Transient and Stable Knockdown of the Integrase Cofactor LEDGF/p75 Reveals Its Role in the Replication Cycle of Human Immunodeficiency Virus
26 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
After identifying the interaction between the transcriptional coactivator lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF/p75) and the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN), we have now investigated the role of LEDGF/p75 during HIV replication. Transient small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of LEDGF/p75 in HeLaP4 cells resulted in a three- to fivefold inhibition of HIV-1 (strain NL4.3)...
