Abstract excerpt
Two activities of retroviral integrase, 3' processing and DNA strand transfer, are required to integrate viral cDNA into a host cell chromosome. Integrase activity has been analyzed in vitro using purified protein and recombinant DNA substrates that model the U3 and U5 ends of viral cDNA or by using viral preintegration complexes (PICs) that form during virus infection. Numerous studies have investigated changes...
