چکیده

These results show that primary chick embryo cells in culture release a particle bound RNA dependent DNA polymerase into the culture fluid. The enzyme is also found in the allantoic fluid of embryonated chicken eggs. This phenomenon is not restricted to the chicken system because primary quail embryo cells which are not known to express the so far known endogenous viruses release a particle bound RNA dependent DNA polymerase as well. In both cases this enzymes may be part of an hitherto unknown endogenous viral system. However, since the expression of the chicken- and quail-enzyme goes through a sharp peak during embryogenesis one may speculate on a physiological role for the newly described enzymes during development.

Nucleic acid polymerases of the developing chicken embryo: a DNA polymerase preferring a hybrid template.

This paper presents a preliminary survey of the nucleic acid polymerases of the developing chicken embryo, especially of the 4-day stage. The predominant activity is that of a DNA polymerase preferring a DNA-RNA hybrid as the template. The enzyme, which is activated by Mn(2+) ions and inhibited by p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonate, copies preferentially the ribo strand of a hybrid, such as poly(rA...

Homology between avian oncornavirus RNAs and DNA from several avian species.

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 ...

Reticuloendotheliosis virus nucleic acid sequences in cellular DNA.

Reticuloendotheliosis virus 60S RNA labeled with (125)I, or reticuloendotheliosis virus complementary DNA labeled with (3)H, were hybridized to DNAs from infected chicken and pheasant cells. Most of the sequences of the viral RNA were found in the infected cell DNAs. The reticuloendotheliosis viruses, therefore, replicate through a DNA intermediate. The same labeled nucleic acids were hybridize...

Cell cycle-dependent activation of rous sarcoma virus-infected stationary chicken cells: avian leukosis virus group-specific antigens and ribonucleic acid.

Stationary chicken embryo fibroblasts exposed to Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) remained stably infected for at least 5 days, but they did not release infectious virus or become transformed until after cell division. These infected stationary cells did not contain avian leukosis virus group-specific antigens or ribonucleic acid (RNA) hybridizable to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) made by the RSV endogen...

Apparent DNA-binding protein specific for cells transformed by avian acute leukemia viruses.

An apparent DNA-binding protein is described that is specific for cells transformed by avian acute leukemia viruses. This protein cannot be demonstrated in cells transformed by any of the avian sarcoma viruses or in cells infected with nontransforming avian retroviruses. The protein also is not detectable in noninfected quail or chicken embryo primary cultures or in noninfected chicken hematopo...
