Frequent partial deletion of human adult T-cell leukemia virus type I proviruses in experimental transmission: pattern and possible implication.
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV I) propagated in human diploid fibroblast IMR90 was transmitted to human promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cells by coculture. Of 14 provirus-positive HL60 clones, five harbored only defective proviruses, five had defective proviruses in addition to full-sized HTLV I, and four had full-sized proviruses integrated in their chromosomes. The frequency of defective proviruses was unexpectedly high (41% of total proviruses). Analysis of the genomic structure of these defective proviruses revealed polarity of deletion, that is, preferred conservation of the 3' end of the proviral genome (pX and the 3' long terminal repeat). The implication of these findings are discussed with reference to the replication and pathogenesis of HTLV I.
