Certain chicken cells that do not spontaneously release virus particles have been shown to produce a subgroup E avian RNA tumor virus, Rous-associated virus 60 (RAV-60), after infection with viruses of other subgroups. The nucleic acids of RAV-60 were analyzed for sequence homologies with the viral nucleic acids contained in the uninfected cell and with those of RAV-2, the exogenous virus used for the preparation of this particular RAV-60 isolate. In addition, these nucleic acids were compared with those of RAV-0, an endogenous virus spontaneously released from line 100 chicken cells. RAV-60 appears to be intermediate between RAV-0 and RAV-2 in its genetic composition, based on the pattern of hybridization obtained with the nucleic acids of these viruses and on the melting profiles of the various hybrid combinations. Of the three viruses tested, RAV-0 appears to have the greatest sequence homology with the viral nucleic acids of the uninfected cell. Hybridization between RAV-60 3-H-labeled complementary DNA and either DNA or RNA from the uninfected cell indicates that RAV-60 contains some nucleic acid sequences which are not present in the cell. In addition, some RAV-60 sequences which hybridize with the cell nucleic acid contain significant amounts of mismatching, as indicated by the lower thermal stability of these hybrid duplexes. Hybrid formation between these partially homologous sequences was excluded under stringent annealing conditions. The data indicate that RAV-60 is a recombinant between exogenous and endogenous viral genes. 相似文献

The RNA content and polypeptide composition of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) was compared to that of C-type RNA tumor viruses. Two RNA species with approximate sedimentation values of 64S and 4S were observed after sucrose gradient centrifugation of RNA extracted from purified REV. The high-molecular-weight RNA species of REV sedimented slightly faster than that of the Bryan strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). Although these characteristics were consistent with those of other C-type RNA tumor viruses, significant differences were observed when the polypeptide composition of REV was compared with that of RSV possessing envelope determinants of Rous-associated virus RAV-2 and RAV-3. Five polypeptides of which two were glycosylated were resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The major nonglycosylated polypeptide of REV did not comigrate with that of RSV (RAV-2)-RSV(RAV-3). The majority of the group-specific antigen reactivity resides in this major nonglycosylated polypeptide of avian tumor viruses and comigrates when proteins of several avian tumor viruses are subjected to coelectrophoresis. This difference in the migration of the major polypeptide of REV and RSV(RAV-2)-RSV(RAV-3) may explain the absence of avian tumor virus group-specific antigen in REV. 相似文献

RNA sequence relatedness among avian RNA tumor virus genomes was analyzed by inhibition of DNA-RNA hybrid formation between 3H-labeled 35S viral RNA and an excess of leukemic or normal chicken cell DNA with increasing concentrations of unlabeled 35S viral RNA. The avian viruses tested were Rous associated virus (RAV)-3, avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), RAV-60, RAV-61, and B-77 sarcoma virus. Hybridization of 3H-labeled 35S AMV RNA with DNA from normal chicken cells was inhibited by unlabeled 35S RAV-0 RNA as effeciently (100%) as by unlabeled AMV RNA. Hybridization between 3H-labeled 35S AMV RNA and DNA from leukemic chicken myeloblasts induced by AMV was suppressed 100 and 68% by unlabeled 35S RNA from AMV and RAV-0, respectively. Hybridization between 3H-labeled RAV-0 and leukemic chicken myeloblast DNA was inhibited 100 and 67% by unlabeled 35S RNA from RAV-0 and AMV, respectively. It appears therefore that the AMV and RAV-0 genomes are 67 to 70% homologous and that AMV hybridizes to RAV-0 like sequences in normal chicken DNA. Hybridization between AMV RNA and leukemic chicken DNA was inhibited 40% by RNA from RAV-60 or RAV-61 and 50% by B-77 RNA. Hybridization between RAV-0 RNA and leukemic chicken DNA was inhibited 80% by RAV-60 or RAV-61 and 70% by B-77 RNA. Hybridization between 3H-labeled 35S RNA from RAV-60 or RAV-61 and leukemic chicken myeloblast DNA was reduced equally by RNA from RAV-60, RAV-61, AMV or RAV-0; this suggests that RNA from RAV-60 and RAV-61 hybridizes with virus-specific sequences in leukemic DNA which are shared by AMV, RAV-0, RAV-60, and RAV-61 RNA'S. Hybridization between 3H-labeled 35S RNA from RAV-61 and normal pheasant DNA was inhibited 100% by homologous viral RNA, 22 TO 26% BY RNA from AMV or RAV-0, and 30 to 33% by RNA from RAV-60 or B-77. Nearly complete inhibition of hybricization between RAV-0 RNA and leukemic chicken DNA by a mixture of AMV and B-77 35S RNAs indicates that the RNA sequences shared by B-77 virus and RAV-0. It appears that different avian RNA tumor virus genomes have from 50 to 80% homology in nucleotide sequences and that the degree of hybridization between normal chicken cell DNA and a given viral RNA can be predicted from the homology that exists between the viral RNA tested and RAV-0 RNA. 相似文献

