HIV-1 integrase polymorphisms are associated with prior antiretroviral drug exposure
In a recent summary of integrase sequences, primary integrase inhibitor mutations were rare. In a review of integrase inhibitor-naïve Australian HIV-1 sequences, primary mutations were not identified, although the accessory mutation G140S was detected. A

A New Freshwater Cyanosiphovirus Harboring Integrase [PDF]
Pelagic cyanobacteria are key players in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems, and their viruses (cyanophages) potentially affect the abundance and composition of cyanobacterial communities. Yet, there are few well-described freshwater cyanophages relative to their marine counterparts, and in general, few cyanosiphoviruses (family Siphoviridae) have ...

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 ...

Pharmacology of HIV integrase inhibitors [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to review recent and relevant pharmacology data for three HIV integrase inhibitors: raltegravir (marketed), dolutegravir and elvitegravir (both in Phase III drug development).

Shewanella spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that thrive in aquatic niches and also can cause infectious diseases as opportunistic pathogens. Chromosomal (CI) and mobile integrons (MI) were previously described in some Shewanella isolates.

Type 1 diabetes is caused by aberrant activation of autoreactive T cells specific for the islet beta cells, but how these cells evade tolerance to become effector T cells is unknown. This study investigated whether islet‐specific T cells are activated in the gut via cross‐reactive bacterial derived peptides (molecular mimicry) or by non‐specific ...

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 ...

Docking Studies on HIV Integrase Inhibitors Based On Potential Ligand Binding Sites [PDF]
HIV integrase is a 32 kDa protein produced from the C-terminal portion of the Pol gene product, and is an attractive target for new anti-HIV drugs. Integrase is an enzyme produced by a retrovirus (such as HIV) that enables its genetic material to be integrated into the DNA of the infected cell.

TnSmu1 is an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) (a type of mobile element that is transferred from cell to cell via conjugation) found in the genome of the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans. We found that TnSmu1 is a functional ICE, capable of transfer to recipient cells that lack a copy of TnSmu1.
