Utilization of mismatched initiator termini by avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase.

DNA synthesis by avian myeloblastosis virus was studied using poly(C) as template and modified oligo(dG) as primer. The addition of one noncomplementary base to the 3'-end of the primer has no important effect on synthesis. The mispaired base is incorporated into the product and the apparent Km (for primer) and the V of the reaction remain unchanged. This confirms the absence of a 3' leads to 5'-exodeoxynuclease activity using a template that is transcribed faithfully rather than one that can undergo a slippage reaction.

Partial purification and characterization of a ribonucleic acid N2-guanine methyltransferase associated with avian myeloblastosis virus.

A nucleic acid methylase, N2-guanine ribonucleic acid (RNA) methyltransferase, which is associated with type C RNA tumor viruses, has been purified from avian myeloblastosis virions by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, followed by chromatography on hydroxylapatite. The molecular weight estimated by gel filtration is 220 000, and the methylase activity has a pH optimum of 7.6--7.9. Magnesium and ammonium ions both stimulate activity 1.5-fold at 9.5 mM and 0.36 M, respectively, but apparently neither is essential for activity. Both daunomycin and adriamycin, antineoplastic drugs, also increase activity 1.5-fold at 1 mM. The enzyme was purified 120-fold from the virions and the activity is partially stabilized by dithiothretiol, but large losses were sustained during 24-h dialysis. The purified enzyme retains 75% of its activity on storage at -25 degrees C for 2 months in buffer containing 50% glycerol. Escherichia coli tRNAPhe and tRNAVal are preferred substrates with methylation occurring at position 10 of E. coli tRNAPhe.

Three new types of viral oncogene of cellular origin specific for haematopoietic cell transformation.

The RNAs of seven replication-defective leukaemia virus (DLV) strains contain three types of unique sequences, which correlate with the capacity of a given virus strain to transform erythroblasts, macrophage-like cells and myeloblasts, respectively. These sequences, termed erb, mac and myb, have their counterparts in the normal DNA of avian and mammalian species. Our results indicate that DLVs represent recombinants between a common 'vector' related to a chicken endogenous virus and one of three types of cellular gene possibly involved in haematopoietic differentiation.
