HIV-1 preintegration complex preferentially integrates the viral DNA into nucleosomes containing trimethylated histone 3-lysine 36 modification
2022-02-17
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 DNA integration into the host chromosomes is carried out by the preintegration complex (PIC). The PIC contains the viral DNA, virally encoded integrase enzyme and other critical viral/host factors. The PIC-associated viral DNA is preferentially integrated into gene bodies of actively transcribing genes. Here, we identify a biochemical mechanism underlying the preference of PIC-mediated viral DNA integration...
