Short Name | SH3_11 |
description | This is the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) found in retroviral integrase, an essential retroviral enzyme that binds both termini of linear viral DNA and inserts them into a host cell chromosome. The CTD adopts an SH3-like fold. Each CTD makes contact with the phosphodiester backbone of both viral DNA molecules, essentially crosslinking the structure []. |
