Mutations in the Primer Grip Region of HIV Reverse Transcriptase Can Increase Replication Fidelity
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the primer grip region of human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase (HIV-RT) affect its replication fidelity. The primer grip region (residues 227-235) correctly positions the 3'-ends of primers. Point mutations were created by alanine substitution at positions 224-235. Error frequencies were measured by extension of a dG:dA primer-template mismatch. Mutants E224A, P225A, P226A, L228A, and...
