Abstract excerpt
The preference of MuLV for the selection of tRNA(Pro) as a replication primer was investigated by altering the primer-binding site (PBS) to be complementary to tRNA(Lys,3). MuLV-based vectors with a PBS complementary to tRNA(Lys,3) were found to be approximately 2-fold less infectious than vectors with the wild-type PBS complementary to tRNA(Pro). MuLV with a PBS complementary to tRNA(Lys,3) was replication...
