Abelson murine leukemia virus: structural requirements for transforming gene function.

A Srinivasan, C Y Dunn, Y Yuasa

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |September 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) transformation requires specific viral genetic sequences. Only the proximal 40% of the abl gene, with associated 5' helper viral sequences, is essential for fibroblast transformation.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Virology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) is an oncogenic retrovirus.
    • Understanding the genetic basis of viral transformation is crucial for identifying oncogenic mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the specific viral genetic sequences of A-MuLV essential for fibroblast transformation.
    • To delineate the minimal genetic requirements for A-MuLV-induced oncogenesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Cloning of the integrated A-MuLV genome in bacteriophage lambda gtWES.lambda B.
    • Construction and biological activity assessment of subgenomic A-MuLV DNA fragments.
    • Analysis of viral protein expression and associated kinase activity in transformed cells.

    Main Results:

    • Subgenomic clones lacking the 5' long terminal repeat were inactive.
    • Subgenomic clones lacking the 3' long terminal repeat and up to 1.3 kb of the abl gene retained transforming activity.
    • The proximal 40% of the abl gene, along with 5' helper viral sequences, was sufficient for transformation.
    • A-MuLV-encoded P120 polyprotein and associated kinase activity were detected in transformants.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct genetic evidence confirms that a minimal region of the A-MuLV genome drives fibroblast transformation.
    • The identified abl gene region and associated sequences are critical for the oncogenic potential of A-MuLV.
