DNA sequences encoding the genomes of three subgroup E avian leukosis viruses have been molecularly cloned. Virus recovered from one of these cloned DNAs (pRAV-0) caused no osteopetrosis while virus recovered from the second (lambda NY203) caused late onset osteopetrosis and virus recovered from the third (lambda NTRE-2) caused intermediate onset osteopetrosis. Restriction endonuclease fragments of the cloned viral DNAs were used to construct recombinant viruses that could be used to test for the role of gag-pol-5'env and 3'env-LTR sequences in the induction of osteopetrosis. The results of the pathogenicity tests indicate that gag-pol-5'env sequences confer the ability to induce osteopetrosis while 3'env-LTR sequences influence the time of onset and the severity of osteopetrosis.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
