RNase H activity of the wild-type HIV-1 RT and its mutant derivatives. The individual enzymes were incubated with 5'-32P-labeled 30-mer RNA annealed with 30-mer complementary DNA strand, at 37°C for 30 sec and 1 min as described in Materials and Methods. The cleavage products were resolved on an 8% denaturing polyacrylamide-urea gel and analyzed on a phosphorImager. Lanes 1 and 2 represent reactions carried out for 30 sec and 1 min, respectively.
