    AnnotationMost retroviruses employ a frameshift mechanism during polyprotein synthesis to balance appropriate ratios of structural proteins and enzymes. To investigate the requirements for individual precursors in retrovirus assembly, we modified the polyprotein repertoire of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV) to imitate the polyprotein organization of Rous sarcoma virus or Human immunodeficiency virus. For the "Rous-like" virus, assembly was impaired with no incorporation of Gag-Pro-Pol into particles and for the "HIV-like" virus an altered morphogenesis was observed. All the mutants were non-infectious except the "HIV-like", which retained fractional infectivity.
