| 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) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| b phage | b corynebacteriophage |
| virulent phage mutant | A mutant of a phage that is unable to establish lysogeny. (05 Mar 2000) |
| charon phage | A cloning vector made from the virus bacteriophage lambda that is used to clone DNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| phage | 1. Synonym for bacteriophage. 2. <suffix> Eating, devouring. Origin: L. Phagedaena, Gr Phago, To eat. (20 Jun 2000) |
| phage typing | <microbiology> Bacteria may be typed by their susceptibility to a range of bacteriophages though confusion may arise if the bacteria carry plasmids encoding restriction endonucleases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| helper phage | A virus which helps a separate and unrelated defective virus reproduce by infecting the same host cell that is already occupied by the defective virus and providing the proteins which the defective virus is missing and needs to complete its life cycle. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ssDNA phage | <molecular biology> Single strand DNA phages such as MS2, FX174, as opposed to double stranded DNA phages or RNA phages. (10 Mar 1998) |
| defective phage | A temperate bacteriophage mutant whose genome does not contain all of the normal components and cannot become fully infectious virus, yet can replicate indefinitely in the bacterial genome as defective probacteriophage; many defective bacteriophage's are mediators of transduction. Synonym: defective phage. (05 Mar 2000) |
