25. RAV1, a novel DNA-binding protein, binds to bipartite recognition sequence through two distinct DNA-binding domains uniquely found in higher plants.
We have cloned and characterized two novel DNA binding proteins designated RAV1 and RAV2 from Arabidopsis thaliana. RAV1 and RAV2 contain two distinct amino acid sequence domains found only in higher plant species. The N-terminal regions of RAV1 and RAV2 are homologous to the AP2 DNA-binding domain present in a family of transcription factors represented by

26. Structural protein markers in the avian oncoviruses.
The proteins of purified avian oncoviruses were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. Certain members of the avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses (ALSV) had group-specific antigens with altered electrophoretic properties. (i) The p27 protein of Rous-associated virus 0 (RAV-0) had a lower electrophoret

27. DNA in Uninfected and Virus-Infected Cells Complementary to Avian Tumor Virus RNA
The 70S RNA component of several avian tumor viruses was hybridized with DNA extracted from avian tumor virus-infected and uninfected chicken and Japanese quail cells. Tritium-labeled 70S RNAs from Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), Rous associated virus-1 (RAV-1), RAV-60, and Schmidt-Ruppin-RSV (SR-RSV) hybridize from 3 to 10 times more with DNA from uninfected chic

28. Specificity of avian leukosis virus-induced hyperlipidemia.
Rous-associated virus 7 (RAV-7) is a subgroup C avian leukosis virus which does not transform cells in vitro or carry an oncogene. When injected into 1-day-old hatched chicks, RAV-7 causes a low incidence of lymphoid leukosis after a latent period of several months. In contrast, infection of 10-day-old chicken embryos with RAV-7 leads to a disease syndrome c

29. Nucleotide Sequences Derived from Pheasant DNA in the Genome of Recombinant Avian Leukosis Viruses with Subgroup F Specificity
Recombination between viral and cellular genes can give rise to new strains of retroviruses. For example, Rous-associated virus 61 (RAV-61) is a recombinant between the Bryan high-titer strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and normal pheasant DNA. Nucleic acid hybridization techniques were used to study the genome of RAV-61 and another RAV with subgroup F spec

30. Molecular and biological properties of c-mil transducing retroviruses generated during passage of Rous-associated virus type 1 in chicken neuroretina cells.
IC1, IC2, and IC3 are novel c-mil transducing retroviruses generated during serial passaging of Rous-associated virus type 1 (RAV-1) in chicken embryo neuroretina cells. They were isolated by their ability to induce proliferation of these nondividing cells. IC2 and IC3 were generated during early passages of RAV-1 in neuroretina cells, whereas IC1 was isolat

31. Sequence of the Long Terminal Repeat and Adjacent Segments of the Endogenous Avian Virus Rous-Associated Virus 0
Rous-associated virus 0 (RAV-0), an endogenous chicken virus, does not cause disease when inoculated into susceptible domestic chickens. An infectious unintegrated circular RAV-0 DNA was molecularly cloned, and the sequence of the long terminal repeat (LTR) and adjacent segments was determined. The sequence of the LTR was found to be very similar to that of

32. Enhancer activity correlates with the oncogenic potential of avian retroviruses.
Avian retroviruses lacking an oncogene, such as Rous-associated virus 1 (RAV-1), RAV-2, and td mutants of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), can nevertheless cause leukemias and other neoplastic diseases. During this process, viral DNA integrates near a cellular proto-oncogene, such as c-myc, and thus de-regulates its expression. The virus RAV-0, on the other hand, i

33. Relationship of Reticuloendotheliosis Virus to the Avian Tumor Viruses: Nucleic Acid and Polypeptide Composition
The RNA content and polypeptide composition of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) was compared to that of C-type RNA tumor viruses. Two RNA species with approximate sedimentation values of 64S and 4S were observed after sucrose gradient centrifugation of RNA extracted from purified REV. The high-molecular-weight RNA species of REV sedimented slightly faster t

34. Selective shedding and congenital transmission of endogenous avian leukosis viruses.
Shedding and congenital transmission of endogenous avian leukosis viruses were studied in viremic White Leghorn hens exogenously infected with viruses with endogenous long terminal repeats (LTRs) and in four semicongenic lines of hens that naturally express infectious endogenous viruses (EVs). Relatively high titers of infectious virus EV7 (encoded at locus

35. Retroviral insertional activation of the c-myb proto-oncogene in a Marek's disease T-lymphoma cell line.
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an avian herpesvirus that causes, in chickens, a lymphoproliferative disease characterized by malignant transformation of T lymphocytes. The rapid onset of polyclonal tumors indicates the existence of MDV-encoded oncogenic products. However, the molecular basis of MDV-induced lymphoproliferative disease and latency remains larg

36. Long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences, env, and a region near the 5' LTR influence the pathogenic potential of recombinants between Rous-associated virus types 0 and 1.
A series of recombinants between Rous-associated virus type 0 (RAV-0), RAV-1, and a replication-competent avian leukosis virus vector (RCAN) have been tested for disease potential in day-old inoculated K28 chicks. RAV-0 is a benign virus, whereas RAV-1 and RCAN induce lymphoma and a low incidence of a variety of other neoplasms. The results of the oncogenici
