Search for virus specific DNA sequences and viral particles in mitochondria of avian leukemic myeloblasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intracellular localization of the avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) genome was studied. Nuclear and mitochondrial DNAs from myeloblasts were examined by hybridization with 32P labeled AMV-RNA of high molecular weight for the presence of virus specific DNA sequences. Nuclear DNA (nDNA) from myeloblasts specifically hybridized with viral RNA, whereas purified closed circular mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) did not hybridize with viral RNA. It was therefore concluded that viral genome was present in nuclear DNA and not in mitochondrial DNA. Likewise, in normal chick cells, nDNA but not mtDNA hybridized with viral RNA.

Acquisition of new DNA sequences after infection of chicken cells with avian myeloblastosis virus.
DNA-RNA hybridization studies between 70S RNA from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) and an excess of DNA from (i) AMV-induced leukemic chicken myeloblasts or (ii) a mixture of normal and of congenitally infected K-137 chicken embryos producing avian leukosis viruses revealed the presence of fast- and slow-hybridizing virus-specific DNA sequences. However, the leukemic cells contained twice the ...
متن کاملSeparation of DNA sequences complementary to the RNA of avian myeloblastosis virus from chicken DNA by alkaline cesium chloride density sedimentation.
Density gradient sedimentation in alkaline cesium chloride of DNA from normal chicken embryos or leukemic myeloblasts fragmented to a size of 13S revealed that the DNA sequences complementary to 70S avian myeloblastosis virus RNA sedimented in the high guanine plus cytosine region ahead of the main peak of cellular DNA. When the DNA was fragmented into pieces of 6.6S there was a broader distrib...
متن کاملThe in vitro synthesis of avian myeloblastosis viral RNA sequences.
Isolated nuclei, prepared from myeloblasts of chicks infected with avian myeloblastosis virus, synthesize RNA sequences present in avian myeloblastosis viral RNA. These sequences are also formed during transcription of chromatin, isolated from myeloblasts, by DNA-dependent RNA polymerases purified from Escherichia coli or calfthymus. In the latter case, transcription is alpha-amanitin sensitive...

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 ...

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. H...
