The tumorigenic properties of Rous sarcoma virus are attributable to a 60,000-dalton protein, pp60v-src, encoded by a single viral gene, v-src. A homologous gene, c-src, that contains the information for a 60,000-dalton protein, pp60c-src, was identified in all tested vertebrate cells. By screening a recombinant DNA library representative of the chicken genome, 2 overlapping DNA fragments that contain > 30 kilobases (kb) of DNA spanning the coding sequences for pp60c-src were isolated. This 30-kb region is devoid of moderately or highly repeated sequences and shares homology with the entire viral gene and noncoding sequences 5'' of v-src. Although v-src has an uninterrupted coding sequence, c-src is interrupted by a minimum of 7 intervening sequences. At least 2 polyadenylylated RNA seem to be encoded within the isolated DNA. The larger RNA, .apprx. 3.9 kb, is the presumptive c-src mRNA; the smaller transcript of .apprx. 2 kb hybridizes to DNA sequences several kilobases from the 3'' end of the v-src/c-src homology area.
