title: [Analysis of the sequence of the endogenous Djungarian hamster provirus (MRS-Ps) related to the murine mammary cancer virus].
abstract: The complete nucleotide sequence of the dwarf hamster endogenous retrovirus (MRS-Ps) related to the mouse mammary tumor virus is presented. MRS-Ps has a typical retroviral structure, it is 6980 bp long with LTRs of ca. 880 base pairs at both ends. LTRs carry the usual signals for transcription control. MRS-Ps genes had formerly coded for viral proteins (protease, revertase, and envelope proteins) but have been spoiled by numerous point mutations. Evolutionary relationships with other retroviruses are discussed on the basis of computer analysis of the MRS-Ps sequence.
