Studies on the nucleic acid sequences of Kirsten sarcoma virus: a model for formation of a mammalian RNA-containing sarcoma virus

E M Scolnick et al. J Virol. 1973 Sep.

Abstract

The genetic information contained in the Kirsten and Moloney strains of mammalian RNA-containing sarcoma viruses has been analyzed by RNA . (3)H-DNA hybridization. Kirsten sarcoma virus has been found to possess two distinct sets of nucleic acid sequences. One set of sequences is contained in murine type C helper virus, and the other set is contained in rat type C helper virus. Moloney sarcoma virus contains sequences of murine type C helper virus but not of rat type C helper virus. The results indicate that Kirsten sarcoma virus arose through a process of recombination between Kirsten murine leukemia virus and nucleic acid sequences found in rat cells. A model is suggested for the formation of transforming type C viruses involving the transduction of oncogenic information.
