Lack of integrase can markedly affect human immunodeficiency virus type 1 particle production in the presence of an active viral protease.

Abstract excerpt

The Gag-Pol polyprotein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 is not required for efficient viral particle assembly or release. However, in this report we demonstrate that the synthesis of a truncated Gag-Pol precursor due to a premature termination codon in pol can reduce the ability of a full-length provirus to direct the formation of viral particles. Marked effects on particle production were seen when...
