T1 oligonucleotide maps of N-, B-, and B leads to NB-tropic murine leukemia viruses derived from BALB/c.
We previously described and characterized RNase T1 RNA fingerprints of an N-, a B-, and five B leads to NB-tropic murine leukemia viruses derived from BALB/c mice (Faller and Hopkins, J. Virol. 23:188-195, 1977, and J. Virol. 24:609-617, 1977). These viruses share the majority of their large RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides, but each possesses some "unique" oligonucleotides relative to the others. We have ordered the large T1-resistant oligonucleotides of the N-, the B-, and one NB-tropic virus relative to the 3' end of their genomes to obtain oligonucleotide maps. These maps indicate that (i) the large T1 oligonucleotides shared by the N-, B-, and NB-tropic viruses probably occupy the same relative positions on their genomes; (ii) the 14 T1 oligonucleotides that differ between the N- and B-tropic viruses are derived from regions scattered along the genomes;  and (iii) an oligonucleotide that is present in five NB-tropic viruses but not in their B-tropic virus progenitors lies toward the 5' end of the NB-tropic virus oligonucleotide map.
