Characterization of Leukemia-Inducing Genes Using a Proto-Oncogene/Homeobox Gene Retroviral Human cDNA Library in a Mouse In Vivo Model. [PDF]
The purpose of this research is to develop a method to screen a large number of potential driver mutations of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using a retroviral cDNA library and murine bone marrow transduction-transplantation system.

Protease-mediated maturation of M-PMV reverse transcriptase into a functional heterodimer. [PDF]
Abstract Reverse transcriptase (RT) of retroviruses orchestrates viral replication, yet its structural diversity remains poorly understood. Well‐studied RTs, such as those from HIV‐1, murine leukemia virus, and avian myeloblastosis virus, were characterized decades ago, but less prominent retroviruses have escaped detailed analysis.

Characterizationof Murine Leukemia Virus Restriction inMammals [PDF]
ABSTRACT Restriction of murine leukemia virus (MLV) was examined in cells from a range of mammals. All nonmurine restrictions were saturable blocks to N-tropic MLV infection, and several were prior to reverse transcription. We demonstrate restriction in cells from bat and show that if we express the murine restriction factor Fv1 in human ...

Identification of novel subgroup a variants with enhanced receptor binding and replicative capacity in primary isolates of anaemogenic strains of feline leukaemia virus [PDF]
<b>BACKGROUND:</b> The development of anaemia in feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)-infected cats is associated with the emergence of a novel viral subgroup, FeLV-C.

RUNX-mediated growth arrest and senescence are attenuated by diverse mechanisms in cells expressing RUNX1 fusion oncoproteins [PDF]
RUNX gene over-expression inhibits growth of primary cells but transforms cells with tumor suppressor defects, consistent with reported associations with tumor progression.

Infectious viral DNA of murine leukemia virus. [PDF]
A fraction of the unintegrated viral DNA that appears early after infection of mouse cells by Moloney leukemia virus is infectious. The infectivity could be deomonstrated by an XC plaque assay of the cells exposed to DNA co-precipitated with calcium phosphate.

Testing Strategies for Detection of Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-Related Virus Infection
Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a newly identified gamma retrovirus and may be associated with prostate cancer- (PC) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Since its identification in 2006 and detection of polytropic murine lenkemia

Hachimoji DNA and RNA: A genetic system with eight building blocks [PDF]
Reported here are DNA and RNA-like systems built from eight (hachi-) nucleotide letters (-moji) that form four orthogonal pairs. This synthetic genetic biopolymer meets the structural requirements needed to support Darwinism, including a polyelectrolyte ...
