RESUMO
Reverse transcriptase template switching has been invoked to explain several aspects of retroviral replication and recombination, and has been reported in vitro for the Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) reverse transcriptase. During in vitro cDNA synthesis, the avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) reverse transcriptase can switch from one template to another in a homology-dependent and temperature-dependent manner. Chimeric cDNA molecules are generated within 30 min at high incubation temperatures, with an increasing efficiency from 42 degrees C to 50 degrees C. Such products are detectable only after much longer incubation times when primer extension reactions are carried out at lower temperatures (90 min at 37 degrees C).
