Interaction between Reverse Transcriptase and Integrase Is Required for Reverse Transcription during HIV-1 Replication
24 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication requires reverse transcription of its RNA genome into a double-stranded cDNA copy, which is then integrated into the host cell chromosome. The essential steps of reverse transcription and integration are catalyzed by the viral enzymes reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN), respectively. In vitro, HIV-1 RT can bind with IN, and the...
