Strategy to suppress homologous recombination in HIV-1. (A) Control vector pair. The asterisk denotes an inactivating frameshift mutation, whereas ā€˜Iā€™ indicates an internal ribosome entry site. (B) Vector pair designed to suppress recombination. Recombination was suppressed in 2.5 kb of the viral genome by replacing the wild-type HIV-1 rt and in regions with synthetic HIV-1 rt (blue) or HIV-2 ROD in (red) regions. The effects of suppressing recombination could be determined by analyzing GFP+ cells, which could only result from heterozygous particles. (C) Experimental protocol for determining the effects of suppressing recombination on GFP titers and GFP+ provirus structures.
