Retroviral integrase plays an important role in
choosing host chromosomal sites for integration of the cDNA copy of
the viral genome. The domain responsible for target site selection has
been previously mapped to the central core of the protein (amino acid residues 49-238). Chimeric integrases between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) were prepared to examine the involvement of a nonspecific DNA-binding region
(residues 213-266) and certain helices within the core domain in
target site selection. Determination of the distribution and frequency
of integration events of the chimeric integrases narrowed the target
site-specifying motif to within residues 49-187 and showed that 3
and 4 helices (residues 123-166) were not involved in target site
selection. Furthermore, the chimera with the 2 helix (residues
118-121) of FIV identity displayed characteristic integration events
from both HIV-1 and FIV integrases. The results indicate that the 2
helix plays a role in target site preference as either part of a larger
or multiple target site-specifying motif.
