Host determinants of HTLV-1 integration site preference

Lentiviral Integration Site Targeting: Host Determinants and Consequences

A necessary step in the retroviral lifecycle is integration, the covalent insertion of the viral cDNA into the genome of the infected cell. This means that retroviruses, for example HIV, establish life-long infection. It also means that retroviruses are used as gene-delivery vectors to treat genetic diseases. Integration events are distributed non-randomly in the genome of the infected cell, wi...

Repair of Oxidative DNA Base Damage in the Host Genome Influences the HIV Integration Site Sequence Preference

Host base excision repair (BER) proteins that repair oxidative damage enhance HIV infection. These proteins include the oxidative DNA damage glycosylases 8-oxo-guanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and mutY homolog (MYH) as well as DNA polymerase beta (Polβ). While deletion of oxidative BER genes leads to decreased HIV infection and integration efficiency, the mechanism remains unknown. One hypothesis...

Casposon integration shows strong target site preference and recapitulates protospacer integration by CRISPR-Cas systems

Casposons are a recently discovered group of large DNA transposons present in diverse bacterial and archaeal genomes. For integration into the host chromosome, casposons employ an endonuclease that is homologous to the Cas1 protein involved in protospacer integration by the CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune system. Here we describe the site-preference of integration by the Cas1 integrase (casposase) e...
