Human transcriptional coactivator p75/lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF) binds human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN). We studied the effects of LEDGF on the assembly and activity of HIV-1 synaptic complexes, which, upon association with a target, mediate concerted integration of viral DNA substrates in vitro. We found that while augmenting single-ended viral DNA integration into target DNA, the host factor was able to either stimulate or abrogate concerted integration in a concentration-dependent manner. LEDGF modestly stimulated (two- to threefold) concerted integration at low molar ratios to IN (<1). The modest stimulation was independent of solution conditions and several different viral DNA substrates. In solution, concerted integration was inhibited if the molar ratios of LEDGF to IN were >1, apparently due to the disruption of IN-IN interactions essential for the formation of active synaptic complexes prior to their association with a circular target. The isolated IN binding domain of LEDGF was sufficient to stimulate and inhibit concerted integration, as observed with full-length protein, albeit at lower efficiencies. Our data show that LEDGF differentially affects IN-DNA complexes mediating single-ended viral DNA integration and synaptic complexes mediating concerted integration. Synaptic complexes associated with target, termed strand transfer complexes, are resistant to disruption by high concentrations of LEDGF. The results suggest that LEDGF may influence HIV-1 integration in vivo.
