| Abstract | Retroviral integrase (IN) catalyzes the integration of retroviral cDNA into host chromosome. Ini1 (integrase interactor 1) is a host protein that specifically binds and stimulates in vitro joining activity of HIV-1 IN. Ini1 has homology to yeast transcription factor SNF5 and is a component of the analogous mammalian SWI/SNF complex that can remodel chromatin. Little is known about the function of Ini1 in mammalian cells. To gain insight into the functional domains of Ini1, and to understand the details of protein-protein interactions of IN and Ini1, a structure-function analysis of Ini1 was initiated. By means of the yeast two-hybrid system, the minimal IN binding domain of Ini1 was characterized. One of the two repeat motifs present in the highly conserved regions of Ini1 was found necessary and sufficient to bind to IN in yeast as well as in vitro. Because IN binds to only one of the two repeat motifs in this conserved region of Ini1, it appears that the IN-Ini1 interaction is very specific and functionally significant. Characterization of DNA-binding properties of Ini1 revealed that Ini1 can bind to plasmid DNA, binding more readily to supercoiled DNA than to the relaxed circular DNA. The minimal domain for DNA binding was localized to a region upstream of repeat 1. The DNA binding activity of Ini1 is not required for its ability to interact with IN. The finding that the two repeat motifs of Ini1 display differential binding to HIV-1 IN and that this discrete component of mammalian SWI/SNF complex binds to DNA will help understand the role of Ini1 in HIV-1 integration and in cellular process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
