Presence of actin in oncornaviruses. 1984

L Stanislawsky, and F Mongiat, and V Moura Neto

A 43K protein present in avian myeloblastosis virus has been identified as actin by 2D gel electrophoresis and peptide mapping proteolysis. Electron microscopy of chicken embryo fibroblasts infected with different pseudotypes of oncornaviruses treated with anti-actin antibody showed positive staining at the level of the virions especially on buds. Our results indicate that this actin is unlikely to have been artefactually absorbed at the virion surface during its preparation. It may therefore play a possible role in the budding of enveloped virions.

D010446 Peptide Fragments Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques. Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
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
D004591 Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis in which a polyacrylamide gel is used as the diffusion medium. Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis,SDS-PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGE,Gel Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide,SDS PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGEs
D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia

D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES). Leukemogenic Viruses,Leukoviruses,Oncornaviruses,Oncovirinae,Oncoviruses,Oncoviruses, Type C,RNA Tumor Viruses,Retroviruses,Type C Oncoviruses,C Oncovirus, Type,C Oncoviruses, Type,Leukemogenic Virus,Leukovirus,Oncornavirus,Oncovirus,Oncovirus, Type C,RNA Tumor Virus,Retrovirus,Tumor Virus, RNA,Tumor Viruses, RNA,Type C Oncovirus,Virus, Leukemogenic,Virus, RNA Tumor,Viruses, Leukemogenic,Viruses, RNA Tumor
