The putative U94 integrase is dispensable for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) chromosomal integration
11 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) can integrate its genome into the telomeres of host chromosomes and is present in the germline of about 1 % of the human population. HHV-6 encodes a putative integrase U94 that possesses all molecular functions required for recombination including DNA-binding, ATPase, helicase and nuclease activity, and was hypothesized by many researchers to facilitate integration ever since the...
