Multiple arrangements of viral DNA and an activated host oncogene in bursal lymphomas

Nature volume 295, pages 209–214 (1982)Cite this article

Abstract

Proviruses of avian leukosis virus (ALV) are located in the vicinity of a putative cellular oncogene (c-myc) in ALV-induced bursal lymphomas. Enhanced expression of c-myc occurs in association with proviruses found in any of three configurations: (I) on the 5′ side (‘upstream’) of c-myc in the same transcriptional orientation; (II) on the 3′ side (‘downstream’) of c-myc in the same orientation; (III) upstream, in the transcriptional orientation opposite to that of c-myc. Thus, activation of adjacent cellular genes by retroviral DNA can involve mechanisms other than provision of a transcriptional promoter.
