Abstract excerpt
The retroviral integrase (IN) protein is essential for integration of retroviral DNA into the host cell genome. To identify functional domains within the protein and to assess the importance of conserved residues, we performed site-directed mutagenesis of HIV-1 IN and analyzed the mutants in vitro for IN-mediated activities: 3' processing (att site-specific nuclease activity), strand transfer (the joining of att...
