The HIV gene which codes for polymerase enzyme. 2, record 1, English, - pol%20gene
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The pol gene encodes the reverse transcriptase enzyme (p53, p66), which transcribes viral RNA into DNA, a step required before HIV viral proteins and new viruses can be made. Also encoded in the pol gene are a portion of the HIV protease (5’end) and an endonuclease protein (p31). 3, record 1, English, - pol%20gene

Les gènes du V.I.H.-1 comportent les trois gènes structuraux fondamentaux des rétrovirus, présents à la fois dans les cellules infectées et dans les particules virales matures. Le gène gag (ce qui signifie gène de l'antigène de groupe) qui code pour les protéines de nucléotide; le gène pol (pour polymérase) qui détermine la synthèse de l'enzyme caractéristique des rétrovirus, la transcriptase inverse (ou reverse transcriptase); à son extrémité existe un petit gène qui code pour une protéase dont le rôle est de cliver les protéines produites par le gène gag; le gène env (pour enveloppe) qui permet la synthèse des glycoprotéines de l'enveloppe virale. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A8ne%20pol
