Abstract excerpt
Following transfection of murine fibroblasts, the lymphotropic strain of minute virus of mice (MVMi) does not efficiently produce progeny single-strand DNA (ssDNA). However, changing a single nucleotide in the MVMi 3' splice site to that found in the fibrotropic strain MVMp enabled full DNA replication and production of ssDNA. This change enhanced excision of the large intron and the production of NS2, likely by...
