Intracisternal A-particle (IAP) proviral elements are abundant and widely dispersed in the mouse genome. IAP-related transcripts have been detected in normal mouse tissues where expression is under genetic control. In this study, we sought to determine whether IAP expression in BALB/c thymus and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated B cells was due to selective or indiscriminate activation of IAP elements. cDNA libraries were prepared from each source. A total of 86 IAP cDNA clones were isolated from both libraries, and 37 of these were sequenced over a common 0.7- to 1.0-kb region of the IAP genome that included the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR). Three highly related families of elements were found to be expressed in the two cell types examined. All of the related elements had a distinctive U3 regulatory region. Thirteen individual IAP proviral elements were distinguished on the basis of sequence differences within the R region of the LTR. Hybridization of genomic DNA with element-specific oligonucleotide probes confirmed the presence of a restricted number of proviral copies in the lymphocyte-specific family of elements. Most of these copies were found to be methylated in the lymphocyte DNA, but at least seven were hypomethylated in their 5' LTRs. This study shows that activation of IAP elements in normal normal mouse lymphocytes is highly selective. Activation is probably a function of both sequence specificity and methylation status of the proviral LTR.
