HumanImmunodeficiency Virus Type 1 DNA Nuclear Import and Integration AreMitosis Independent in CyclingCells
25 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
An essential step in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication is the movement of the viral preintegration complex from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. The pathway(s) and timing for HIV-1 DNA nuclear entry in cycling cells have not been established. Here, we show that if cycling cells are infected before S phase, viral DNA can be integrated prior to passage of the host DNA replication fork through...