The proteins of purified avian oncoviruses were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. Certain members of the avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses (ALSV) had group-specific antigens with altered electrophoretic properties. (i) The p27 protein of Rous-associated virus 0 (RAV-0) had a lower electrophoretic mobility in SDS gels and a lower isoelectric point than the p27 of other ALSV. (ii) The p19 proteins of RAV-1, RAV-2, and the Bryan high-titer strain of Rous sarcoma virus had higher mobilities in SDS gels than did the corresponding protein of other viruses. This altered electrophoretic mobility was correlated with specific differences in the tryptic peptides of radioiodinated p19s. (iii) The p15 protein of RAV-7 had a lower mobility in SDS gels than did the p15 of other ALSV. These markers were used in a study of the structural proteins of subgroup E RAV-60 produced after infection of chicken embryo cells by exogenous ALSV. Although exogenous group-specific protein markers could often be identified in the subgroup E isolates, one RAV-60 had a p27 that comigrated with the p27 of RAV-0. The p19s of two other RAV-60 isolates had electrophoretic properties that were different than those of p19s from either RAV-0 or the exogenous viruses. These results support the hypothesis that RAV-60 is generated by recombination between endogenous and exogenous oncoviruses and indicate that at least the p27 encoded by RAV-0 is closely related to a protein specified by endogenous viral information in chicken cells. 相似文献

Determining the activity of viral and cellular regulatory elements in B or T lymphoid cell lines would facilitate appropriate utilization of the regulatory sequences for gene transfer- and expression-dependent applications. We have compared the activity of the CMV, RSV and SV40 viral promoter/enhancers as well as the Vlambda1 cellular promoter, in three B cell lines (REH, SMS-SB, C3P), three T cell lines (CEM, Jurkat, ST-F10), and two non-lymphoid cell lines (K-562, HeLa) using the luciferase reporter gene. In B cell lines, the activity of the CMV promoter/enhancer construct was the highest ranging from 10- to 113-fold greater than that of SV40. In contrast, in T cell lines the RSV promoter/enhancer activity was 11-65-fold higher than that of SV40. The Vlambda1 promoter activity was close to that of SV40 promoter/enhancer in most of the cell lines tested. We conclude that CMV and RSV promoter/enhancers contain stronger regulatory elements than do the SV40 and Vlambda1 for expression of genes in lymphoid cell lines. 相似文献

Shedding and congenital transmission of endogenous avian leukosis viruses were studied in viremic White Leghorn hens exogenously infected with viruses with endogenous long terminal repeats (LTRs) and in four semicongenic lines of hens that naturally express infectious endogenous viruses (EVs). Relatively high titers of infectious virus EV7 (encoded at locus ev7), Rous-associated virus-0 (RAV-0), and recombinant 882/-16 RAV-0 were detected in blood cells and sera from exogenously infected hens, but marked differences were noted in the incidence of congenitally infected progeny. In enzyme immunoassays that detect viral group-specific antigen, little or no p27 was detected in albumens from dams infected with RAV-0. However, hatchmates infected with either EV7 or recombinant 882/-16 RAV-0, which was constructed with an RAV-0 LTR, shed high titers of p27. Similarly, semicongenic hens that expressed RAV-0 (EV2) (encoded at locus ev2) shed little or no p27 into albumens, but hens that harbored ev10, ev11, and ev12 shed high titers of p27. A slower electrophoretic mobility of p27, considered to be characteristic of EVs that are restricted in congenital transmission, was not associated with low levels of shedding or congenital transmission; p27 from other EVs and p27 from an avian leukosis virus field strain, all of which are shed at high levels, had mobilities identical to that of p27 from RAV-0. Although shedding and congenital transmission appear to be controlled by the viral genome, there was no correlation between low efficiency of shedding or congenital transmission and endogenous LTR or p27 sequences. 相似文献

