DNA in uninfected and virus-infected cells complementary to avian tumor virus RNA. 1971

P N Rosenthal, and H L Robinson, and W S Robinson, and T Hanafusa, and H Hanafusa

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 chicken cells than with DNA from Escherichia coli, calfthymus, or baby hamster kidney cells. After infection of chicken cells with RSV(RAV-1), SR-RSV, or RAV-2, the amount of 70S avian tumor virus [(3)H]RNA hybridized increases by 1.6 times. The specificity of the hybridization reaction was shown by the specific competition of 70S SR-RSV [(3)H]RNA with 70S RNA from RSV(RAV-1), and not with RNA from Sendai virus or chicken cells. There was no difference in the hybridization of 70S RNA from RSV (RAV-1), RAV-1, or RAV-60 with DNA either from chicken cells that contain RAV-60 in a nonreplicating form or from chicken cells that do not appear to contain RAV-60. These results indicate that both types of uninfected chicken cells contain DNA that is complementary to RNA from several avian tumor viruses and that the amount of complementary DNA increases in such cells after infection with an avian tumor virus. The RNAs of genetically different avian tumor viruses appear to have indistinguishable base sequences by this technique.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
