Figure 2

Effect of different IN C-terminal substitution mutants on IN-YFP intracellular localization. A) Diagram of HIV-1 IN domain structure and introduced mutations at the C-terminal domain of the protein. The position of lysines in two tri-lysine regions and introduced mutations are shown at the bottom of sequence. B) The expression of the wild-type and mutant IN-YFP fusion proteins were detected in transfected 293T cells by using immunoprecipitation with anti-HIV serum and Western blot with rabbit anti-GFP antibody, as described in figure 1. The molecular weight markers are indicated at the left side of the gel. C) Intracellular localization of different HIV-1 IN mutant-YFP fusion proteins in HeLa cells were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy with a 50× oil immersion objective. The nucleus of HeLa cells was simultaneously visualized by DAPI staining (lower panel).
