HIV-1 Integrase C-terminal Domain Mutations Regulate ALLINI Sensitivity

Abhishek Kumar, Tung Dinh, Christian Shema Mugisha, Anthony Twumasi Boateng, Qianzi Zhou, Mamuka Kvaratskhelia, Sebla B. Kutluay

The paper shows that HIV-1 integrase C-terminal domain mutations affect sensitivity to ALLINIs by altering gRNA binding, despite being distant from the drug binding site.
