Integrase Mutants Defective for Interaction with LEDGF/p75 Are Impairedin Chromosome Tethering and HIV-1Replication
27 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
The insertion of a DNA copy of its RNA genome into a chromosome of the host cell is mediated by the viral integrase with the help of mostly uncharacterized cellular cofactors. We have recently described that the transcriptional co-activator LEDGF/p75 strongly interacts with HIV-1 integrase. Here we show that interaction of HIV-1 integrase with LEDGF/p75 is important for viral replication. Using multiple...
