Abstract excerpt
Retroviral DNA synthesis requires both the DNA polymerase and the RNaseH activities of reverse transcriptase (RT). To test whether two defective RTs--one carrying a mutation in the RNaseH domain and the other with a mutation in DNA polymerase--could work together to complete viral DNA synthesis, we generated phenotypically mixed virions of Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) that contained two kinds of mutant...
