Telithromycin. Fresh From The Pipeline, Aarti Raja, J. Lebbos, P. Kirtpatrick

Aarti Raja

In April 2004, telithromycin (Ketek; Aventis), the first of a new class of antibacterial drugs derived from macrolides, was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of several respiratory-tract infections. After a delay in its approval owing to a need to address potential safety issues, is it likely to now attain the blockbuster status that had originally been widely predicted?

Interaction Of Hiv Reverse Transcriptase With Structures Mimicking Recombination Intermediates, Aarti Raja, J. Jeffrey, J. J. Destefano May 2016

Interaction Of Hiv Reverse Transcriptase With Structures Mimicking Recombination Intermediates, Aarti Raja, J. Jeffrey, J. J. Destefano

Aarti Raja

Interactions between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) and structures mimicking intermediates proposed to occur during recombination (strand transfer) were investigated. One mechanism proposed for strand transfer is strand exchange in which a homologous RNA (acceptor) "invades" a donor RNA.DNA duplex (replication intermediate) on which DNA synthesis is occurring. The acceptor displaces the donor of the duplex and binds to the DNA. During exchange a transient trimeric structure forms. A model structure was designed with a replication intermediate to which an acceptor RNA was bound. The acceptor was bound to the 5'-end of the DNA over a 54-base region, …


In Vitro Strand Transfer From Broken Rnas Results In Mismatch But Not Frameshift Mutations, Jeffrey J. Destefano, Aarti Raja, Jason V. Christofaro May 2016

In Vitro Strand Transfer From Broken Rnas Results In Mismatch But Not Frameshift Mutations, Jeffrey J. Destefano, Aarti Raja, Jason V. Christofaro

Aarti Raja

An in vitro system to compare the fidelity of strand transfers from truncated vs full-length RNAs was constructed. A donor RNA, on which reverse transcriptase (RT)-directed DNA synthesis was initiated, shared homology with an acceptor RNA, to which DNAs initiated on the donor could transfer. All RNAs were derived from the N-terminal portion of the alpha-lac gene. On full-length donors, transfers occurred when DNAs migrated to the acceptor prior to being completed on the donor. On donors that were truncated, most transfers occurred after DNAs reached the end of the donor. Transfer products were amplified by PCR and used to …
