Characterization of HIV-1 Integrase Reactions with Viral DNA [PDF]
HIV-1 integrase (integrase) catalyzes the insertion of viral DNA into human chromosomes and is a focus for development of anti-integrase inhibitors to combat HIV infection. Integrase catalyzes two steps, a DNA-end cleavage reaction (3’-processing), and a

Rapid metabolic pathway assembly and modification using serine integrase site-specific recombination [PDF]
Synthetic biology requires effective methods to assemble DNA parts into devices and to modify these devices once made. Here we demonstrate a convenient rapid procedure for DNA fragment assembly using site-specific recombination by ϕC31 integrase.

Both the presence of latently infected cells and cell-to-cell viral transmission are means whereby HIV can partially evade the inhibitory activities of antiretroviral drugs.

The process of viral integration into the host genome is an essential step of the HIV-1 life cycle. The viral integrase (IN) enzyme catalyzes integration. IN is an ideal therapeutic enzyme targeted by several drugs; raltegravir (RAL), elvitegravir (EVG),

Structural Insights on Retroviral DNA Integration: Learning from Foamy Viruses
Foamy viruses (FV) are retroviruses belonging to the Spumaretrovirinae subfamily. They are non-pathogenic viruses endemic in several mammalian hosts like non-human primates, felines, bovines, and equines.

SITE-SPECIFIC RECOMBINATION OF THE MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSISPROPHAGE-LIKE ELEMENT PHIRV1 [PDF]
The site-specific recombination systems of bacteriophages and other mobile elements fall into two categories that are named for the integrase protein that catalyzes integration and excision of the phage genome.

Effectiveness of dolutegravir-based regimens as either first-line or switch antiretroviral therapy: data from the Icona cohort [PDF]
Introduction: Concerns about dolutegravir (DTG) tolerability in the real-life setting have recently arisen. We aimed to estimate the risk of treatment discontinuation and virological failure of DTG-based regimens from a large cohort of HIV-infected ...

CARE1, a TY3-gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposon in the food legume chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) [PDF]
We report a novel Ty3-gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposon CARE1 (_Cicer arietinum_ retro-element 1) in chickpea. This 5920-bp AT-rich (63%) element carries 723-bp 5' and 897-bp 3' LTRs respectively flanking an internal region of 4300-bp.

Comparative genomic analyses reveal a lack of a substantial signature of host adaptation in Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) [PDF]
Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) is a pathogenic actinomycete primarily infecting horses but has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. We have sequenced the genome of the type strain of this species, R.
