Identification of Amino Acids Inserted During Suppression of UAA and UGA Termination Codons at the gag-pol Junction of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus

Expression of the murine leukemia virus pol gene occurs by translational read through of an in-frame UAG codon between the gag and pol coding regions. In a previous study, we mutated the UAG codon to ...
