Transformation of myelomonocytic cells by the avian myeloblastosis virus is determined by the v-myb oncogene, not by the unique long terminal repeats of the virus.

RESUMO
The avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) induces acute monoblastic leukemia in chickens and transforms only myelomonocytic cells in vitro. The long terminal repeat (LTR) regulatory region of AMV is unique among the known classes of avian retrovirus LTRs. We demonstrate that the substitution of the AMV LTRs by Rous sarcoma virus LTRs did not alter the cell type specificity or the transforming ability of the virus.

- Transformation of chicken myelomonocytic cells by a retrovirus expressing the v-myb oncogene from the long terminal repeats of avian myeloblastosis virus but not Rous sarcoma virus.
- Specific amino acid substitutions are not required for transformation by v-myb of avian myeloblastosis virus.
- DNA-binding activity associated with the v-myb oncogene product is not sufficient for transformation.
- Coordinate regulation of myelomonocytic phenotype by v-myb and v-myc.
- v-myb does not prevent the expression of c-myb in avian erythroblasts.
