M-MuLV–RH is a genetically modified reverse transcriptase (revertase) from murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) that is different from wild-type M-MuLV in structure, catalytic features and temperature optimum of activity. The enzyme possesses RNA- and DNA-dependent polymerase activity but lacks RNase H activity. Temperature optimum for M-MuLV-RH activity is 42°C (the enzyme remains active at temperatures up to 50 °C). The enzyme is able to synthesize first strand cDNA up to 9 kb and incorporate modified bases.
