Integrase deficient lentiviral vector: prospects for safe clinical applications [PDF]
HIV-1 derived lentiviral vector is an efficient transporter for delivering desired genetic materials into the targeted cells among many viral vectors. Genetic material transduced by lentiviral vector is integrated into the cell genome to introduce new ...

Antiretroviral drugs to prevent integration of the HIV viral genome into chromosomes are undergoing clinical trials, yet they have been developed with an imperfect understanding of their mechanism of action. The recent crystal structure of the major viral protein integrase from a related, little‐known retrovirus, has finally provided insight into how ...

Comparative biochemical analysis of HIV-1 subtype B and C integrase enzymes
Background Integrase inhibitors are currently being incorporated into highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Due to high HIV variability, integrase inhibitor efficacy must be evaluated against a range of integrase enzymes from different subtypes ...

Resistance to inhibitors of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integration
This review will summarize the role of integrase in HIV-1 infection, the mechanism of integrase inhibitors and resistance with an emphasis on raltegravir (RAL), the first integrase inhibitor licensed to treat HIV-1 infection.

Structural and Functional Insights into Foamy Viral Integrase
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.

Weight Gain Associated with Integrase Stand Transfer Inhibitor Use in Women.
BACKGROUND Integrase strand-transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended for HIV management. Although studies have suggested associations between INSTIs and weight gain, women living with HIV (WLHIV) are underrepresented ...

Long-Acting Anti-HIV Drugs Targeting HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase and Integrase
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 ...
