Prototype foamy virus integrase is promiscuous for target choice.

Abstract:

:Retroviruses have two essential activities: reverse transcription and integration. The viral protein integrase (IN) covalently joins the viral cDNA genome to the host DNA. Prototype foamy virus (PFV) IN has become a model of retroviral intasome structure. However, this retroviral IN has not been well-characterized biochemically. Here we compare PFV IN to previously reported HIV-1 IN activities and discover significant differences. PFV IN is able to utilize the divalent cation calcium during strand transfer while HIV-1 IN is not. HIV-1 IN was shown to completely commit to a target DNA within 1 min, while PFV IN is not fully committed after 60 min. These results suggest that PFV IN is more promiscuous compared to HIV-1 IN in terms of divalent cation and target commitment.

  • Downregulation of FOXP3 inhibits invasion and immune escape in cholangiocarcinoma.

    abstract::FOXP3 is known as a master control of regulatory T cells with recently studies indicating its expression in several tumor cells. In order to study the precise role of FOXP3 in cholangiocarcinoma, FOXP3 was knocked down in cholangiocarcinoma cell lines. Down regulation of FOXP3 inhibits tumor cell invasion by reducing ...
