The mechanism of retroviral integration through X-ray structures of its key intermediates

To establish successful infection, a retrovirus must insert a DNA replica of its genome into host cell chromosomal DNA1,2. This process is carried out by the intasome, a nucleoprotein complex comprised of a tetramer of integrase (IN) assembled on the viral DNA ends3,4. The intasome engages chromosom...
