Mutational Analysis of residue V408 of LEDGE/p75.
Masters thesis, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad.
Abstract
Lens Epithelium Derived Growth Factor (LEDGF/p75) is a human transcriptional co-activator and a dominant cellular binding partner of HIV-1 Integrase (IN). LEDGF/p75 tethers IN to the host chromatin aiding in formation of proviral DNA. This study involves generation of site directed mutations of Valine residue at position 408 and analyzing the effect of mutation upon interaction with IN. Previously characterized mutations L368A and D366A have been generated for serving as controls in pull-down analysis. The binding affinity of V408 and L368 mutants will be characterized by pull down analysis.
