Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Integrase Protein Promotes Reverse Transcription through Specific Interactions with the Nucleoprotein Reverse Transcription Complex
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase protein (IN) is essential for integration of the viral DNA into host cell chromosomes. Since IN is expressed and assembled into virions as part of the 160-kDa Gag-Pol precursor polyprotein and catalyzes integration of the provirus in infected cells as a mature 32-kDa protein, mutations in IN are pleiotropic and may affect virus replication at different...
