Human immunodeficiency virus integrase—Transportin—SR protein—protein interactions
The present invention relates to protein-protein interactions involved in AIDS. More specifically, the present invention relates to complexes of polypeptides or polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, fragments of the polypeptides, antibodies to the complexes, Selected Interacting Domains (SID®) which are identified due to the protein-protein interactions, methods for screening drugs for agents which modulate the interaction of proteins and pharmaceutical compositions that are capable of modulating the protein-protein interactions.
1. An isolated and purified human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase/Transportin-SR complex, wherein the HIV integrase has a selected interacting domain having a sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:128, and the Transportin-SR has a selected interacting domain having a sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:40.
2. An isolated and purified HIV integrase/Transportin-SR complex, wherein the HIV integrase has a selected interacting domain having a sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:128, and the Transportin-SR has a selected interacting domain having a sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:40.
