Abstract excerpt
The structural and enzymatic components of retroviral cores are formed by proteolytic cleavage of precursor polypeptides, mediated by the viral protease (PR). We constructed an active-site mutation, D37I, in the PR of avian leukosis virus. The D37I mutation was introduced into an infectious DNA clone, and quail cell lines expressing the mutant virus were established. These cell lines produce normal amounts of...
