Roles of Adeno-Associated Virus Rep Protein and Human Chromosome 19 in Site-Specific Recombination
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) is the only known eucaryotic virus capable of targeted integration in human cells. AAV integrates preferentially into human chromosome (ch) 19q13.3qter. The nonstructural proteins of AAV-2, Rep78 and Rep68, are essential for targeted integration. Rep78 and Rep68 are multifunctional proteins with diverse biochemical activities, including site-specific binding to AAV and ch-19...