RNA sequence relatedness among avian RNA tumor virus genomes was analyzed by inhibition of DNA-RNA hybrid formation between 3H-labeled 35S viral RNA and an excess of leukemic or normal chicken cell DNA with increasing concentrations of unlabeled 35S viral RNA. The avian viruses tested were Rous associated virus (RAV)-0, avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), RAV-60, RAV-61, and B-77 sarcoma virus. Hybridization of 3H-labeled 35S AMV RNA with DNA from normal chicken cells was inhibited by unlabeled 35S RAV-0 RNA as efficiently (100%) as by unlabeled AMV RNA. Hybridization between 3H-labeled 35S AMV RNA and DNA from leukemic chicken myeloblasts induced by AMV was suppressed 100 and 68% by unlabeled 35S RNA from AMV and RAV-0, respectively. Hybridization between 3H-labeled RAV-0 and leukemic chicken myeloblast DNA was inhibited 100 and 67% by unlabeled 35S RNA from RAV-0 and AMV, respectively. It appears therefore that the AMV and RAV-0 genomes are 67 to 70% homologous and that AMV hybridizes to RAV-0 like sequences in normal chicken DNA.

Hybridization between 3H-labeled 35S RNA from RAV-61 and normal pheasant DNA was inhibited 100% by homologous viral RNA, 22 to 26% by RNA from AMV or RAV-0, and 30 to 33% by RNA from RAV-60 or B-77. Nearly complete inhibition of hybridization between RAV-0 RNA and leukemic chicken DNA by a mixture of AMV and B-77 35S RNAs indicates that the RNA sequences shared by B-77 virus and RAV-0 are different from the sequences shared by AMV and RAV-0. It appears that different avian RNA tumor virus genomes have from 50 to 80% homology in nucleotide sequences and that the degree of hybridization between normal chicken cell DNA and a given viral RNA can be predicted from the homology that exists between the viral RNA tested and RAV-0 RNA. 相似文献

Recombination between viral and cellular genes can give rise to new strains of retroviruses. For example, Rous-associated virus 61 (RAV-61) is a recombinant between the Bryan high-titer strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and normal pheasant DNA. Nucleic acid hybridization techniques were used to study the genome of RAV-61 and another RAV with subgroup F specificity (RAV-F) obtained by passage of RSV-RAV-0 in cells from a ring-necked pheasant embryo. The nucleotide sequences acquired by these two independent isolates of RAV-F that were not shared with the parental virus comprised 20 to 25% of the RAV-F genomes and were indistinguishable by nucleic acid hybridization. (In addition, RAV-F genomes had another set of nucleotide sequences that were homologous to some pheasant nucleotide sequences and also were present in the parental viruses.) A specific complementary DNA, containing only nucleotide sequences complementary to those acquired by RAV-61 through recombination, was prepared. These nucleotide sequences were pheasant derived and were not present in the genomes of reticuloendotheliosis viruses, pheasant viruses, and avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses of subgroups A, B, C, D, and E. They were partially endogenous, however, to avian DNA other than pheasant. The fraction of these nucleotide sequences present in other avian DNAs generally paralleled the genetic relatedness of these avian species to pheasants. However, there was a high degree of homology between these pheasant nucleotide sequences and related nucleotide sequences in the DNA of normal chickens as indicated by the identical melting profiles of the respective hybrids. 相似文献

3H-labeled 35S RNA from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), Rous associated virus (RAV)-0, RAV-60, RAV-61, RAV-2, or B-77(w) was hybridized with an excess of cellular DNA from different avian species, i.e., normal or leukemic chickens, normal pheasants, turkeys, Japanese quails, or ducks. Approximately two to three copies of endogenous viral DNA were estimated to be present per diploid of normal chicken cell genome. In leukemic chicken myeloblasts induced by AMV, the number of viral sequences appeared to have doubled. The hybrids formed between viral RNA and DNA from leukemic chicken cells melted with a Tm 1 to 6 C higher than that of hybrids formed between viral RNA and normal chicken cell DNA. All of the viral RNAs tested, except RAV-61, hybridized the most with DNA from AMV-infected chicken cells, followed by DNA from normal chicken cells, and then pheasant DNA. RAV-61 RNA hybridized maximally (39%) with pheasant DNA, followed by DNA from leukemic (34%), and then normal (29%) chicken cells. All viral RNAs tested hybridized little with Japanese quail DNA (2 to 5%), turkey DNA (2 to 4%), or duck DNA (1%). DNA from normal chicken cells contained only 60 to 70% of the RAV-60 genetic information, and normal pheasant cells lacked some RAV-61 DNA sequences. RAV-60 and RAV-61 genomes were more homologous to the RAV-0 genome than to the genome of RAV-2, AMV, or B-77(s). RAV-60 and RAV-61 appear to be recombinants between endogenous and exogenous viruses. 相似文献

