Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase mutants retain in vitro integrase activity yet fail to integrate viral DNA efficiently during infection
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
The viral integrase (IN) protein is the only viral protein known to be required for integration of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) genome into the host cell DNA, a step in the viral life cycle that is essential for viral replication. To better understand the relationship between in vitro IN activity and IN-mediated integration of viral DNA in an infected cell, we characterized the effects of 13 IN...
