Murine leukemia virus: detection of unintegrated double-stranded DNA forms of the provirus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infection of JLS V-9 (mouse bone marrow) cells with Moloney murine leukemia virus leads to appearance of virus-specific DNA in the low molecular weight DNA fraction from infected cells. Most of this DNA is double-stranded. Two discrete forms of double-stranded DNA, both of molecular weight 6 times 10-6, have been characterized. One of these forms is closed-circular, supercoiled DNA; the other form is a mixture of nicked-circular and linear DNA.

Histones Are Rapidly Loaded onto Unintegrated Retroviral DNAs Soon after Nuclear Entry.
Chromosomal structure of nuclear DNA is usually maintained by insertion of nucleosomes into preexisting chromatin, both on newly synthesized DNA at replication forks and at sites of DNA damage. But during retrovirus infection, a histone-free DNA copy of the viral genome is synthesized that must be loaded with nucleosomes de novo. Here, we show that core histones are rapidly loaded onto unintegr...
متن کاملThe "sarcoma-specific" region of Moloney murine sarcoma virus 124.
Labeled, purified 30S RNA from Moloney murine sarcoma virus was annealed to an excess of Moloney murine leukemia virus complementary DNA. Upon treatment of the resulting DNA.RNA hybrids with RNase H followed by sucrose gradient sedimentation, and undigested 18S RNA molecule was recovered. This RNA molecule was shown to represent the "sarcoma-specific" region of the virus. The unintegrated linea...

A restriction site map has been deduced of unintegrated and integrated FeLV viral DNA found in human RD cells after experimental infection with the Gardner-Arnstein strain of FeLV. Restriction fragments were ordered by single and double enzyme digests followed by Southern transfer (1) and hybridization with 32P-labeled viral cDNA probes. The restriction map was oriented with respect to the 5' a...

Premature termination products of reverse transcription that consist physically of viral minus-sense single-stranded DNA that is shorter than one long terminal repeat and partial DNA duplexes are dramatically increased in the central nervous system (CNS) of FVB/N mice that are infected by ts1, a temperature-sensitive mutant of Moloney murine leukemia virus. Due to their migration in agarose gel...
متن کاملRetroviral Replication
The retroviruses (the taxonomic family Retroviridae) comprise isolates of vertebrates, but elements with hallmarks of retroviruses are also found elsewhere, e.g. in insects. Retroviruses exemplify a variety of specialized interactions with their hosts, including induction of many kinds of diseases under laboratory conditions as well as in domestic and wild animals. In contrast to this variation...
