FBR murine osteosarcoma virus. II. Nucleotide sequence of the provirus reveals that the genome contains sequences acquired from two cellular genes.
The complete nucleotide sequence of the FBR proviral DNA has been determined. The provirus of 3791 nucleotides (specifying a genome of 3284 bases) encodes a single gag- fos fusion product of 554 amino acids. The fos portion of the gene lacks the sequences which code for the first 24 and the last 98 amino acids of the 380-amino acid mouse c- fos gene product. In addition, the coding region has sustained three in-frame deletions, one in the p30gag portion, and two in the fos region, as compared to the sequences of AKR-MLV and the c- fos gene, respectively. The gene product terminates in sequences, termed v-fox, that are present in uninfected mouse DNA at loci unrelated to the c- fos gene. The c-fox gene(s) is expressed as an abundant class of polyadenylated RNA in normal mouse tissues.
