Primary Identifier | IPR041373 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | RT_RNaseH |
description | DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNase H) activities allow reverse transcriptases to convert the single-stranded retroviral RNA genome into double-stranded DNA, which is integrated into the host chromosome during infection []. This domain can also be found in animal retrotransposon-like proteins [].This entry represents an RNase H-like domain found in a group of reverse transcriptases, including those transcribed as part of an enzymatic polyprotein. |
