Transfection of chicken embryo cells with pMC29, a plasmid vector containing the sequences for the acute transforming virus MC29, and a cloned transformation-defective helper virus, p.DELTA.Mst, resulted in morphological transformation, the synthesis of P110gag-myc (the product of the gag-myc oncogene), and the production of infectious virus. MC29 mutants bearing site-directed deletions within the gag-specific sequences or within the middle portion of the myc sequences efficiently induced transformation of chicken embryo cells in culture. However, variants containing deletions of sequences in the amino-terminal half or carboxy-terminal portion of the myc gene were defective for transformation. The gag-myc proteins encoded by these variants efficiently localized to the cell nucleus. Premature termination mutants were isolated which encoded gag-myc proteins lacking the carboxy-terminal 185 residues; these truncated proteins localized to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Deletion of as few as 11 residues within the middle of the myc-specific sequences (residues Ile-239 to Glu-249) significantly reduced the efficiency of chicken hematopoietic cell transformation.
