Rapid reversion of a deletion mutation in Moloney murine leukemia virus by recombination with a closely related endogenous provirus.
Virology - 1 Jan 1990

Abstract excerpt
During abortive infection of mouse cells, defective retroviruses carrying deletions in essential functions can recombine with endogenous retroviral sequences to form viable, replication-competent viruses. We have examined the reversion of a mutant Moloney murine leukemia virus with a deletion in the protease domain of the pol gene after infection of NIH/3T3 cells. In this system revertants arise quickly, only 2...
