A nucleoprotein complex mediates the integration of retroviral DNA.
The integration of viral DNA into the host genome is an essential step in the retrovirus life cycle. To understand this process better, we have examined the native state of viral DNA in cells acutely infected by murine leukemia virus (MLV), using both a physical assay for viral DNA and a functional assay for integration activity (Brown et al. 1987). The viral DNA and integration activity copuri...
متن کاملDirect Visualization of HIV-1 Replication Intermediates Shows that Capsid and CPSF6 Modulate HIV-1 Intra-nuclear Invasion and Integration.
Direct visualization of HIV-1 replication would improve our understanding of the viral life cycle. We adapted established technology and reagents to develop an imaging approach, ViewHIV, which allows evaluation of early HIV-1 replication intermediates, from reverse transcription to integration. These methods permit the simultaneous evaluation of both the capsid protein (CA) and viral DNA genome...
متن کاملHIV-1 Gag processing intermediates trans-dominantly interfere with HIV-1 infectivity.
Protease inhibitors (PI) act by blocking human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) polyprotein processing, but there is no direct quantitative correlation between the degree of impairment of Gag processing and virion infectivity at low PI concentrations. To analyze the consequences of partial processing, virus particles were produced in the presence of limiting PI concentrations or by co-transfection ...
متن کاملCellular co-factors of HIV-1 integration.
To achieve productive infection, the reverse transcribed cDNA of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is inserted in the host cell genome. The main protein responsible for this reaction is the viral integrase. However, studies indicate that the virus is assisted by cellular proteins, or co-factors, to achieve integration into the infected cell. The barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF)...
متن کاملViral protein R regulates nuclear import of the HIV-1 pre-integration complex.
Replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in non-dividing cells critically depends on import of the viral pre-integration complex into the nucleus. Genetic evidence suggests that viral protein R (Vpr) and matrix antigen (MA) are directly involved in the import process. An in vitro assay that reconstitutes nuclear import of HIV-1 pre-integration complexes in digitonin-permeabili...
