FIGURE 5.
Amino acid conservation rate along IN in HIV-1 and group M consensus. Aa, amino acid; M, group M consensus. IN, integrase (288 aa). Dots in group M represent the same aa as in HIV-1 consensus for that position. HXB2 reference sequence is described below the groups for further guidance. Colors represent the conservation rate. Residues of the zinc-binding site (His12, His16, Cys40, and Cys43) and the D–D–E motif of the catalytic domain (Asp64, Asp116, and Glu152) are highlighted in red font. Green circles indicate positions where major INSTIs DRM are located according to Stanford v9.0 (Release Notes - HIV Drug Resistance Database, 2020). Aa code according to Figure 3.
