Abstract excerpt
There are two retroviral integration loci. One encodes the transacting IN protein, which is cleaved from the carboxyl terminus of the Gag-Pol polyprotein precursor during virus assembly. The second locus is the cis-acting attachment (att) site, comprising the terminal sequences at the U3 and U5 ends of linear viral cDNA. Integrase and att site mutant viruses can be blocked at different steps of the viral...
