TY - JOUR A1 - Schneider-Schaulies, Jürgen A1 - Schimpl, A. A1 - Wecker, E. T1 - Kinetics of cellular oncogene expression in mouse lymphocytes II. Regulation of c-fos and c-myc gene expression N2 - Newly isolated lymphocytes from mousespleensexpress the c-fos oncogene even in the absence of mitogen with maximal mRNA levels 60 min post preparation of single cell suspension, whereas c-myc mRNA Ievels increase only after mitogenic Stimulation with maximal mRNA Ievels 6 h post Stimulation. The half-lives of c-fos mRNA are generally very short; they increase from 14 min (after 30 min of culture) to 70 min (after 2 h of culture). The half-lives of c-myc mRNA decrease from 50 min (at 2 and 6 h post stimulation with concanavalin A) to 12 min (at 48 h post stimulation). The c-fos gene transcription is already tumed on in time-0 lymphocytes 10 min after disruption of the organ structure of the spleens and is down-regulated after 2 h and later. In nuclear run-on experiments with nonstimulated lymphocytes there is already significant transcription of the first exon of c-myc, but almost no elongation of the transcript to exon 2 and 3. In concanavalin A-treated lymphocytes elongation is stimulated about 5-fold within 6 h and returns to background levels at 48 h post Stimulation. · The nuclear run-on analyses of nonactivated lymphocytes showed a signal for RNA complementary to c-myc mRNA detected with a probe specific for the exon 1/intron 1 boundary of c-myc, which disappeared with increasing time of concanavalin A Stimulation. This anti-sense transcription may play a role in regulating the elongation of cmyc transcripts.

Blot hybridization revealed that one of the recoinbinant plasmids bad the characteristic features of a member of the long interspersed repetitive sequences famlly. The DNA element was analyzed by restrictioil mapping and nuelootide sequencing. It showed a high degree of amino acid sequence homology of 54.3% when conipared with the 5'-terminal part of the pol gelie product of the murine retrotransposon LIMd. The 3' region of the cloned DNA element encodes proteins witb an even higher degree of homology of 67.4% in comparison to the corresponding parts of a member of the primate Kpnl sequence family.

T1 - Molecular cloning of the genome of human spumaretrovirus N2 - DNA ofhuman spumaretrovirus (HSRV) was cloned from both cDNA and from viral DNA into phage A and bacterial plasmid vectors. The recombinant plasm.ids harboring viral DNA were characterized by Southern blot hybridization and restriction mapping. Physical maps were constructed from cDNA and found to be colinear with the restriction maps obtained from viral DNA. The recombinant clones isolated contained viral DNA inserts which rangein size from 2.2 kb to 15.4 kb. The recombinant clones allowed to construct a physical map of the complete HSRV provirus of 12.2 kb.

A1 - Rethwilm, Axel A1 - Maurer, Bernd A1 - Darai, Gholamreza T1 - Nucleotide sequence analysis of the env gene and its flanking regions of the human spumaretrovirus reveals two novel genes N2 - Recombinant clonesthat represent the 3' part ofthe genome of the human spumaretrovirus (foamy virus) were established from viral DNA and from DNA complementary to viral RNA. The recombinant clones were characterized by blot hybridizations and nucleotide sequence analysis. The deduced protein sequence of the clones at their 5' ends was found to be homologous to the 3' domain of retroviral reverse transcriptases. Downstream of a small intergerne pol-env region a long open reading frame of 985 amino acid residues was identified that according to its genomic location, size, glycosylation signals, and hydrophobicity protile closely resembles the lentiviral env genes. The spumaretroviral env gene is followed by two open reading frames, termed bel-l and bel-2 which are located between env and the long terminal repeat region. The long terminal repeat of 1259 nucleotides is preceded by a polypurine tract and contains the canonical signal sequences characteristic for transcriptional regulation of retroviruses. The provisional classitication of the spumaretrovirus subfamily is discussed.
