Avian sarcoma virus gag-fps and gag-yes transforming proteins are not myristylated or palmitylated.
The transforming proteins of several avian sarcoma viruses were examined for evidence of covalently attached fatty acids. While the product of the viral src gene could be readily labeled biosynthetically with [3H]myristic acid, the gag-onc transforming proteins of Fujinami sarcoma virus, PRCII, PRCIIp, and Y73 avian sarcoma viruses were not readily labeled with either [3H]myristate or [3H]palmitate. Thus, avian gag-onc proteins appear to lack modifications shared by mammalian gag and gag-onc proteins, and the products of the oncogenes src, tck, and ras.
