Abstract excerpt
Retroviral integration is mediated by viral preintegration complexes (PICs), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) PICs treated with high salt lose their in vitro integration activity. Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) is a host protein that efficiently restores PIC activity, but the mechanism(s) by which BAF participates in HIV-1 integration remains largely unknown. Here we developed a gel shift...
