Abstract excerpt
Integrase (IN) is the enzyme responsible for the integration of the retroviral genome into the host cell DNA. Herein, three mutants of conserved residues (V79, S85 and I146) of the central core domain (CCD) of an Avian Sarcoma/Leukemia Virus IN were analyzed in vitro. Our data revealed (i) the inability of S85T mutant to form dimers and tetramers in the absence of DNA and (ii) a slightly reduced ability of V79A...
