Several strains of laboratory and wild-derived mice from Japan carry the dominant allele at the Fv-4 locus (Fv-4r) that is responsible for resistance to infection by exogenous ecotropic murine leukemia virus. Blot hybridization with a probe specific for the ecotropic viral envelope was used to show that a unique envelope-reactive sequence is present in the Japanese mouse Mus musculus molossinus and in 4 independently derived partially congeneic strains carrying Fv-4r. Analysis of 31 backcross mice shows complete concordance between inheritance of this fragment and resistance to Friend virus complex-induced erythroblastosis. Inheritance of this sequence also suppresses spontaneous expression of the endogenous ecotropic viruses carried by M. musculus molossinus. Restriction enzyme analysis shows that that Fv-4r-associated sequence is different from the full-length ecotropic proviruses of laboratory mice. Infectious virus cannot be induced from mice carrying only the Fv-4r-associated sequence. Examination of other wild-derived mice resistant to Friend virus complex shows that M. cervicolor cervicolor also contains the Fv-4r sequence. Evidently, a unique or incomplete provirus containing ecotropic envelope-related sequences is responsible for Fv-4-mediated resistance to both exogenous and endogenous ecotropic virus in various Asian mice.
