We have isolated a molecular clone of the full-length integrated provirus of simian acquired immune deficiency syndrome retrovirus serotype 1 (SRV-1) from a fatal case of simian acquired immune deficiency syndrome in a juvenile rhesus macaque. An integrated SRV-1 provirus was cloned, sequenced, and found to contain four large open reading frames encoding gag-precursor protein, protease, polymerase, and envelope. The proviral clone was transfected into D17 canine osteosarcoma cells and found to produce infectious virus. A comparison of the sequences of this clone with a noninfectious clone showed 20 differences, resulting in 10 amino acid changes. Also, a cluster of exchanges, short insertions, and deletions in the 5' leader sequences resulted in extension of the tRNA(Lys) primer-binding site from 14 to 19 nucleotides. Virus isolated from transfected cells was shown to be infectious and pathogenic, resulting in disease that followed the same time course and mortality as disease induced by uncloned, in vitro cultivated virus isolated from diseased animals. These results unequivocally show that a type D retrovirus (SRV-1) causes a fatal immunosuppressive syndrome in rhesus monkeys.

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.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
