Abstract excerpt

A sequence of 21 amino acids (aa) in the C-terminal region of the 286-aa avian sarcoma virus (ASV) integrase (IN) protein has been shown previously to mediate nuclear localization of both IN and beta-galactosidase (betaGal) protein fused to it. This karyophilic sequence includes a high proportion...
