We conclude that the additional AZT resistance conferred by codon 219 mutations did not provide significant selective advantage to the profiled HIV viruses, possibly because HIV had already acquired the maximum effective AZT resistance selectable, in vivo , when mutations arose at this codon.
This library was expressed from a vector that contained a centromere, a selectable marker, and the ADH1 promotor to drive expression.
Gene trap retroviruses developed in our laboratory contain a selectable marker in the U3 region of the long terminal repeat (LTR) of a replication-defective Moloney murine leukemia virus.
2 plasmid contains an oriE for plasmid replication in E. coli , the mycobacteriophage L5 integrase and attP site to allow integration into the M. smegmatis chromosome, two selectable genes, ble (bleomycin or zeocin resistance) and amp (ampicillin resistance), and the M. tuberculosis RV1221 ORF cloned downstream of the M. tuberculosis hsp60 promoter.
Alternatively, the problem may be avoided by using other selectable markers, assuming their sequences lack cryptic splice sites or by using gene trap vectors that rely on splicing to activate the expression of genes carried by the targeting vector.
