abstract

  • The gene order of the ml Moloney sarcoma virus (mlMSV) specific pP60gag (P60) was determined by direct chemical analysis of the polyprotein. P60 was cleaved with cyanogen bromide (CNBr) into eight partial and complete fragments ranging in mass from 10,000 daltons to 58,000 daltons. Peptide maps of these fragments were compared to maps of p15, p12, and three CNBr fragments of p30. The polarity of p15 and p12 in a CNBr fragment of P60 was determined by carboxypeptidase A digestion; likewise the CNBr fragments of p30 were ordered by aminopeptidase digestion. The linear arrangement of P60 CNBr fragments gave the gene order of NH2-p15-p12-p30-COOH. The m3 isolate of MSV expresses a P70 gag polyprotein. Peptide maps of 48,000-dalton CNBr fragments of m3 P70 and ml P60 were similar and suggested that both polyproteins were similar through the NH2-terminal two-thirds of p30. However, the presence of peptides unique to the 10,500-dalton COOH-terminal fragment of m1MSV p30 and not present in the p30 of either m3MSV or Moloney leukemia virus suggested that the gag gene deletion in the m1 isolate begins in the p30 reading frame.
