Comparison of mutational spectra induced by retroviral RTs during RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA synthesis. (Up) Combined mutational spectra derived from RNA-dependent DNA synthesis reactions including all RTs analysed in this study (Supplementary Figs S2 to S7). RTs included are those of WT HIV-1BH10 (pink), HIV-1ESP49 (purple), AMV (red), and MLV (green), and mutants O_K65R/V75I (blue) and O_K65R (brown). (Bottom) Combined mutational spectra induced during DNA-dependent DNA synthesis reactions, and taken from previously published reports15,18,36. RT colour codes are the same as above. For all RTs and mutational spectra, single-nucleotide substitutions are indicated by the letter corresponding to the new base above the template sequence of the lacZα target. Open upright triangles represent insertions and inverted triangles indicate deletions. The triangles are positioned at the 3′ end of the frameshift, with the number of inserted/deleted nucleotides indicated between parentheses. If not specified, one-nucleotide insertions correspond to the duplication of the base where the triangle is positioned.
