The HIV-1 Integrase Monomer Induces a Specific Interaction with LTR DNA for Concerted Integration
12 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
The assembly mechanism for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) synaptic complex (SC) capable of concerted integration is unknown. Molecular and structural studies have established that the HIV SC and prototype foamy virus (PFV) intasome contain a tetramer of integrase (IN) that catalyzes concerted integration. HIV IN purified in the presence of 1 mM EDTA and 10 mM MgSO(4) was predominately a monomer. IN...
