Modulation of chromatin structure by the FACT histone chaperone complex regulates HIV-1 integration
28 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insertion of retroviral genome DNA occurs in the chromatin of the host cell. This step is modulated by chromatin structure as nucleosomes compaction was shown to prevent HIV-1 integration and chromatin remodeling has been reported to affect integration efficiency. LEDGF/p75-mediated targeting of the integration complex toward RNA polymerase II (polII) transcribed regions ensures optimal access to...
