HIV-1 integrase mediates a processed viral DNA into the host genome DNA. The binding modes between HIV-1 integrase and viral/host DNA have not been clarified until now. The C-terminal domain of integrase has been found to be a DNA-binding domain. In this work, we have explored the possible DNA binding sites of dimeric C-terminal domain by docking dinucleotides to HIV-1 integrase. The docking results suggest that two symmetrical DNA-binding sites are likely located on the outside surface of the dimeric C-terminal domain and not located in the groove. Those sites are in agreement with the experimental data.
HIV-1整合酶将经过加工的病毒DNA介导到宿主基因组DNA中。迄今为止,HIV-1整合酶与病毒/宿主DNA之间的结合模式尚未明确。已发现整合酶的C末端结构域是一个DNA结合结构域。在这项工作中,我们通过将二核苷酸对接至HIV-1整合酶,探索了二聚体C末端结构域可能的DNA结合位点。对接结果表明,两个对称的DNA结合位点可能位于二聚体C末端结构域的外表面,而非位于凹槽中。这些位点与实验数据相符。
