A contribution of the 51-kDa subunit of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 reverse transcriptase to activities of the parental heterodimer (p66/p51) was assessed in "selectively deleted" heterodimers whose p51 component contained C-terminal truncations of 13, 19, or 25 residues. Analyses included (i) efficiency of reconstitution into heterodimer, (ii) retention of polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNase H) function, and (iii) interaction with the HIV replication primer, tRNA(Lys,3). Our data suggest that these features of heterodimer reverse transcriptase can be modulated by the extent of the C-terminal p51 deletion. Severely impaired tRNA binding in a selectively deleted heterodimer whose 51-kDa subunit lacks 13 residues, despite retention of enzymatic functions, strengthens arguments for p51 involvement in tRNA binding.
