| integrase | <enzyme> The HIV enzyme that inserts HIV's genes into a cells normal DNA. Integrase operates after reverse transcriptase has created a DNA version of the RNA form of HIV genes present in virus particles. Drugs that block the action of integrase are under development. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| integrase inhibitors | Compounds which inhibit or antagonise biosynthesis or actions of integrase. (12 Dec 1998) |
| integrase protein | <enzyme> An enzyme of the bacteriophage lambda (_) that catalyses the integration of phage DNA into the host DNA. (18 Nov 1997) |
| phage integrase family | <enzyme> Enzymes that mediate site specific recombination in prokaryotes. They fall into two families, phage integrases and resolvases. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| HIV integrase | <enzyme> 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 gene. Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| HIV integrase inhibitors | Inhibitors of HIV integrase, an enzyme required for integration of viral DNA into cellular DNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| HP1 integrase | <chemical> 337-residue polypeptide; amino acid sequence given in first source Synonym: site-specific integration protein hp1, haemophilus (26 Jun 1999) |
| endonuclease-integrase | <enzyme> Part of the hiv pol gene polyprotein Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: endonuclease-integrase, retroviral, hiv endonuclease-integrase, hiv-1 endonuclease protein p31 (26 Jun 1999) |
