Rous sarcoma virus genome is terminally redundant: the 5' sequence.
When Rous sarcoma virus RNA is transcribed into DNA by the reverse transcriptase, a tRNA primer is elongated into DNA. The primer is near the 5' end of the virus genome; the first major DNA made is a "run-off" product extending 101 bases from the primer to the 5' end of the template. We have studied this DNA molecule to determine the sequence of the first 101 bases at the 5' end of the Rous sar...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of v-fps in the PRCII strain of avian sarcoma virus.
PRCII is an avian retrovirus whose oncogene (v-fps) induces fibrosarcomas in birds. The viral gene v-fps arose by transduction of an undetermined portion of a cellular gene known as c-fps. PRCII is weakly oncogenic when compared with Fujinami sarcoma virus, another transforming virus containing v-fps. As a first step in the elucidation of the molecular basis for the decreased virulence of PRCII...
متن کاملThe nucleotide sequence at the 5'-terminus of the Q RNA minus trand.
The sequence of the first 52 nucleotides at the 5'-end of the Qbeta minus strand has been determined and found to be complementary in an antiparallel fashion to the 3'-terminal region of the Qbeta plus strand. There are few similarities between the corresponding sequences of Qbeta plus and minus strands; however, both have a hydrogen-bonded loop close to the 5'-end. The sequence of the 3'-termi...
متن کاملThe nucleotide sequence complexity of avian tumor virus RNA.
The nucleotide sequence complexity of 60-70S RNA of Rous sarcoma virus was determined from the molar yields of 11 pure oligonucleotides of known chain length, obtained from [(32)P]RNA of Rous sarcoma virus by T1 RNase digestion and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We calculate an apparent chain length of about 9800 nucleotides, corresponding to a molecular weight of 3.4 x 10(...
متن کاملTerminally repeated sequences in the avian sarcoma virus RNA genome.
The initiation of DNA synthesis in vitro by RNA-directed DNA polymerase (deoxynucleosidetriphosphate: DNA deoxynucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.7) of avian oncornaviruses requires a tRNAtrp primer molecule located close to the 5' end of the viral RNA genome. DNA transcripts, 100 nucleotides in length, initiated on the tRNAtrp primer molecule contain nucleotide sequences complementary to a large...
