Harvey sarcoma virus: a second murine type C sarcoma virus with rat genetic information.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nucleic acid sequences found in the Harvey strain of murine sarcoma virus have been analyzed by RNA.[(3)H]DNA and [(3)H]RNA.DNA hybridization techniques. The Harvey strain of murine sarcoma virus has been found to possess at least two sets of nucleic acid sequences. One set of sequences is contained in the Moloney strain of mouse type-C virus, and the other set is contained in DNA transcripts synthesized in endogenous reactions containing rat type-C virus(es). The nucleic acid sequences that are detected in the Harvey sarcoma virus with the DNA probes synthesized from the rat type-C virus(es) are related to the rat sequences detected in the Kirsten strain of murine sarcoma virus. The results support the model that both Kirsten and Harvey sarcoma viruses arose through a process of recombination or reassortment between mouse type-C viruses and sequences in rat cells and suggest that the information for transformation of fibroblasts may be contained in the rat type-C or cellular genome.

Molecular cloning, genomic analysis, and biological properties of rat leukemia virus and the onc sequences of Rasheed rat sarcoma virus.
Rasheed rat sarcoma virus (RaSV) has been shown to code for a protein of 29,000 Mr not present in replication-competent rat type C helper virus (RaLV)-infected cells. This protein is a fused gene product consisting of a portion of the RaLV p15 gag protein and the transformation-specific 21,000 Mr (p21) ras protein, which is also found in Harvey murine sarcoma virus. We now report the molecular ...

The activation of the cHa-ras oncogene in the EJ/T24 bladder carcinoma cell line was compared with the activation of the same gene in the rat-derived Harvey murine sarcoma virus. The results indicate that, like the human oncogene, the Harvey murine sarcoma virus-borne ras gene owes its oncogenic capacity to point mutations in coding sequences rather than to the alteration in transcriptional con...

Defective Kirsten murine sarcoma virus was present as leukemia virus pseudotype [Ki-MSV(MLV)] in a 10- to 100-fold excess over its helper, Kirsten murine leukemia virus (Ki-MLV), when the two viruses were propagated in an NRK rat cell line. The s(omega,20) of the fastsedimenting RNA complex of Ki-MLV and of Ki-MSV-(MLV) was 62 S and 55 S, respectively. Gel electrophoresis in buffered aqueous or...

A rat type C virus spontaneously activated from the NRK (normal rat kidney) cell line was found to have two major size classes of viral RNA subunits sedimenting at 35 and 30 S. Virus-producing cells contained both RNA species, while normal "virus-free" rat cells contained primarily virus-specific 30S RNA species. A DNA transcript, specific for Kirsten sarcoma virus, prepared from virus activate...
