RESUMO

A library of recombinant bacteriophage was prepared from ts167 avian erythroblastosis virus-transformed erythroid precursor cells (HD6), and integrated proviruses from three distinct genomic loci were isolated. A subclone of one of these proviruses (pAEV1) was shown to confer temperature-sensitive release from transformation of erythroid precursor cells in vitro. The predicted amino acid sequence of the v-erbB polypeptide from the mutant had a single amino acid change when compared with the wild-type parental virus. When the wild-type amino acid was introduced into the temperature-sensitive avian erythroblastosis virus provirus in pAEV1, all erythroid clones produced in vitro were phenotypically wild type. The mutation is a change from a histidine to an aspartic acid in the temperature-sensitive v-erbB polypeptide. It is located in the center of the tyrosine-specific protein kinase domain and corresponds to amino acid position 826 of the human epidermal growth factor receptor sequence.
