Abstract excerpt
Retroviral integrase specifically trims (or processes) the ends of retroviral DNA, then inserts (or joins) these ends into cellular DNA nonspecifically. We previously showed that Rous sarcoma virus integrase with a serine-to-aspartate substitution at amino acid 124 was markedly improved for processing but dramatically impaired for joining, making it the first mutant to separate the activities of integrase in this...
