The road to chromatin—nuclear entry of retroviruses

Y Suzuki, R Craigie - Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007 - nature.com
Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) and other retroviruses synthesize a DNA
copy of their genome after entry into the host cell. Integration of this DNA into the host cell's …

Integrase, LEDGF/p75 and HIV replication

EM Poeschla - Cellular and molecular life sciences, 2008 - Springer
HIV integrates a DNA copy of its genome into a host cell chromosome in each replication
cycle. The essential DNA cleaving and joining chemistry of integration is known, but there is …

HIV-1 integrase forms stable tetramers and associates with LEDGF/p75 protein in human cells

P Cherepanov, G Maertens, P Proost… - Journal of Biological …, 2003 - ASBMB
We studied human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN) complexes derived

LEDGF/p75 is essential for nuclear and chromosomal targeting of HIV-1 integrase in human cells

G Maertens, P Cherepanov, W Pluymers… - Journal of Biological …, 2003 - ASBMB
We have reported that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN) forms a

Structural basis for the recognition between HIV-1 integrase and transcriptional coactivator p75

P Cherepanov, ALB Ambrosio… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
Integrase (IN) is an essential retroviral enzyme, and human transcriptional coactivator p75,
which is also referred to as lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF), is the dominant …

Allosteric integrase inhibitor potency is determined through the inhibition of HIV-1 particle maturation

KA Jurado, H Wang, A Slaughter… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Integration is essential for HIV-1 replication, and the viral integrase (IN) protein is an
important therapeutic target. Allosteric IN inhibitors (ALLINIs) that engage the IN dimer …

Innate sensing of HIV-infected cells

A Lepelley, S Louis, M Sourisseau, HKW Law… - PLoS …, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Cell-free HIV-1 virions are poor stimulators of type I interferon (IFN) production. We
examined here how HIV-infected cells are recognized by plasmacytoid dendritic cells …

Integrase Mutants Defective for Interaction with LEDGF/p75 Are Impairedin Chromosome Tethering and HIV-1Replication

S Emiliani, A Mousnier, K Busschots, M Maroun… - Journal of Biological …, 2005 - ASBMB
The insertion of a DNA copy of its RNA genome into a chromosome of the hostcell is
mediated by the viral integrase with the help of mostlyuncharacterized cellular cofactors. We …

Clustering and reverse transcription of HIV‐1 genomes in nuclear niches of macrophages

E Rensen, F Mueller, V Scoca, JJ Parmar… - The EMBO …, 2021 - embopress.org
In order to replicate, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV‐1) reverse‐transcribes its RNA
genome into DNA, which subsequently integrates into host cell chromosomes. These two …

HIV-1 infection requires a functional integrase NLS

M Bouyac-Bertoia, JD Dvorin, RAM Fouchier, Y Jenkins… - Molecular cell, 2001 - cell.com
HIV-1 is able to infect nondividing cells productively in part because the postentry viral
nucleoprotein complexes are actively imported into the nucleus. In this manuscript, we …
