Sequences necessary for transduction of human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-Kcon, a consensus of the HERV-K(HML-2) family, were analyzed and found to reside in the leader/gag region. They act in an orientation-dependent way and consist of at least two sites working together. Having defined these sequences, we exploited this information to produce a simple system to investigate to what extent virions of HERV-Kcon, murine leukemia virus, and HIV-1 have the ability to transduce each other's genomes, leading to potential contamination of gene therapy vectors.
对人类内源性逆转录病毒(HERV)-Kcon(HERV-K(HML-2)家族的一个共有序列)转导所需的序列进行了分析,发现其位于前导/ gag区域。它们以方向依赖的方式起作用,并且由至少两个共同起作用的位点组成。确定这些序列后,我们利用这些信息构建了一个简单的系统,以研究HERV-Kcon、鼠白血病病毒和HIV-1的病毒粒子在多大程度上能够相互转导彼此的基因组,从而导致基因治疗载体的潜在污染。
