Structural basis of deoxynucleotide addition by HIV-1 RT during reverse transcription.
Nat Commun, 15:10553-10553, 2024

PubMed Abstract: Reverse transcription of the retroviral RNA genome into DNA is an integral step during HIV-1 replication. Despite a wealth of structural information on reverse transcriptase (RT), we lack insight into the intermediate states of DNA synthesis. Using catalytically active substrates, and a blot/diffusion cryo-electron microscopy approach, we capture 11 structures encompassing reactant, intermediate and product states of dATP addition by RT at 2.2 to 3.0 Å resolution. In the reactant state, dATP binding to RT-template/primer involves a single Mg (site B) inducing formation of a negatively charged pocket where a second floating Mg can bind (site A). During the intermediate state, the α-phosphate oxygen from a previously unobserved dATP conformer aligns with site A Mg and the primer 3'-OH for nucleophilic attack. The product state, comprises two substrate conformations including an incorporated dAMP with the pyrophosphate leaving group coordinated by metal B and stabilized through H-bonds. Moreover, K220 mutants significantly impact the rate of dNTP incorporation by RT and HIV-1 replication capacity. This work sheds light into the dynamic components of a reaction that is central to HIV-1 replication.
