    Background

    Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF or BANF1) plays a major role in the lifecycle of retroviruses, where it inhibits the reverse transcribed viral genome from integrating into itself (1-3). BAF exists as a dimer in solution, and serves as a bridge for double-stranded DNA in an ordered nucleoprotein complex (4). BAF interacts with LEM-domains of lamin binding proteins emerin and LAP2, and serves to help reform the nuclear envelope during telophase (5-7). The binding of BAF to its various partners is inhibited by Ser4 phosphorylation, which is deposited by vaccinia-related kinases (VRKs) and occurs during interphase and mitosis (8,9). Certain viral genomes encode kinases extremely similar to VRK to prevent BAF from binding to their DNA, impeding viral replication (10,11). BAF has been implicated in various tumor types and is associated with poor prognosis (12-14).
