Solution structure of the HIV-1 integrase-binding domain in LEDGF/p75
Overview
Lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 is the dominant binding, partner of HIV-1 integrase (IN) in human cells. We have determined the NMR, structure of the integrase-binding domain (IBD) in LEDGF and identified, amino acid residues essential for the interaction. The IBD is a compact, right-handed bundle composed of five alpha-helices. Based on folding, topology, the IBD is structurally related to a diverse family of, alpha-helical proteins that includes eukaryotic translation initiation, factor eIF4G and karyopherin-beta. LEDGF residues essential for the, interaction with IN were localized to interhelical loop regions of the, bundle structure. Interaction-defective IN mutants were previously shown, to cripple replication although they retained catalytic function. The, initial structure determination of a host cell factor that tightly binds, to a retroviral enzyme lays the groundwork for understanding enzyme-host, interactions important for viral replication.
