Brujita Integrase: A Simple, Arm-Less, Directionless, and Promiscuous Tyrosine Integrase System [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2016 Mycobacteriophage Brujita is an unusual temperate phage in which establishment of superinfection immunity is dependent on chromosomal integration. Integration is mediated by a non-canonical tyrosine integrase (Int) lacking an N-terminal domain typically associated with binding to arm-type sites within the phage attachment site (attP).

Chimeric piggyBac transposases for genomic targeting in human cells. [PDF]
, 2012 Integrating vectors such as viruses and transposons insert transgenes semi-randomly and can potentially disrupt or deregulate genes. For these techniques to be of therapeutic value, a method for controlling the precise location of insertion is required ...

Evolution of Integrase Resistance During Failure of Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Therapy [PDF]
JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2010 Although integrase inhibitors are highly effective in the management of drug-resistant HIV, some patients fail to achieve durable viral suppression. The long-term consequences of integrase inhibitor failure have not been well defined.We identified 29 individuals who exhibited evidence of incomplete viral suppression on a regimen containing an integrase

Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.
