1. A method for producing an AAV in an insect cell, comprising:
(a) culturing an insect cell comprising a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence comprising an open reading frame, wherein the reading frame in 5′ to 3′ order consists of:
(i) a first codon, which is a suboptimal translation initiation codon selected from the group consisting of CTG and ACG;
(ii) a second codon encoding an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of alanine, glycine, valine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid; and
(iii) a sequence encoding wild-type adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 5 capsid proteins, wherein the sequence lacks only the wild-type VP1 translation initiation codon,
(b) recovering of the AAV.
