Proviral structure, chromosomal location, and expression of HERV-K-T47D, a novel human endogenous retrovirus derived from T47D particles.
We previously described that type B retrovirus-like particles released from the human mammary carcinoma cell line T47D are pseudotypes and package retroviral RNA of different origins (W. Seifarth, H. Skladny, F. Krieg-Schneider, A. Reichert, R. Hehlmann, and C. Leib-Mösch, J. Virol. 69:6408-6416, 1995). One preferentially packaged retroviral sequence, ERV-MLN, has now been used to isolate the c...
متن کاملHuman Endogenous Retrovirus (HERV)-R family in primates: Chromosomal location, gene expression, and evolution.
Hitherto, full-length endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-R has been located at human chromosome 7q11.2, and mRNA and envelope proteins have been detected in placenta and a variety of other cell types. In the present study, using a probe derived from the gorilla fosmid library, we detected the paralogous locus (7q31.3) of the HERV-R env gene in human chromosome 7q11.2, and also determined the chromoso...
متن کاملStructure and genomic organization of a novel human endogenous retrovirus family: HERV-K (HML-6).
Prototypic elements of a novel human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) family were identified and cloned from a human genomic library by the use of a pol fragment, HML-6, related to type A and type B retroviruses and class II HERVs. Out of 39 polhybridizing clones, five contained structures of full-length retroviral proviruses, with regions showing similarity to gag, pol and env, flanked by long ter...
متن کاملDetection of Human Endogenous Retrovirus K (HERV-K) Transcripts in Human Prostate Cancer Cell Lines
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are transcribed in many cancers including prostate cancer. Human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) of the HML2 subtype is the most recently integrated and most intact retrovirus in the human genome, with many of the viral genomes encoding full- or partial-length viral proteins. To assess transcripts of HERV-K in prostate cancer cell lines and identify the sp...
متن کاملA novel human nonviral retroposon derived from an endogenous retrovirus.
In a human genome, we found dispersed repetitive sequences homologous to part of a human endogenous retrovirus termed HERV-K which resembled mouse mammary tumor virus. For elucidation of their structure and organization, we cloned some of these sequences from a human gene library. The sequence common to the cloned DNA was ca. 630 base-pairs (bp) in length with an A-rich tail at the 3' end and w...
