additional information RNase H acts at or about 14 to 18 nucleotides from the 5' end of the template, the cleavage site for the RNase H is therefore held at around this distance behind the DNA polymerase activity. For the intact protein, the RNase H and reverse transcriptase activities may work in a coupled or coordinate manner. More than 80% of the residual 5' oligonucleotides remain base paired to the RNA-directed DNA product. Under certain conditions, these short RNAs can act as efficient primers for an associated DNA-directed DNA synthesis in the reverse direction Human immunodeficiency virus 1 ?
