RESUMO
The cell-free synthesis of three major proteins from virion RNA of nondefective Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), but not from RNA of transformation-defective deletion mutants, has been observed. The apparent molecular weights of these transformation-specific proteins are approximately 60,000 (60K), 25K, and 17K. Tryptic maps of methionine-containing peptides revealed the 17K, 25K, and 60K proteins to be overlapping in sequence. However, only partial homology was observed between the 17K, 25K and 60K proteins synthesized from Schmidt-Ruppin strain, subgroup D, RSV RNA and those synthesized from Prague strain, subgroup B, RSV, RNA. About half of the methionine peptides in the Schmidt-Ruppin strain, subgroup D, 60K protein were shared with the Prague strain, subgroup D, 60K protein, and the rest were distinct to each. The virion RNAs coding for the 60K, 25K, and 17K proteins were found to be polyadenylated and to sediment with maximal mRNA activity at about 23, 19 to 20, and 18S, respectively. In addition, transformation-specific proteins with molecular weights of 39K and 33K were observed by in vitro synthesis. These proteins are also related to the 60K, 25K, and 17K proteins and were synthesized from polyadenylated RSV RNA of approximately 21 to 22S. RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides were analyzed in parallel, and the src-specific oligonucleotides were found to be first present in equimolar amounts in those gradient fractions sedimenting at 21 to 22S. Our data suggest that synthesis of the 60K protein is initiated near the 5' terminus of the src gene, whereas the 39K, 33K, 25K, and 17K proteins are initiated internally in the src gene. All of these proteins appear to be initiated independently, but they may have a common termination site.
