Structural Studies of the HIV-1 Integrase Protein: Compound Screening and Characterization of a DNA-Binding Inhibitor. [PDF]
Understanding the HIV integrase protein and mechanisms of resistance to HIV integrase inhibitors is complicated by the lack of a full length HIV integrase crystal structure. Moreover, a lentiviral integrase structure with co-crystallised DNA has not been

Multimodal Functionalities of HIV-1 Integrase
Integrase is the retroviral protein responsible for integrating reverse transcripts into cellular genomes. Co-packaged with viral RNA and reverse transcriptase into capsid-encased viral cores, human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) integrase has long ...

Allosteric Inhibitor Development Targeting HIV‐1 Integrase [PDF]
AbstractHIV‐1 integrase (IN) is one of three essential enzymes for viral replication, and is a focus of ardent antiretroviral drug discovery and development efforts. Diligent research has led to the development of the strand‐transfer‐specific chemical class of IN inhibitors, with two compounds from this group, raltegravir and elvitegravir, advancing ...

Protein Oligomer Engineering: A New Frontier for Studying Protein Structure, Function, and Toxicity
This minireview classifies protein oligomers according to toxicity, biological function, and application as well as summarizes frontier methods for engineering protein oligomers. From the analysis of the advantages and deficits of each methodology, we highlight protein grafting as a promising and robust method for future oligomer engineering with the ...

The Drug-Induced Interface That Drives HIV-1 Integrase Hypermultimerization and Loss of Function
Allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) are an emerging class of small molecules that disrupt viral maturation by inducing the aberrant multimerization of IN. Here, we present cocrystal structures of HIV-1 IN with two potent ALLINIs, namely,

Structural Basis for Inhibitor-Induced Aggregation of HIV Integrase. [PDF]
The allosteric inhibitors of integrase (termed ALLINIs) interfere with HIV replication by binding to the viral-encoded integrase (IN) protein. Surprisingly, ALLINIs interfere not with DNA integration but with viral particle assembly late during HIV ...

Multimodal mechanism of action of allosteric HIV-1 integrase inhibitors [PDF]
Integrase (IN) is required for lentivirus replication and is a proven drug target for the prevention of AIDS in HIV-1-infected patients. While clinical strand transfer inhibitors disarm the IN active site, allosteric inhibition of enzyme activity through the disruption of IN–IN protein interfaces holds great therapeutic potential.
