Human immunodeficiency virus integrase directs integration to sites of severe DNA distortion within the nucleosome core.
21 Jun 1994
Abstract excerpt
We have examined the consequences of DNA distortion and specific histone-DNA contacts within the nucleosome for integration mediated by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-encoded integrase enzyme. We find that sites of high-frequency integration cluster in the most severely deformed, kinked DNA regions within the nucleosome core. This may reflect either a preference for a wide major groove for association of...
