  2. Retrovirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrovirus

    A retrovirus is a type of virus that inserts a DNA copy of its RNA genome into the DNA of a host cell that it invades, thus changing the genome of that cell. [2] After invading a host cell's cytoplasm, the virus uses its own reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome, the reverse of the usual pattern, thus retro (backward).

  3. Reverse transcriptase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_transcriptase

    A reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme used to convert RNA genome to DNA, a process termed reverse transcription.Reverse transcriptases are used by viruses such as HIV, COVID-19, and hepatitis B to replicate their genomes, by retrotransposon mobile genetic elements to proliferate within the host genome, and by eukaryotic cells to extend the telomeres at the ends of their linear chromosomes.

    HIV is a retrovirus, which means it can integrate its genetic material into your cells’ DNA. ... blocked nucleoside reverse transcriptase, an enzyme HIV uses to replicate. A few similar ...

  6. Endogenous retrovirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogenous_retrovirus

    Rarely, retroviral integration may occur in a germline cell that goes on to develop into a viable organism. This organism will carry the inserted retroviral genome as an integral part of its own genome—an "endogenous" retrovirus (ERV) that may be inherited by its offspring as a novel allele. Many ERVs have persisted in the genome of their ...

  7. Integrase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrase

    Retroviral integrase (IN) is an enzyme produced by a retrovirus (such as HIV) that integrates (forms covalent links between) its genetic information into that of the host cell it infects. [1] Retroviral INs are not to be confused with phage integrases ( recombinases ) used in biotechnology , such as λ phage integrase, as discussed in site ...

  8. Retrotransposon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrotransposon

    Env genes are found in LTR retrotransposon types Ty1-copia (Pseudoviridae), Ty3-gypsy (Metaviridae) and BEL/Pao. [9] [8] They encode glycoproteins on the retrovirus envelope needed for entry into the host cell. Retroviruses can move between cells whereas LTR retrotransposons can only move themselves into the genome of the same cell. [10]

  9. HIV-1 protease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV-1_protease

    HIV-1 protease or PR is a retroviral aspartyl protease (retropepsin), an enzyme involved with peptide bond hydrolysis in retroviruses, that is essential for the life-cycle of HIV, the retrovirus that causes AIDS.
