The bet gene of feline foamy virus is required for virus replication.

Virology - 1 Sept 2001

Alke A, Schwantes A, Kido K, Flötenmeyer M, Flügel R M, Löchelt M

Abstract excerpt

Foamy viruses (FV) are complex retroviruses with additional bel genes located between env and the 3' long-terminal repeat. The functions of the bel 2 and bet genes are unknown and both are dispensable for replication of the prototypic human foamy virus in cell cultures. We examined the function(s) of bel 2 and bet of the distantly related feline foamy virus (FFV) in the proviral context. Mutagenesis was used to...
