Abstract excerpt
Retroviral integrase (IN) is the viral enzyme responsible for the integration of viral DNA into host cellular DNA. In vitro, recombinant IN protein is able to catalyze the 3'-processing, strand transfer and disintegration activities. In order to analyze the importance of specific residues of ALSV (Avian leukemia and sarcoma viruses) IN protein, we introduced 31 amino acid substitutions either in residues...
