Evolution of Sindbis Virus with a Low-Methionine-Resistant Phenotype Is Dependent Both on a Pre-Existing Mutation and on the Methionine Concentration in the Medium
SVlm21 is a mutant of Sindbis virus which was isolated by serial passage of virus in mosquito cells maintained in low-methionine medium; it therefore has a low-methionine-resistant (LMR) phenotype. This phenotype requires mutations at nts 319 and 321; these mutations result in Arg to Leu and Ser to...
