RESUMO
We have studied the pattern of glycoprotein synthesis in two nonconditional mutants of Rous sarcoma virus. One mutant, SE33, produces no viral particles but synthesizes Pr92env, which is cleaved intracellularly to mature glycoproteins. The second mutant, SE521, encodes a gPr92env which is not cleaved to gp85 or gp37 and therefore produces virions with the phenotype of Bryan RSV(-) or NY8. Neither of these mutants have detectable genomic deletions. The study of these mutants has led to the following conclusions. (i) In the absence of particle production or p15 synthesis, gPr92env can be cleaved to the mature glycoprotein which is found on the cell surface. (ii) Noncleaved gPr92env is not packaged into virions but is found on the cell surface. (iii) gPr92env alone can account for subgroup specific viral interference. (iv) gPr92env is probably transported to the cell surface before additional glycosylation or cleavage to mature virion glycoprotein. The nonprocessed precursor of SE521 appears to be glycosylated normally, and thus far we have been unable to determine the basis for the defect in this mutant.
