Biochemical and virological analysis of the 18-residue C-terminal tail of HIV-1 integrase
19 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 18 residue tail abutting the SH3 fold that comprises the heart of the C-terminal domain is the only part of HIV-1 integrase yet to be visualized by structural biology. To ascertain the role of the tail region in integrase function and HIV-1 replication, a set of deletion mutants that successively lacked three amino acids was constructed and analyzed in a variety of biochemical and virus infection...
