Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the integration of one DNA segment into another. [GOC:mah]
Integrase activity is a crucial molecular function in the life cycle of retroviruses, including HIV. It involves the enzyme integrase, which catalyzes the integration of viral DNA into the host cell's genome. This integration process is essential for the virus to replicate and spread. The molecular function of integrase activity can be broken down into three key steps:
1. **3'-Processing:** Integrase first binds to the viral DNA ends and removes two nucleotides, creating a 3' hydroxyl group on each strand. This step prepares the viral DNA for the integration reaction.
2. **Strand Transfer:** The processed viral DNA is then transferred to the host cell's DNA. This step involves the formation of a covalent bond between the viral DNA and the host DNA.
3. **Integration:** Finally, integrase completes the integration process by ligating the viral DNA into the host DNA. This step involves the repair of any gaps or nicks in the DNA strands.
Integrase activity is a highly regulated process, with several factors affecting its efficiency and accuracy. These factors include the presence of specific DNA sequences, the conformation of the viral DNA ends, and the interaction of integrase with other viral and cellular proteins.
Overall, integrase activity plays a vital role in retroviral infection, and its inhibition is a major focus in the development of antiretroviral therapies.'
