Model for HIV-1 integration and transcription. (A) HIV-1 integration is mainly determined by LEDGF/p75 binding to H3K36me3 in active genes. HIV-1 also integrates near enhancer regions characterized by H3K27ac and H3K4me1. Integration in these areas is associated with high RNA expression. (B) LEDGIN treatment retargets integration away from actively transcribed regions to silent genes and intergenic regions, resulting in provirus with lower RNA expression. However, some LEDGF/p75-independent integrations might still occur near regulatory elements, explaining few high residual expressors even in the presence of LEDGINs.
