p24 forms inner protein layer of the nucleocapsid. ELISA tests for p24 is the most commonly used method to demonstrate virus replication both in vivo and in vitro.
RNase H digests the RNA strand of an RNA/DNA hybrid. Important enzyme in retroviral replication cycle, and often found as a domain associated with reverse transcriptases. Structure is a mixed alpha+beta fold with three a/b/a layers.

Integrase mediates integration of a DNA copy of the viral genome into the host chromosome. Integrase is composed of three domains. This domain is the amino-terminal domain zinc binding domain. The central domain is the catalytic domain Pfam:PF00665. The carboxyl terminal domain is a DNA binding domain Pfam:PF00552.
The zinc knuckle is a zinc binding motif composed of the the following CX2CX4HX4C where X can be any amino acid. The motifs are mostly from retroviral gag proteins (nucleocapsid). Prototype structure is from HIV. Also contains members involved in eu ...
The zinc knuckle is a zinc binding motif composed of the the following CX2CX4HX4C where X can be any amino acid. The motifs are mostly from retroviral gag proteins (nucleocapsid). Prototype structure is from HIV. Also contains members involved in eukaryotic gene regulation, such as C. elegans GLH-1. Structure is an 18-residue zinc finger.
Single domain aspartyl proteases from retroviruses, retrotransposons, and badnaviruses (plant dsDNA viruses). These proteases are generally part of a larger polyprotein; usually pol, more rarely gag. Retroviral proteases appear to be homologous to a ...
Single domain aspartyl proteases from retroviruses, retrotransposons, and badnaviruses (plant dsDNA viruses). These proteases are generally part of a larger polyprotein; usually pol, more rarely gag. Retroviral proteases appear to be homologous to a single domain of the two-domain eukaryotic aspartyl proteases such as pepsins, cathepsins, and renins (Pfam:PF00026).
Reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA polymerase)
A reverse transcriptase gene is usually indicative of a mobile element such as a retrotransposon or retrovirus. Reverse transcriptases occur in a variety of mobile elements, including retrotransposons, retroviruses, group II introns, bacterial msDNAs ...

Integrase mediates integration of a DNA copy of the viral genome into the host chromosome. Integrase is composed of three domains. The amino-terminal domain is a zinc binding domain. The central domain is the catalytic domain Pfam:PF00665. This domain is the carboxyl terminal domain that is a non-specific DNA binding domain [1].

Integrase mediates integration of a DNA copy of the viral genome into the host chromosome. Integrase is composed of three domains. The amino-terminal domain is a zinc binding domain Pfam:PF02022. This domain is the central catalytic domain. The carboxyl terminal domain that is a non-specific DNA binding domain Pfam:PF00552. The catalytic domain acts as an endonuclease when two nucleotides are removed from the 3' ends of the blunt-ended viral DNA made by reverse transcription. This domain also catalyses the DNA strand transfer reaction of the 3' ends of the viral DNA to the 5' ends of the integration site [1].
