N2 - Integration of the reverse-transcribed viral DNA into host chromosomes is a critical step in the life-cycle of retroviruses, including an oncogenic delta(δ)-retrovirus human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1). Retroviral integrase forms a higher order nucleoprotein assembly (intasome) to catalyze the integration reaction, in which the roles of host factors remain poorly understood. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy to visualize the HTLV-1 intasome at 3.7-Å resolution. The structure together with functional analyses reveal that the B56γ (B’γ) subunit of an essential host enzyme, protein phosphatase 2 A (PP2A), is repurposed as an integral component of the intasome to mediate HTLV-1 integration. Our studies reveal a key host-virus interaction underlying the replication of an important human pathogen and highlight divergent integration strategies of retroviruses.
