| Abstract | Retroviral transduction of cellular nucleic acid sequences requires illegitimate RNA or DNA recombination. To test a model that postulates transduction via efficient illegitimate recombination during reverse transcription of viral and cellular RNAs, we have measured the ability of Harvey sarcoma viruses (HaSVs) with artificial 3' termini to recover a retroviral 3' terminus from helper Moloney virus (MoV) by illegitimate and homologous recombination. For this purpose, mouse NIH 3T3 cells were transformed with Harvey proviruses and then superinfected with MoV. The proviruses lacked the 3' long terminal repeat and an untranscribed region of the 5' long terminal repeat to prevent virus regeneration from input provirus. Only 0-11 focus-forming units of HaSV were generated upon MoV superinfection of 3 x 10(6) cells transformed by Harvey proviruses with MoV-unrelated termini. This low frequency is consistent with illegitimate DNA recombination via random Moloney provirus integration 3' of the transforming viral ras gene in the 10(6)-kilobase mouse genome. When portions of murine viral envelope (env) genes were attached 3' of ras, 10(2)-10(5) focus-forming units of HaSV were generated, depending on the extent of homology with env of MoV. These recombinants all contained HaSV-specific sequences 5' and MoV-specific sequences 3' of the common env homology. They were probably generated by recombination during reverse transcription rather than by recombination among either input or secondary proviruses, since (i) the yield of recombinants was reduced by a factor of 10 when the env sequence was flanked by splice signals and (ii) HaSV RNAs without retroviral 3' termini would be inadequate templates for provirus synthesis. We conclude that there is no efficient illegitimate recombination in retroviruses. In view of known precedents of illegitimate DNA recombination, the structure of known viral onc genes, and our evidence for illegitimate DNA recombination via provirus integration, we favor the DNA model of transduction over the RNA model. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
