Multiple sequence elements in the U3 region of the leukemogenic murine retrovirus SL3-2 contribute to cell-dependent gene expression
Abstract
Determination of the U3 sequence of the leukemogenic murine retrovirus SL3-2 revealed close relationships to SL3-3, Akv, and Gross passage A viruses. The SL3-2 and Akv regions showed wide differences in their relative transcriptional activity in four cell lines as determined by U3-driven transient expression assays. The U3 regions of SL3-2 and SL3-3 gave rise to similar but not identical levels of expression. Deletion mapping of the SL3-2 U3 region points to several determinants of expression of different relative importance in the cell lines tested.
