Structural and Functional Insights into Foamy Viral Integrase
Viruses, 2013 Successful integration of retroviral DNA into the host chromosome is an essential step for viral replication. The process is mediated by virally encoded integrase (IN) and orchestrated by 3'-end processing and the strand transfer reaction.

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 ...

Long-Acting Anti-HIV Drugs Targeting HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase and Integrase
Pharmaceuticals, 2019 One of the major factors contributing to HIV-1 drug resistance is suboptimal adherence to combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Currently, recommended cART for HIV-1 treatment is a three-drug combination, whereas the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP ...

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.

Nonhuman Primates and Humanized Mice for Studies of HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors: A Review
Pathogens and Immunity, 2016 Since the discovery of the first inhibitors of HIV replication, drug resistance has been a major problem in HIV therapy, due, in part, to the high mutation rate of HIV.

Small molecule inhibitors of the LEDGF site of human immunodeficiency virus integrase identified by fragment screening and structure based design. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A fragment-based screen against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) integrase led to a number of compounds that bound to the lens epithelium derived growth factor (LEDGF) binding site of the integrase catalytic core domain.

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 ...

RAP44 phage integrase-guided 50K genomic island integration in Riemerella anatipestifer
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteria and bacteriophages have been fighting for survival. Over time, the evolution of both populations has been affected.
