Abstract
We present evidence showing that 22 of 24 (91.7%) IgMs purified from the sera of HIV-infected patients specifically hydrolyze only HIV IN but not many other tested proteins. Usually, proteolytic antibodies of AI patients are serine protease-like or metal dependent. Only 30% of IN-hydrolyzing IgMs we...

Abstract
We applied spectroscopy (circular dichroism, fluorescence) in a simplified model consisting in a peptide analogue (K156) of alpha4 helix involved in recognition of viral and cell DNA; an oligonucleotide corresponding to the U5' LTR DNA end; and an inhibitor (TB11) of the diketo acid (DKA) family. Re...

Abstract
We characterized the structural determinants of the 3'-processing reaction specificity--the first reaction of the integration process--at the DNA-binding level. We found that the integrase N-terminal domain, containing a pseudo zinc-finger motif, plays a key role, at least indirectly, in the formati...

Abstract
We therefore developed a direct integrase fusion protein strategy as an alternative way to package heterologous proteins into vectors. The method was tested by creating two different integrase fusion proteins, IN-p53 and IN-mCherry, cloned into the 3' end of pol in the packaging plasmid. Lentiviral...

Abstract
An antiproliferative ribonuclease with a new N-terminal sequence was purified from fruiting bodies of the edible wild mushroom Russula delica in this study. This novel ribonuclease was unadsorbed on DEAE-cellulose, but absorbed on SP-Sepharose and Q-Sepharose. It had a molecular mass of 14 kDa as ju...

The paper presents the data of an investigation of the polymorphism of the pol gene encoding HIV-1 integrase in a HIV subtype G infected population formed during the 1989 HIV-infection outbreak. The investigators analyzed 41 samples of the viruses obtained in 2005-2007. Polymorphism at codons associ...

Abstract
We show, for the first time, that formation of an Rev-LEDGF/p75 complex is a crucial step in regulating viral cDNA integration. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments at various times after virus infection revealed that, first, an integrase enzyme (IN)-LEDGF/p75 complex is formed, which is then replaced...

Abstract
Our observations demonstrate that Y143R/C mutants are strongly impaired for both of these activities in vitro. However, Y143R/C activity can be kinetically restored, thereby reproducing the effect of the secondary G140S mutation that rescues the defect associated with the Q148R/H mutants. A molecula...

Our hypothesis is that evolutionarily conserved regions in LEDGF/p75 exposed to solvent and harboring posttranslational modifications may be involved in its HIV-1 cofactor activity. Therefore, a panel of LEDGF/p75 deletion mutants targeting these protein regions were evaluated for their HIV-1 cofact...

Abstract
The major IN mutations E92Q, Q148K/R/H, N155H and E157Q (implicated in the resistance of IN inhibitors RAL and EVG) are highly conserved between subtypes B and CRF02_AG and display a similar genetic barrier.

Abstract
We used a novel resistance selection protocol to follow the emergence of resistant HIV in the presence of the integrase inhibitor elvitegravir (GS-9137).

Despite 40% heterogeneity between the HIV-1 and HIV-2 integrase genes, the phenotypic susceptibility of clinical HIV-2 isolates to INIs was similar to that of HIV-1. This new class of antiretroviral drugs thus represents a novel therapeutic possibility for HIV-2-infected patients who otherwise have...

Abstract
The HIV replication cycle passes through a stage of integrating proviral DNA into the cell's DNA. In this process, the viral enzyme, integrase, catalyses two reactions. The first reaction, which seems to occur in the cytoplasm, involves 3'-end processing, in which two nucleotides are removed from th...
