: The oligomerization of HIV-1 integrase onto DNA is not well understood. Here we show that HIV-1 integrase binds the DNA in biphasic (high-affinity and low-affinity) modes. For HIV-1 subtype B, the high-affinity mode is ∼100-fold greater than the low-affinity mode (Kd.DNA = 37 and 3400 nmol/l, respectively). The Kd.DNA values of patient-derived integrases containing subtype-specific polymorphisms were affected two- to four-fold, suggesting that polymorphisms may have an influence on effective-c ...[more]
