Photo-Cross-Linking Studies Suggest a Model for the Architecture of an Active Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Integrase−DNA Complex
28 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
The virally encoded integrase protein carries out retroviral integration, which requires specific interactions with the two ends of the viral DNA, and also with host DNA that is the target of integration. We attached a photo-cross-linking agent to specific viral and target DNA sites to identify regions of the integrase polypeptide that are in close proximity to those substrate features in the active integrase-DNA...
