Abstract excerpt
Initiation of retrovirus reverse transcription requires the selection of a tRNA primer from the intracellular milieu. To investigate the features of primer selection, a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and a murine leukemia virus (MuLV) were created that require yeast tRNA(Phe) to be supplied in trans for infectivity. Wild-type yeast tRNA(Phe) expressed in mammalian cells was transported to the...
