Gazdar-murine sarcoma virus (Gz-MSV) particles, obtained from tissue culture fluids of chronically infected HTG-2 hamster cells are immature in morphology and contain uncleaved Pr65gagas the predominant protein (>95% Coomassie blue stain) (A. Pinter and E. deHarven, 1979,Virology,99, 103–110; Y. Yoshinaka and R. B. Luftig, 1982,Virology,118, 380–388). When Gz-MSV particles are disrupted in 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and then analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in theabsenceof reducing agents, such as β-mercaptoethanol (β-MSH) almost half of the Pr65gagCoomassie blue-stained band is detected as a band at aMrof 130K. Electrophoretic blotting studies with monospecific antisera against MuLV p30, p15, p12, and p10 showed that the 130K band cross-reacted with all four antigens suggesting that it was a dimer of Pr65gagTwo-dimensional (2D) SDS-PAGE where the first dimension was run under nonreducing conditions and the second with β-MSH, supported the contention that the 130K band was a dimeric complex of Pr65gagOne also saw minor amounts of a 260K and higher polymeric forms of Pr65gagon the SDS gels, suggesting that polymeric forms may exist as well. When32P-labeled Gz-MSV particles obtained byin vivolabeling of infected HTG-2 cells with [32P]PPi were electrophoresed on SDS-PAGE, only 10% of the32P label was detected at the 130K position. In contrast, 30% of the Coomassie blue-stained Pr65gagmaterial was found at 130K on the 2D gels. This suggests that unphosphorylated Pr65gagis more likely to participate in dimer formation than phosphorylated Pr65gagPr65gagof Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV), which is present as a minor (5% of stain) protein band on SDS-PAGE also showed 130K dimers. Further, in β-MSH-deficient SDS preparations of Gz-MSV, electrophoresed after trypsin treatment, a 32K band that stained with p15, but not p10, p12, nor p30, antisera was observed. If β-MSH was added, this band was no longer present. Thus Pr65gagdimerization in immature MuLV particles appears to at least involve the p15 region of the polyprotein. Since p15 is an extremely hydrophobic protein, formation of Pr65gagdimers may occur when virion precursor proteins are brought to the cell membrane during virus assembly.
