system strongly suggests that the inhibitory effect of the PS-AS may be mediated via both a sense and an antisense mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
