The genome of PRCIV, a defective avian sarcoma virus of class II, was studied by nucleic acid hybridization and oligonucleotide mapping. It has a length of about 6.1 kilobases (kb). A stretch of retrovirus replicative sequences encompassing part of thegag, all of thepol, and most of theenvregion, in all about 5 kb, is deleted. In its place a 2.9 kb substitution that is transformation-specific for PRCIV was found. Flanking the PRCIV-specific substitution are sequences shared with the helper virus, a stretch of 2.0 kb on the 5′-side, including part of thegagregion, and a stretch of up to 1 kb on the 3′-side, including the C-region and possibly someenvsequences. A PRCIV-specific cDNA probe representing the transformation-specific sequences was prepared. This probe hybridizes only with RNAs of other class II sarcoma viruses but fails to hybridize with either class I or class III sarcoma viruses.
