A little-understood enzyme that plays a vital role in the HIV infection process. Integrase inserts HIV's genes into a cell's normal DNA.

Integrase is a viral enzyme produced by HIV. Integrase enable the insertion of viral genetic material into the host’s cell.

Recombinases that insert exogenous DNA into the host Genome. Examples include Proteins encoded by the pol Gene of Retroviridae and also by temperate Bacteriophages, the best known being Bacteriophage [..]

Enzyme of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus that is required to integrate Viral DNA into Cellular DNA in the nucleus of a host Cell. HIV Integrase is a DNA nucleotidyltransferase encoded by the pol Gen [..]

An enzyme found in HIV (and other retroviruses). HIV uses integrase to insert (integrate) its viral DNA into the DNA of the host CD4 cell. Integration is a crucial step in the HIV life cycle and is targeted by a class of antiretroviral (ARV) HIV drugs called integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs). See Related Term(s): Integrase Strand Transf [..]

An enzyme produced by HIV and other retroviruses that facilitates integration of the viral genome DNA into the host cell DNA.

A recombinase that binds to the AttP and AttB sites between the phage genome and host genome, or AttL and AttR sites in a lysogen. Integrases induce homologous DNA recombination between the two sites to either integrate the phage genome into the bacterial genome or (with the help of an RDF or excise) remove the prophage from the bacterial genome.
