Identification of Amino Acids in HIV-1 and Avian Sarcoma Virus Integrase Subsites Required for Specific Recognition of the Long Terminal Repeat Ends
19 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
A tetramer model for HIV-1 integrase (IN) with DNA representing 20 bp of the U3 and U5 long terminal repeats (LTR) termini was assembled using structural and biochemical data and molecular dynamics simulations. It predicted amino acid residues on the enzyme surface that can interact with the LTR termini. A separate structural alignment of HIV-1, simian sarcoma virus (SIV), and avian sarcoma virus (ASV) INs...
