P O Box 7072 Kampala Uganda 2 BioMed Central Abstract Background Infection with HIV which culminates in the establishment of a latent proviral reservoir presents formidable challenges for ultimate cure. Building on the hypothesis that ex-vivo or even in-vivo abolition or disruption of HIV-gene genome-action by target mutagenesis or excision can irreversibly abrogate HIV s innate fitness to replicate and survive we previously identified the isoschizomeric bacteria restriction enzymes REases AcsI and ApoI as potent cleavers of the HIV-pol gene 11 and 9 times in HIV-1 and 2 respectively . However both enzymes along with others found to cleave across the entire HIV-1 genome slice SX at palindromic sequences that are prevalent within the human genome and thereby pose the risk of host genome toxicity. A long-term goal in the field of R-M enzymatic therapeutics has thus been to generate synthetic restriction endonucleases with longer recognition sites limited in specificity to HIV. We aimed i to assemble and construct zinc finger arrays and nucleases ZFN with either proviral-HIV-pol gene or proviral-HIV-1 wholegenome specificity respectively and ii to advance a model for pre-clinically testing lentiviral vectors LV that deliver and transduce either ZFN genotype. Methods and Results First we computationally generated the consensus sequences of a 114 dsDNA-binding zinc finger Zif arrays ZFAs or ZifHIV-pol and b two zinc-finger nucleases ZFNs which unlike the AcsI and ApoI homeodomains possess specificity to 18 base-pair
