Characterization of the long-terminal repeat single-strand tail-binding site of Moloney-MuLV integrase by crosslinking

Processing of viral DNA by retroviral integrase leaves a dinucleotide single-strand overhang in the unprocessed strand. Previous studies have stressed the importance of the 5' single-stranded (ss) tail in the integration process. To characterize the ss-tail binding site on M-MuLV integrase, we...
