1. When ribonuclease T1 [EC 3.1.4.8] was treated with trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] at pH 7.5 and 37 degrees, activity was lost fairly slowly. At higher temperatures, however, the rate of inactivation was markedly accelerated. The half life of the activity was about 2.5 h at 50 degrees and 1 h at 60 degrees. 3'-GMP and guanosine protected the enzyme significantly from tryptic inactivation. 2. Upon tryptic digestion at 50 degrees, the Lys-Tyr (41-42) and Arg-Val (77-78) bonds were cleaved fairly specifically, yielding two peptide fragments. One was a 36 residue peptide comprizing residues 42 to 77. The other was a 68 residue peptide composed of two peptide chains cross-linked by a disulfide bond between half-cystines -6 and -103, comprizing residues 1 to 41 and 78 to 104. 3. When the trinitrophenylated enzyme, in which the alpha-amino group of alanine-1 and the episolone-amino group of lysine 41 were selectively modified, was treated with trypsin at 37 degrees, the activity was lost fairly rapidly with a half life of about 4 h. In this case, tryptic hydrolysis occurred fairly selectively at the single Arg-Val bond. Thus the enzyme could be inactivated by cleavage of a single peptide bond in the molecule, an indication of the importance of the peptide region involving the single arginine residue at position 77 in the activity of ribonuclease T1.

The abilities of purine- and pyrimidine-requiring mutants to produce six orthophosphate repressible extracellular enzymes, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, two nucleases and ribonuclease N1 were examined by culturing these mutants in low and high phosphate media containing nucleotide or nucleoside. All the purine requiring mutants produced significantly reduced amounts of alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline nuclease and acid nuclease ranging 0.5-4.2, 5.0-17.4, 25.0-100, 20.3-67.5 and 6.2-48.5%, respectively. Production of ribonuclease N1 was found to be rather stimulated (150-564%) in these mutants. Essentially the same results were obtained for pyrimidine requiring mutants. Among those mutants ad-2 and ad-9 showed relatively high enzyme producing activity. Especially the production of ribonuclease N1 in ad-2 and ad-9 ranged to 4.9- and 5.6-fold that in the wild type. Though nuc-1 mutant (A1) has no ability to produce all these six repressible enzymes, double mutants A1ad-2 and A1ad-9 produced a significant amount of ribonuclease N1 in low and high phosphate media and acid phosphatase in low phosphate media.

We used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to obtain fingerprints of RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides of a B-tropic murine leukemia virus from BALB/c and five NB-tropic viruses independently derived from this B virus by passage through NIH Swiss mouse embryo cells in vitro. The fingerprints of the B- and NB-tropic viruses were very similar: approximately 33 of 35 large T1-resistant oligonucleotides appeared to be shared by these viruses. However, the five NB-tropic viruses possessed an apparently common alteration relative to their B virus progenitor. This change involved the acquisition of one oligonucleotide and, tentatively, the loss of one oligonucleotide. We do not know whether these changes represent an alteration responsible for the change from B- to NB-tropism. Fingerprints of B- and NB-tropic viruses were not affected when the viruses were grown in cells of different Fv-1 type.

Techniques are described for the growth and rapid purification of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Purified IBV has a sedimentation coefficient of 320S and a buoyant density of 1.22 g/ml in sucrose-deuterium oxide equilibrium gradients. IBV RNA extracted by proteinase K in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and further purified by phenol extraction and gradient centrifugation is single stranded and has a sedimentation coefficient of 64S, as determined by isokinetic gradient centrifugation. Analysis on sucrose gradients under both aqueous and denaturing conditions together with agarose gel electrophoresis in the presence of the chaotropic agent methylmercuric hydroxide gave a value of 8 X 10(6) for the moleclar weight of IBV RNA. This value was confirmed by RNase T1 fingerprinting, which also indicated that IBV RNA is haploid. No evidence was found of subunit structure in IBV RNA. From these results together with the recently reported observation that IBV RNA is infectious and contains a tract of polyadenylic acid (Lomniczi, J. Gen. Virol., in press), we conclude that the genome of the coronaviruses is a single continuous chain of about 23,000 mononucleotides that is of messenger polarity.

We used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to obtain fingerprints of 32P-labeled RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides derived from the genomes of an N- and a B-tropic murine leukemia virus of BALB/c. These viruses share approximately 30 large T1-resistant oligonucleotides. In addition, there are eight large oligonucleotides unique to the N-tropic virus, and there are six B-trophic virus-specific oligonucleotides. Viruses, designated XLP-N, which appear by biological criteria and analysis of virion proteins to be recombinants between these N- and B-tropic viruses, possess some but not all of the N or B virus-specific oligonucleotides.

We used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to obtain fingerprints of RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides derived from the genomes of Akv-1 and Akv-2 type C viruses of AKR mice. The fingerprints of these two viruses look identical. The products of pancreatic RNase digestion of corresponding oligonucleotides of the two viruses were indistinguishable. These observations are consistent with, but not proof of, the possible identity of the genomes of the Akv-1 and Akv-2 viruses and, thus, of the viral genetic material believed to comprise the Akv-1 and Akv-2 loci of AKR mice.

The RNA of myelocytoma virus MC29, a replication-defective avian acute leukemia virus, was investigated. Sedimentation and electrophoretic analyses indicated that the virus contains a distinct 28S RNA with about 5700 nucleotides. It is the smallest avian tumor virus RNA detected to date. The small size of the RNA suggests that the defectiveness of the virus is due to deletions in replicative genes. The RNA shared 3 to 5 of 30 large RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides with the RNA of other avian leukosis and sarcoma and may represent the transforming information of the virus. Sequences of the conserved transforming gene of avian sarcoma viruses were not detected in MC29 RNA. It was concluded that the transforming sequences of MC29 RNA define a new class of avian tumor viral transforming genes.

From analysis of the large RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides of Kirsten sarcoma virus (Ki-SV), a physical map of the virus genome was deduced. Kirsten murine leukemia virus (Ki-MuLV) sequences were detected in T1 oligonucleotides closest to the 3' end of the viral RNA and extended approximately 1,000 nucleotides into the genome. The rat genetic sequences started at this point and extended all the way to the very 5' end of the RNA molecules, where a small stretch of Ki-MuLV sequence was detected. By comparison of the fingerprints of Ki-SV RNA and the RNA of the endogenous rat src genetic sequences, it was found that more than 50% of the T1 oligonucleotides were similar between Ki-SV and the endogenous rat src RNA, suggesting an identical primary nucleotide sequence in over 50% of the viral genomes. The results indicate that Ki-SV arose by recombination between the 5' and 3' ends of Ki-MuLV and a large portion of the homologous sequences of the endogenous rat src RNA.

The 5'-terminal, RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotide of poliovirus mRNA has been isolated. Its sequence is pU-U-A-A-A-A-C-A-Gp, which is identical to that of virion RNA except that the genome-linked protein VPg is absent [Nomoto, A., Detjen, B., Pozzatti, R. & Wimmer, E. (1977) Nature 268, 208-213]. Because all newly synthesized viral RNAs are VPg-linked, we propose that VPg is cleaved from progeny RNA at the linkage between protein and nucleic acid prior to polyribosome formation. This may represent a new mode of processing of viral macromolecules. Virion RNA from which VPg has been cleaved proteolytically retains its specific infectivity, an observation suggesting that VPg is not involved in early steps (penetration and translation) of the infectious cycle initiated by RNA.

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.