We used the sensitive gel electrophoresis DNA-binding assay and DNase I footprinting to detect at least two protein factors (EFI and EFII) that bound specifically to the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) enhancer in vitro. These factors were differentially extracted from quail cell nuclei, recognized different nucleotide sequences in the U3 region of the RSV long terminal repeat, and appeared to bind preferentially to opposite DNA strands as monitored by the DNase I protection assay. The EFI- and EFII-protected regions within U3 corresponded closely to sequences previously demonstrated by deletion mutagenesis to be required for enhancer activity, strongly suggesting a functional significance for these proteins. Only weak homologies between other enhancer consensus sequence motifs and the EFI and EFII recognition sites were observed, and other viral enhancers from simian virus 40 and Moloney murine sarcoma virus did not compete effectively with the RSV enhancer for binding either factor. 相似文献

A strong enhancer element is located within the long terminal repeats (LTRs) of exogenous, oncogenic avian retroviruses, such as Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and the avian leukosis viruses. The LTRs of a second class of avian retroviruses, the endogenous viruses (evs), lack detectable enhancer function, a property that correlates with major sequence differences between the LTRs of these two virus groups. Despite this lack of independent enhancer activity, we previously identified sequences in ev LTRs that were able to functionally replace essential enhancer domains from the RSV enhancer with which they share limited sequence similarity. To identify candidate enhancer domains in ev LTRs that are functionally equivalent to those in RSV LTRs, we analyzed and compared ev and RSV LTR-specific DNA-protein interactions. Using this approach, we identified two candidate enhancer domains and one deficiency in ev LTRs. One of the proposed ev enhancer domains was identified as a CArG box, a motif also found upstream of several muscle-specific genes, and as the core sequence of the c-fos serum response element. The RSV LTR contains two CArG motifs, one at a previously identified site and one identified in this report at the same relative location as the ev CArG motif. A second factor binding site that interacts with a heat-stable protein was also identified in ev LTRs and, contrary to previous suggestions, appears to be different from previously described exogenous virus enhancer binding proteins. Finally, a deficiency in factor binding was found within the one inverted CCAAT box in ev LTRs, affirming the importance of sequences that flank CCAAT motifs in factor binding and providing a candidate defect in the ev enhancer. 相似文献

Recombinant avian leukosis viruses have been constructed from the molecularly cloned DNAs of Rous-associated virus type 1 (RAV-1) and Rous-associated virus type 0(RAV-0). Virus encoded by the cloned RAV-1 DNA induced a high incidence of B-cell lymphoma and a moderate incidence of a variety of other neoplasms. Virus encoded by the cloned RAV-0 DNA did not cause disease. Virus recovered from DNA constructions that encoded the gag, pol, and 5' env sequences of RAV-0 and the 3' env and long terminal repeat sequences of RAV-1 did not cause a high incidence of lymphoma. Rather, these constructed viruses induced a low incidence of a variety of neoplasms. Virus recovered from reconstructed pRAV-1 DNA had the same disease potential as did virus recovered from the parental pRAV-1 DNA. These results indicate that the long terminal repeat sequences of RAV-1 do not confer the potential to induce a high incidence of B-cell lymphoma. 相似文献

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has become a very popular gene therapy vector in the past several years. A cis-plasmid is used to generate the rAAV stocks. In this plasmid, the entire expression cassette is incorporated between two AAV inverted terminal repeats. The construction of cis-plasmid has been problematic because of the high-frequency recombination of the viral inverted terminal repeats. Here we describe the design and construction of several multiple cloning site cis-plasmids that are driven by five different promoters, including the ubiquitous cytomegalovirus enhancer/chicken beta-actin (CAG), cytomegalovirus (CMV), rous sarcoma virus (RSV), simian virus 40 (SV40), and a muscle-specific promoter (CK6). The application of these multiple cloning site cis-plasmids improves the cloning efficiency. As an example of the utilization of these multiple cloning site vectors, the prokaryotic beta-galactosidase cDNA was cloned in the multiple cloning site cis-plasmids. High-level rAAV-mediated beta-galactosidase expression was achieved in HeLa cells from CAG, CMV, RSV and SV40 promoters, respectively, but notfrom the CK6 promoter. In vivo application in the adult mdx mouse (mouse model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy) muscle revealed efficient transgene expression from CMV and CK6 promoters, followed by CAG and RSV promoters. The SV40 promoter was the least efficient. 相似文献

