Key determinants of target DNA recognition by retroviral intasomes
29 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Retroviral integration favors weakly conserved palindrome sequences at the sites of viral DNA joining and generates a short (4-6 bp) duplication of host DNA flanking the provirus. We previously determined two key parameters that underlie the target DNA preference for prototype foamy virus (PFV) and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integration: flexible pyrimidine (Y)/purine (R) dinucleotide...
