Comparison of promoter suppression in avian and murine retrovirus vectors.
Previously, we described "promoter suppression" in infectious retrovirus vectors with two genes and an internal promoter. Here, we examined several parameters of promoter suppression and found that the amount of suppression in an integrated retrovirus vector was dependent both on whether the vector was derived from spleen necrosis virus or murine leukemia virus and on which internal promoter wa...
متن کاملSequence and insertion sites of murine melanoma-associated retrovirus.
We previously showed that B16 melanoma cells produce ecotropic melanoma-associated retrovirus (MelARV) which encodes a melanoma-associated antigen recognized by MM2-9B6 monoclonal antibody. The biological significance of MelARV in melanoma formation remains unknown. We found that infection of normal melanocytes with MelARV resulted in malignant transformation. It is likely that MelARV emerged f...
متن کاملThymic lymphoma induction by the AKT8 murine retrovirus
The directly transforming murine retrovirus, AKT8, was isolated from a spontaneous AKR thymoma and carries the cell-derived viral oncogene, akt. We have now shown that this virus produces thymic lymphomas after inoculation of susceptible mouse strains. The presence of the AKT8 genome in the DNA of the virus-induced tumors was demonstrated by Southern blotting using an akt-specific probe. These ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel murine retrovirus mixture that facilitates hematopoiesis.
A new virus previously arose in BALB/c females mated repeatedly to C57BL/6 (B6) males and then injected with fixed, activated B6 male spleen cells (V. S. Ter-Grigorov, O. Krifuks, E. Liubashevsky, A. Nyska, Z. Trainin, and V. Toder, Nat. Med. 3:37-41, 1997). In the present study, BALB/cJ mice inoculated with virus-containing plasma from affected mice developed splenomegaly, which was caused by ...
متن کاملMurine Retrovirus Escapes from Murine APOBEC3 via Two Distinct Novel Mechanisms
APOBEC3G (A3G) is an antiretroviral host factor that functions by deaminating dC to dU in retroviral cDNA. HIV-1 Vif protein counteracts A3G via a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In the case of a simple retrovirus such as the murine leukemia virus (MLV), it remains unclear why it can replicate in cells expressing APOBEC3 (A3) even though it doesn't possess any accessory proteins such as Vif. In t...
