An insertion mutation in the pol gene of Moloney murine leukemia virus results in temperature-sensitive pol maturation and viral replication
Virology.
1989 Jun.
Abstract
An insertion mutation in the pol gene of Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) was found to render the virus temperature-sensitive for replication. A provirus containing a 12-bp insertion at the boundary between the reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN) domains induced the formation of mutant virions containing a partially processed RT-IN fusion protein. Some proteolytic processing to form mature RT and IN was observed at 32 degrees, but only aberrantly processed proteins were detected at 39 degrees. The uncleaved precursor was found to exhibit DNA polymerase activity, even though it could not support replication of the virus in vivo at 39 degrees.
