Biosynthesis of Rauscher leukemia viral proteins

Biosynthesis of Rauscher leukemia viral proteins

R B Naso et al. Cell. 1975 Jan.

Abstract

Antisera to disrupted Rauscher leukemia virus (RLV) or to the purified Rauscher viral 30,000 dalton polypeptide were used to specifically precipitate newly snythetized intracellular viral polypeptides from extracts of infected NIH Swiss mouse cells (JLS-V16). Analysis by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PHAGE) of extracts from cells pulse-labeled for 10-20 min with 35 S-methionine showed that immune precipitates contained none of the nonglycosylated internal structural polypeptides of mature viruses. The major viral-specific polypeptides labeled in 10 min included polypeptides of 180,000, 140,000, 110,000, 80,000, and 60,000 daltons with minor polypeptides of 65,000, 50,000, and 40,000 daltons. Labeling the intracellular virus-specific polypeptides with 14C-glucosamine indicated that the 180,000, 110,000, 80,000, and 60,000 dalton polypeptides were gylcosylated, and all but the 110,000 dalton polypeptides are contained in the mature virions. Based on pulse-chase experiments, it appears that at least 3 of the large polypeptides (140,000, 65,000, and 50,000 daltons) are precursors to the three major internal structural polypeptides of the mature virions.
