A variant clone of Snyder-Theilen feline sarcoma virus (ST-FeSV) encoding a polyprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 104 kDa (P104) was compared to the P85 encoding prototype clone of ST-FeSV. Analysis of chimeric genes constructed with the viral oncogenes of the two clones indicated that the variant clone coded for a larger polyprotein than the prototype clone because of genetic differences in its 3' portion. Comparative DNA sequence analysis revealed that one nucleotide just upstream of the termination condon TGA in the prototype proviral DNA was deleted from the variant clone resulting in a 468-bp larger open reading frame. Furthermore, it appeared that the U3 regions of the long terminal repeats (LTRs) of the variant clone contained an insertion of 71 bp as compared to the LTRs of the prototype clone. In addition, both clones differed also from each other with respect to genetic sequences deleted from their env gene regions.

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.

D005253 Sarcoma Viruses, Feline Species of GAMMARETROVIRUS isolated from fibrosarcoma in cats. The viruses are actually recombinant feline leukemia viruses (FeLV) where part of the genome has been replaced by cellular oncogenes. It is unique to individuals and not transmitted naturally to other cats. FeSVs are replication defective and require FeLV to reproduce.
