Mutation of a consensus purine nucleotide binding site in the adeno-associated virus rep gene generates a dominant negative phenotype for DNA replication.

Abstract excerpt

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) contains a multifunctional nonstructural gene, rep, which is required for AAV DNA replication and has pleiotropic effects on positive and negative regulation of gene expression. All of the parvovirus nonstructural genes contain a region of highly conserved amino acid homology. Within this conserved region is the consensus sequence for a purine nucleotide binding site. We constructed a...
