What would the HIV viral sequence of AUCUU be converted to and by what enzyme?

The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.

What enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?
integrase
What enzyme is referred to as Akt?
Akt is the enzyme which is known as protein kinase B. Its scientific term is thymoma viral proto-oncogene and its particular job is to help promote cellular revival.
How is genetic information copied in a retroviruses?
When a retrovirus invades a host cell, it uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase (also called retrotranscriptase) to synthesize a sequence of DNA that is complementary to its RNA, in a process called reverse transcription. This DNA will then be inserted into the host cell's genome, and will be replicated just like the rest of the cell's DNA. The viral DNA will be transcribed into RNA, which will then be translated into viral parts, which will ultimately be assembled into new viruses.
Function of restriction enzymes?
They cut strands of DNA at specific sites.
Is crabs bacterial or viral?
it is viral
What animal's cells has integrase?
None. It's a viral enzyme.
What enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?
integrase
The function of cdna?
hi In vitro we must converted the RNA to cDNA to diagnosis viral RNA in PCR. In vivo RNa viral infected the cell RNA converted to cDNA IN SIDE THE CELL BY REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE therfore cDNA insertion in the DNA of cell infected thank you hi In vitro we must converted the RNA to cDNA to diagnosis viral RNA in PCR.

What is the role of restriction endonucleases for the bacteria?
It the usefulness of enzyme for which it is named after. As the enzyme restriction endonuclease restrict the entry of foreign DNA in the bacteria. So it can be called a protective mechanism of bacteria and it is believed to be evolved by bacteria to resist viral attack.
How does an RNA virus get a viral DNA into a host cells genome?
RNA viruses generally have very high mutation rates as they lack DNA polymerases which can find and fix mistakes, and are therefore unable to conduct DNA repair of damaged genetic material. Retroviruses integrate a DNA intermediate of their RNA genome into the host genome, and therefore have a higher chance of correcting any mistakes in their genome thanks to the action of proof-reading DNA polymerases belonging to the host cell. Also, retroviruses, unlike other single-stranded RNA viruses they use DNA intermediates to replicate. Reverse transcriptase, a viral enzyme that comes from the virus itself after it is uncoated, converts the viral RNA into a complementary strand of DNA, which is copied to produce a double stranded molecule of viral DNA. This DNA goes on to direct the formation of new virions.
Are nucleoside analogs that inhibit DNA synthesis effective against viral diseases?
yes, nucleoside analogues are artificial nucleosides. The block the completion of new viral DNA chains, therefore, preventing the production of new viral bodies. This way the viral enzyme, reverse transcriptase is more likely to incorporate the nucleoside analogue into the DNA than the host's DNA polymerase.
What viral rna uses the normal processes of a cell to manufacture?
That's what retroviruses do. They use the host cell's reverse transcriptase enzyme to manufacture DNA from the virus' RNA
How does a retrovirus differ from other viruses?
A retrovirus transcribes RNA into DNA, whereas a regular virus transcribes DNA into RNA. (:
Retroviruses such as HIV contains what enzyme that enables DNA to be synthesized from rna?
by using reverse transcriptase to help produce double stranded DNA from viral RNA
What is a reterovirus?
A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is replicated in a host cell via the enzyme reverse transcriptase to produce DNA from its RNA genome. The DNA is then incorporated into the host's genome by an integrase enzyme. The virus thereafter replicates as part of the host cell's DNA. Retroviruses are enveloped viruses that belong to the viral family Retrovirida.
