Integration is essential for retroviral replication and gene therapy using retroviral vectors. HIV-1 integrase specifically recognizes the terminal sequences of each long terminal repeats (LTR) and cleaves the 3-end terminal dinucleotide 5-GT. The exposed 3-hydroxyl is then positioned for nucleophilic attack and subsequent strand transfer into another DNA duplex (target or chromosomal DNA). We report that both the terminal cytosine at the protruding 5-end of the LTR (5-C) and the integrase residue Q148 are critical for strand transfer. Proximity of the 5-C and Q148 was demonstrated by disulfide crosslinking. Crosslinking is inhibited by the inhibitor 5CITEP. We propose that strand transfer requires a conformational change of the integrase-viral (donor) DNA complex with formation of an H-bond between the N3 of the 5-C and the amine group of Q148. These findings have implications for the molecular mechanisms coupling 3-processing and strand transfer as well as for the molecular pharmacology of integrase inhibitors.
