Abstract excerpt
Murine leukemia virus (MLV) p12, encoded within Gag, binds the viral preintegration complex (PIC) to the mitotic chromatin. This acts to anchor the viral PIC in the nucleus as the nuclear envelope re-forms postmitosis. Mutations within the p12 C terminus (p12 PM13 to PM15) block early stages in viral replication. Within the p12 PM13 region (p12 60PSPMA65), our studies indicated that chromatin tethering was not...
