Mutation of a termination codon affects src initiation
S Hughes et al. Mol Cell Biol. 1984 Sep.
Abstract
The four Rous sarcoma virus messages gag, gag-pol, env, and src all derive from a full-length RNA precursor. All four messages contain the same 5' leader segment. Three of the messages, gag, gag-pol, and env, use an AUG present in this leader to initiate translation. The src AUG initiation codon lies 3' of the leader segment, 90 bases downstream of the gag initiation codon in the spliced src message. However, in the spliced src message a UGA termination codon lies between the gag AUG and the src AUG. All three codons are in the same reading frame. By using oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, the UGA termination codon has been converted to CGA. Cells infected with the mutant (called 1057 CGA) were spindle shaped, distinct from the rounded shape of cells infected with the parental Rous sarcoma virus. The mutant virus initiates src translation at the gag AUG, producing a 63,000-dalton src protein. We suggest that the wild-type src message produces two polypeptides, a very small (nine-amino acid) peptide that is initiated at the gag AUG and the 60,000-dalton src protein that is initiated at the src AUG.
