Abstract

This article communicates our study to elucidate the molecular determinants of weak Mg 2+ interaction with the ribonuclease H (RNH) domain of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in solution. As the interaction is weak (a ligand-dissociation constant >1 mM), nonspecific Mg 2+ interaction with the protein or interaction of the protein with other solutes that are present in the buffer solution can confound the observed Mg 2+ -titration data. To investigate these indirect effects, we monitored changes in the chemical shifts of backbone amides of RNH by recording NMR 1 H– 15 N heteronuclear single-quantum coherence spectra upon titration of Mg 2+ into an RNH solution. We performed the titration under three different conditions: (1) in the absence of NaCl, (2) in the presence of 50 mM NaCl, and (3) at a constant 160 mM Cl – concentration. Careful analysis of these three sets of titration data, along with molecular dynamics simulation data of RNH with Na + and Cl – ions, demonstrates two characteristic phenomena distinct from the specific Mg 2+ interaction with the active site: (1) weak interaction of Mg 2+, as a salt, with the substrate-handle region of the protein and (2) overall apparent lower Mg 2+ affinity in the absence of NaCl compared to that in the presence of 50 mM NaCl. A possible explanation may be that the titrated MgCl 2 is consumed as a salt and interacts with RNH in the absence of NaCl. In addition, our data suggest that Na + increases the kinetic rate of the specific Mg 2+ interaction at the active site of RNH. Taken together, our study provides biophysical insight into the mechanism of weak metal interaction on a protein.

  • Crystal structures of reverse transcriptase with N-hydroxy naphthyridinone inhibitors demonstrated direct active-site binding and showed that H539 sterically prevents the inhibitors from flipping to the opposite orientation.

    “Crystal structures of RT with N-hydroxy naphthyridinone inhibitors also experimentally demonstrated direct RNH active-site interaction by the inhibitors and showed that the position of H539 sterically prohibits the naphthyridinones from flipping to an opposite orientation [78] (Figure 5b).”

    From Retroviral RNase H: structure, mechanism, and inhibition (2021) · cites this paper as [78]

    The Introduction and Conclusions discuss Mg²⁺ binding to the HIV-1 RNase H domain, not inhibitor-bound crystal structures. Searches for N-hydroxy naphthyridinones, H539, and inhibitor orientation found no passage addressing the claimed binding or steric restriction; the crystal structures listed in the References do not establish this claim.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
