p21v-H-ras, the transforming protein of Harvey murine sarcoma virus, contains a covalently attached lipid. Using thin-layer chromatography, we identified the acyl group as the 16-carbon saturated fatty acid palmitic acid. No myristic acid was detected in fatty acids released from in vivo-labeled
Protein sequence requirements for cleavage of the signal peptide from the Rous sarcoma virus glycoprotein have been investigated through the use of deletion mutagenesis. The phenotypes of these mutants have been characterized by expression of the cloned, mutated env genes in CV-1 cells using a late
The Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein is modified by the addition of palmitic acid. To identify whether conserved cysteines within the hydrophobic anchor region are the site(s) of palmitoylation, and to determine the role of acylation in glycoprotein function, cysteines at
The lipid bound to p60src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus, has been identified by gas and thin-layer chromatography as the 14-carbon saturated fatty acid, myristic acid. The protein can be labeled biosynthetically with either [3H]myristic acid or [3H]palmitic acid. Incorporation of
A new feline sarcoma virus designated Theilen-Pedersen (TP1-FeSV) has been isolated from a spontaneous, slowly growing fibrosarcoma of a domestic short-haired 4-year-old castrated cat. The virus codes for a gag-onc fusion protein of 83,000 molecular weight phosphorylated in vivo at serine,
The influence of vinblastine (VLB) in combined chemotherapy on tumor cell membrane fluidity of a patient with exulcerated soft tissue sarcoma was studied by the electron paramagnetic resonance method (EPR). Tissue samples were taken before and after applications of VLB, Cis-Platinum (CDP) and
This study was designed to ascertain whether the overall availability of whole-body lipids and nitrogen is a limiting factor for survival in tumor-bearing mice suffering from anorexia and cachexia. Three-month-old nongrowing mice (C57BL/6J) were given s.c. transplants of a methylcholanthrene-induced
CD9 is a signal-initiating glycoprotein of uncertain membrane insertion which contains more than one locus of acylation and is distinguished by being the major acylatable platelet protein. The N-terminus of CD9 is blocked to Edman degradation. We investigated whether [3H]myristic acid could be
Like cancer cells, virally infected cells have dramatically altered metabolic requirements. We analyzed global metabolic changes induced by latent infection with an oncogenic virus, Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). KSHV is the etiologic agent of Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS), the most common
The p21 proteins of ras oncogenes are synthesized as precursors in the cytosol. After processing, which involves acylation, the products are associated with the plasma membrane in eucaryotic cells. The p21 overproduced in Escherichia coli, however, is not processed by acylation. A synthetic