Rous-associated virus 0 (RAV-0), an endogenous chicken virus, does not cause disease when inoculated into susceptible domestic chickens. An infectious unintegrated circular RAV-0 DNA was molecularly cloned, and the sequence of the long terminal repeat (LTR) and adjacent segments was determined. The sequence of the LTR was found to be very similar to that of replication-defective endogenous virus EV-1. Like the EV-1 LTR, the RAV-0 LTR is smaller (278 base pairs instead of 330) than the LTRs of the oncogenic members of the avian sarcoma virus-avian leukosis virus group. There is, however, significant homology. The most striking differences are in the U(3) region of the LTR, and in this region there are a series of small segments present in the oncogenic viruses which are absent in RAV-0. These differences in the U(3) region of the LTR could account for the differences in the oncogenic potential of RAV-0 and the avian leukosis viruses. I also compared the regions adjacent to the RAV-0 LTR with the available avian sarcoma virus sequences. A segment of approximately 200 bases to the right of the LTR (toward gag) is almost identical in RAV-0 and the Prague C strain of Rous sarcoma virus. The segment of RAV-0 which lies between the end of the env gene and U(3) is approximately 190 bases in length. Essentially this entire segment is present between env and src in the Schmidt-Ruppin A strain of Rous sarcoma virus. Most of this segment is also present between env and src in Prague C; however, in Prague C there is an apparent deletion of 40 bases in the region adjacent to env. In Schmidt-Ruppin A, but not in Prague C, about half of this segment is also present between src and the LTR. This arrangement has implications for the mechanism by which src was acquired. The region which encoded the gp37 portion of env appears to be very similar in RAV-0 and the Rous sarcoma viruses. However, differences at the very end of env imply that the carboxy termini of RAV-0, Schmidt-Ruppin A, and Prague C gp37s are significantly different. The implications of these observations are considered. 相似文献

A series of recombinants between Rous-associated virus type 0 (RAV-0), RAV-1, and a replication-competent avian leukosis virus vector (RCAN) have been tested for disease potential in day-old inoculated K28 chicks. RAV-0 is a benign virus, whereas RAV-1 and RCAN induce lymphoma and a low incidence of a variety of other neoplasms. The results of the oncogenicity tests indicate that (i) the long terminal repeat regions of RAV-1 and RCAN play a major role in disease potential, (ii) subgroup A envelope glycoproteins are associated with a two- to fourfold higher incidence of lymphoma than subgroup E glycoproteins, and (iii) certain combinations of 5' viral and env sequences cause osteopetrosis in a highly context-dependent manner. Long terminal repeat and env sequences appeared to influence lymphomogenic potential by determining the extent of bursal infection within the first 2 to 3 weeks of life. This would suggest that bursal but not postbursal stem cells are targets for avian leukosis virus-induced lymphomogenesis. The induction of neutralizing antibody had no obvious influence on the incidence of lymphoma. 相似文献

Chickens susceptible to infection with subgroup E viruses were inoculated with four independent isolates of Rous-associated virus type 60 (RAV-60) that are subgroup e recombinants of endogenous and exogenous virus. Neoplasms developed in each inoculated group. Therefore, nontransforming viruses of subgroup E can induce lymphoid leukosis at a moderate rate compared with RAV-0, a subgroup E endogenous virus, suggesting that oncogenicity is not a viral envelope (env)-related characteristic. Since the common (c) regions of the RAV-60s examined were of exogenous origin, we suggest that the c region rather than env is important for a high rate of induction of lymphoid leukosis and related neoplasms. 相似文献

We inoculated susceptible chicken embryos with the endogenous avian leukosis virus Rous-associated virus-0 (RAV-0) on day 6 of incubation. At 1 week after hatching, RAV-0-infected and control chickens were inoculated with either RAV-1 or RAV-2, exogenous viruses belonging to subgroups A and B, respectively. The chickens injected with RAV-0 as embryos remained viremic with exogenous virus longer and either failed to develop type-specific humoral immunity to exogenous virus or developed it later than the control chickens not inoculated with RAV-0. The RAV-0-injected chickens also developed neoplasms at a much higher frequency than did the control chickens. We suggest that the lower immune responses of the RAV-0-injected chickens were due to an immunological tolerance to envelope group-specific glycoproteins shared among endogenous and exogenous viruses. 相似文献
