Characterization of the FBR-murine osteosarcoma virus complex: FBR-MuSV encodes a FOS-derived oncogene. 1984

L Michiels, and J R Maisin, and F S Pedersen, and J Merregaert

The FBR murine osteosarcoma virus complex, isolated from a radiation-induced osteosarcoma of an X/Gf mouse causes the rapid appearance of osteosarcomas in newborn mice and transforms fibroblasts in vitro. The two components of the FBR-viral complex have been isolated separately in tissue culture: FBR-MuLV by end-point dilution and FBR-MuSV by the establishment of mouse [FBR-NP 117 (NIH 3T3)] and rat non-producer cell lines [FBR-NP415 (REF)]. The host range and RNase Tl fingerprint analysis of FBR-MuLV demonstrated a pattern closely related to, but distinguishable from, Akv-MuLV. Transformed cells from both mice and rats contain a rescuable FBR-MuSV genome. These pseudotypes produce foci in tissue culture and induce osteosarcomas in susceptible mouse strains. An FBR-MuSV (FBR-MuLV) cDNA probe detects a 5.2 kb HindIII and a 9.5 kb EcoRI FBR-MuSV-specific fragment in FBR-MuSV-transformed non-producer rat cells. The same fragments hybridized with a fos specific probe, demonstrating that FBR-provirus contains a c-fos-derived onc-gene.

D009053 Sarcoma Viruses, Murine A group of replication-defective viruses, in the genus GAMMARETROVIRUS, which are capable of transforming cells, but which replicate and produce tumors only in the presence of Murine leukemia viruses (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE).

D009857 Oncogenes Genes whose gain-of-function alterations lead to NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION. They include, for example, genes for activators or stimulators of CELL PROLIFERATION such as growth factors, growth factor receptors, protein kinases, signal transducers, nuclear phosphoproteins, and transcription factors. A prefix of "v-" before oncogene symbols indicates oncogenes captured and transmitted by RETROVIRUSES; the prefix "c-" before the gene symbol of an oncogene indicates it is the cellular homolog (PROTO-ONCOGENES) of a v-oncogene.

It is induced by infection with a transforming virus. Transformation, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformation,Cell Transformations, Viral,Transformations, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformations
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.
