Abstract excerpt
On reexamination of temperature-sensitive D-type (tsD) mutants of simian virus 40 (SV40), we found that the tsD222 mutant is identical to the VP2 M228I mutant, which is defective in VP4 expression, at the nucleotide level. Although a previous study reported that lack of VP4 caused defects in viral dissemination in BSC-1 cells, this mutant showed a temperature-sensitive growth defect in CV-1 cells. tsD101:VP3...
