Coupled Integration of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 cDNA Ends by Purified Integrase In Vitro: Stimulation by the Viral Nucleocapsid Protein
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Integration of retroviral cDNA involves coupled joining of the two ends of the viral genome at precisely spaced positions in the host cell DNA. Correct coupled joining is essential for viral replication, as shown, for example, by the finding that viral mutants defective in coupled joining are defective in integration and replication. To date, reactions with purified human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)...
