Juxtaposition of two viral DNA ends in a bimolecular disintegration reaction mediated by multimers of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 or murine leukemia virus integrase

Integration of retroviral DNA involves a coordinated joining of the two ends of a viral DNA molecule into precisely spaced sites on target DNA. In this study, we designed an assay that requires two separate oligonucleotides to be brought together via interactions between integrase promoters to fo…
