RESUMO
Two flat revertants have been isolated from mutagen-treated populations of Kirsten murine sarcoma virus (Ki-MuSV)-transformed NIH/3T3 cells. These revertants, which appear to be cellular variants resistant to transformation by the Ki-MuSV oncogene v-Ki-ras, contain Ki-MuSV-specific DNA, elevated levels of the v-Ki-ras gene product p21, and rescuable transforming virus. Cell hybridization studies indicated that the revertant phenotype is dominant in hybrids between revertant cells and cells transformed by Ki-MuSV or the closely related Harvey MuSV and BALB MuSV. Analysis of hybrid cells resulting from the fusion of these revertants to cell lines transformed by other retroviruses showed that the action of certain oncogenes structurally unrelated to v-Ki-ras also could be suppressed. Thus, there appear to be functional relationships and diversities among transforming genes (oncogenes) not readily apparent from their structural characteristics.
