Nuclease mechanism of the avian retrovirus pp32 endonuclease.
In vivo, the inferred circular retrovirus DNA precursor to the provirus contains two long terminal repeats (LTRs) in tandem. We studied the site-specific nicking of supercoiled DNA that contains tandem copies of avian retrovirus LTR DNA in vitro by using purified avian myeloblastosis virus pp32 endonuclease, Mg2+, and viral DNA substrates containing different LTR circle junction sequences. The results confirmed our previous observation that the pp32 protein generates two nicks, one in either viral DNA strand, each 2 nucleotides from the circle junction site. The specificity of nicking by pp32 was unchanged over an eight-fold range of protein concentration and with different avian retrovirus LTR circle junction substrates. These data are consistent with models which propose a role for the endonuclease in removal of two nucleotides from the LTR termini on integration of viral DNA in vivo.
