Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 integrase (IN) mediates integration of viral cDNA into the host cell genome, an essential step in the retroviral life cycle. The human lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF/p75) is a co-factor of HIV-1 IN that plays a crucial role in viral integration. Because of its crucial role in early steps of HIV replication, the IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction represents an attractive target for anti-HIV drug...
