RESUMO
We determined the sites of synthesis of avian sarcoma virus-specific proteins in infected chicken cells by immunoprecipitation of the products synthesized in vitro by free and membrane-bound polyribosomes; 85% of Pr76, the precursor of the viral internal structural proteins (group-specific antigens), was synthesized on free polyribosomes, and 15% was synthesized on membrane-bound polyribosomes. Pr92, the lycosylated precursor of the viral glycoproteins (gp85 and gp35), was synthesized exclusively on membrane-bound polyribomes, which is consistent with its role as a membrane protein. When we investigated the site of synthesis of pp60src, the product of the avian sarcoma virus src gene, we found that 90% was synthesized on free polyribosomes, whereas 10% was detected on membrane-bound polyribosomes. The implications of these results with respect to the subcellular location of pp60src are discussed.
