Abstract excerpt
Lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 is a cellular cofactor for HIV-1 DNA integration. It is well established that the simultaneous binding of LEDGF/p75 to chromatin and to HIV-1 integrase is required for its cofactor activity. However, the exact molecular mechanism of LEDGF/p75 in HIV-1 integration is not yet completely understood. Our hypothesis is that evolutionarily conserved regions in LEDGF/p75...
