HPRS-103 (exogenous avian leukosis virus, subgroup J) has an env gene related to those of endogenous elements EAV-0 and E51 and an E element found previously only in sarcoma viruses

Abstract: The avian leukosis and sarcoma virus (ALSV) group comprises eight subgroups based on envelope properties. HPRS-103, an exogenous retrovirus recently isolated from meat-type chicken lines, is similar to the viruses of these subgroups in group antigen but differs from them in envelope properties and has been assigned to a new subgroup, J. HPRS-103 has a wide host range in birds, and unlike other nontransforming ALSVs which cause late-onset B-cell lymphomas, HPRS-103 causes late-onset myelocytomas. Analysis of th… Show more

“…However, it seems unlikely that the RSV stimulator is the only member of this group. Within the avian-leukosis sarcoma genus, the frameshift sequences present at the gag/pol overlap region of two sequenced avian leukosis virus (ALV) strains (one subgroup A, Bieth & Darlix, 1992; one subgroup J [ALV103 J], Bai et al, 1995) are closely conserved and PK2 and PK4 are identical. The same is also true for the gag/pol overlap region of two proviral clones (pSRA2, De Lorbe et al, 1980;pRCAS, Hughes et al, 1987) of the related Schmidt-Ruppin subgroup A strain which we have sequenced (data not shown).…”

“…The most outstanding example for in vivo recombination, led to the creation of the new avian leukosis virus, subgroup J (ALV-J). ALV-J emerged following a spontaneous recombination between exogenous and endogenous retroviral sequences (Bai et al, 1995;Venugopal, 1999). Very soon the new virus disseminated worldwide with the extensive international trade of the specific genetic breed, in which ALV-J was created, leading to a very severe outcome with a devastating economic impact on the poultry industry (Malkinson et al, 2004).…”

“…Very soon the new virus disseminated worldwide with the extensive international trade of the specific genetic breed, in which ALV-J was created, leading to a very severe outcome with a devastating economic impact on the poultry industry (Malkinson et al, 2004). ALV-J genetic sequence revealed several recombinations between the exogenous ALV gag and pol genes and the env gene of the endogenous avian erythoblastosis virus (Bai et al, 1995;Benson et al, 1998;Fadly and Smith, 1999). In the respect of viral evolution through genetic recombination, ALV-J represents a viable recombinant that occurred spontaneously in vivo between exogenous and endogenous avian retroviruses, ALV and AEV, respectively.…”

“…As two oncogenic retroviruses, avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) are the optimal model to study the synergistic tumorigenesis mechanisms. Both ALV-J and REV consist of a set of retroviral genes, gag, pol, env and LTR, and mainly induce myelocytomas and reticuloendotheliosis, respectively (1, 2). Due to similar transmission routes, co-infection of ALV-J and REV can readily occur (3, 4), and spread very rapidly (5-7).…”
