Abstract excerpt
Integrase (IN) is a key component of the preintegration nucleoprotein complex (PIC), which transports the retroviral genome from the cytoplasm to the nucleus of newly infected cells. Retroviral IN proteins have intrinsic karyophilic properties, which for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are currently attributed to regions that display sequence homology to previously characterized nuclear localization...
