Abstract excerpt
Barrier to autointegration factor (BAF) is an essential conserved double-stranded DNA-binding protein in metazoans. BAF binds directly to LEM domain nuclear proteins (e.g. LAP2, Emerin, and MAN1), lamin A, homeodomain transcription factors, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1-encoded proteins. BAF influences higher order chromatin structure and is required to assemble nuclei. BAF also facilitates retroviral...
