RESUMO
A DNA species with buoyant densities greater than mouse cellular DNA was found associated with intracytoplasmic A particles (CAP) isolated from mouse mammary tumor virus-infected mouse mammary tumors and mouse Leydig cell tumors which produce CAP but no complete mouse mammary tumor virus virions. This DNA species was absent in identically prepared tissue fractions from tumors which did not contain CAP. Treatment of CAP-associated DNA with pancreatic RNase A did not alter the buoyant density although a reduction in apparent molecular weight (broadening of the DNA band at equilibrium) was observed upon analytical equilibrium sedimentation in CsCl. The molecular weight of untreated CAP-associated DNA was estimated to range from 0.8 x 10(6) to 3.1 x 10(6). Base composition analysis showed CAP-DNA to possess an approximate guanine plus cytosine content of 38%. Ninety percent of CAP-associated DNA eluted as single-stranded molecules upon hydroxyapatite column chromatography, a characteristic that accounts in part for its higher buoyant density in neutral CsCl compared to native double-stranded mouse DNA. In two preparations, CAP-DNA had a sedimentation coefficient of 7 to 8S.
