Retroviral integrases and their cousins [PDF]

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1996
The recently determined structures of the catalytic domains of HIV integrase, avian sarcoma virus integrase and the Mu transposase are strikingly similar to each other and also exhibit significant similarity to several nucleases. All these enzymes of cut polynucleotides, leaving 3'OH and 5'PO4 groups. The integrase and transposase also possess a strand-

Integrase and integration: biochemical activities of HIV-1 integrase [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2008
Integration of retroviral DNA is an obligatory step of retrovirus replication because proviral DNA is the template for productive infection. Integrase, a retroviral enzyme, catalyses integration. The process of integration can be divided into two sequential reactions.

Resistance to Integrase Inhibitors [PDF]

Viruses, 2010
Integrase (IN) is a clinically validated target for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infections and raltegravir exhibits remarkable clinical activity. The next most advanced IN inhibitor is elvitegravir. However, mutant viruses lead to treatment failure and mutations within the IN coding sequence appear to confer cross-resistance.

Clinical use of HIV integrase inhibitors : a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Optimal regimen choice of antiretroviral therapy is essential to achieve long-term clinical success. Integrase inhibitors have swiftly been adopted as part of current antiretroviral regimens.

Synthesis of programmable integrases [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009
Accurate modification of the 3 billion-base-pair human genome requires tools with exceptional sequence specificity. Here, we describe a general strategy for the design of enzymes that target a single site within the genome. We generated chimeric zinc finger recombinases with cooperative DNA-binding and catalytic specificities that integrate transgenes ...

Retroviral Integrase: Then and Now [PDF]

Annual Review of Virology, 2015
The retroviral integrases are virally encoded, specialized recombinases that catalyze the insertion of viral DNA into the host cell's DNA, a process that is essential for virus propagation. We have learned a great deal since the existence of an integrated form of retroviral DNA (the provirus) was first proposed by Howard Temin in 1964. Initial studies

New Applications for Phage Integrases [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2014
Within the last 25 years, bacteriophage integrases have rapidly risen to prominence as genetic tools for a wide range of applications from basic cloning to genome engineering. Serine integrases such as that from ϕC31 and its relatives have found an especially wide range of applications within diverse micro-organisms right through to multi-cellular ...

Weight gain and integrase inhibitors [PDF]

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2020
Purpose of review Weight gain and obesity among people living with HIV (PLWH) is a serious problem that occurs often after initiation of antiretroviral therapy but may be worse with integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs).

Imaging cell lineage with a synthetic digital recording system [PDF]

, 2020
Cell lineage plays a pivotal role in cell fate determination. Chow et al. demonstrate the use of an integrase-based synthetic barcode system called intMEMOIR, which uses the serine integrase Bxb1 to perform irreversible nucleotide edits.

Incorporation of aptamers in the terminal loop of shRNAs yields an effective and novel combinatorial targeting strategy. [PDF]

, 2017
Gene therapy by engineering patient's own blood cells to confer HIV resistance can potentially lead to a functional cure for AIDS. Toward this goal, we have previously developed an anti-HIV lentivirus vector that deploys a combination of shRNA, ribozyme ...
