Separation of DNA sequences complementary to the RNA of avian myeloblastosis virus from chicken DNA by alkaline cesium chloride density sedimentation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 distribution of the DNA sequences complementary to the viral RNA. This technique could be employed as a step towards the isolation of DNA copies of the entire viral RNA genome from the mass of host cellular DNA.

Integrated state of oncornavirus DNA in normal chicken cells and in cells transformed by avian myeloblastosis virus.
The covalent linkage of oncornavirus-specific DNA to chicken DNA was investigated in normal chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) and in virus-producing leukemic cells transformed by avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV). The virus-specific sequences present in cellular DNA fractionated by different methods were detected by DNA-RNA hybridization by using 70S AMV RNA as a probe. In CEF and in leukemic cel...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a virus-specific ribonucleoprotein complex from reticuloendotheliosis virus-transformed chicken bone marrow cells.
Chicken bone marrow cells transformed by reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) produce in the cytoplasm a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex which has a sedimentation value of approximately 80 to 100S and a density of 1.23 g/cm3. This RNP complex is not derived from the mature virion. An endogenous RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity is associated with the RNP complex. The enzyme activity was complet...
متن کاملQuantitative determination and location of newly synthesized virus-specific ribonucleic acid in chicken cells infected with Rous sarcoma virus.
A sensitive and quantitative nucleic acid hybridization assay for the detection of radioactively labeled avian tumor virus-specific RNA in infected chicken cells has been developed. In our experiments we made use of the fact that DNA synthesized by virions of avian myeloblastosis virus in the presence of actinomycin D (AMV DNA) is complementary to at least 35% of the sequences of 70S RNA from t...
متن کاملOn the fidelity of DNA replication. Characterization of polynucleotides with errors in base-pairing synthesized by avian myeloblastosis virus deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase.
Polynucleotide templates were copied by avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase ("reverse transcriptase") and the frequency and distribution of errors were determined. The error rate with [r(pA)2500-d(pT)12-18] template-initiator under a variety of conditions was approximately 1/600, i.e. one incorrect dCMP incorporated for 600 correct dTMP polymerized. Addition of the metal chelator o-phenan...

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 ...
