Silent Mutations Compensate for Replication Block of D67N/K70RTo address a possible mechanism by which the silent mutations at codons 65 and 66 in the HIV-1 RT gene might affect virus replication, we assessed the ability of recombinant HIV-1 RT that was WT or contained the TAMs D67N, K70R, T215F and K219Q (TAM67 RT) to copy RNA templates that spanned codons 62 to 77 in RT and included different combinations of mutations at codons 65 (AAA, AGA, AAG), 66 (AAA, AAG), 67 (GAC, AAC) and 70 (AAA, AGA).
