Abstract

The avian myeloblastosis virus integration protein (IN) was capable of removing a specific set of 3'-OH-terminal nucleotides from blunt-ended long terminal repeat (LTR) substrates which resembled linear viral DNA in vivo. The 3'-OH-recessed ends map to the in vivo site of integration on linear viral DNA. The linear DNA plasmid substrate was formed by the generation of a unique DraI restriction enzyme site (TTT/AAA) at the circle junction of a 330-bp tandem LTR-LTR insert. IN preferentially released the three T nucleotides from the minus strand of the U3 LTR substrate compared with its ability to remove the three T nucleotides from the plus strand of the U5 LTR substrate. It was also observed that IN was capable of cleaving a non-LTR DNA substrate containing sequence homology to the U5 LTR terminus.
