DNA Physical Properties and Nucleosome Positions Are Major Determinants of HIV-1 Integrase Selectivity
15 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Retroviral integrases (INs) catalyse the integration of the reverse transcribed viral DNA into the host cell genome. This process is selective, and chromatin has been proposed to be a major factor regulating this step in the viral life cycle. However, the precise underlying mechanisms are still under investigation. We have developed a new in vitro integration assay using physiologically-relevant, reconstituted...
