Viral membrane fusion proteins of class I are trimers in which the protomeric unit is a complex of a surface subunit (SU) and a fusion active transmembrane subunit (TM). Here we have studied how the protomeric units of Moloney murine leukemia virus envelope protein (Env) are activated in relation to each other, sequentially or simultaneously. We followed the isomerization of the SU-TM disulfide and subsequent SU release from Env with biochemical methods and found that this early activation step occurred sequentially in the three protomers, generating two asymmetric oligomer intermediates according to the scheme (SU-TM)3→ (SU-TM)2TM → (SU-TM)TM2→ TM3. This was the case both when activation was triggered in vitro by depleting stabilizing Ca2+from solubilized Env and when viral Env was receptor triggered on rat XC cells. In the latter case, the activation reaction was too fast for direct observation of the intermediates, but they could be caught by alkylation of the isomerization active thiol.

Using the Southern procedure, we have studied the presence of ecotropic-specific murine leukemia viral sequences in genomic DNA isolated from primary X-ray-induced thymomas, from lymphoid cell lines established from them, or from secondary tumors passaged in vivo. We found that primary radiation-induced thymomas and infiltrated spleens do not harbor newly acquired ecotropic provirus. However, additional ecotropic proviruses (which appear recombinant in the gagpol region) could be detected in most of the tumorigenic cell lines established in vitro from them and in tumors arising from subcutaneous transplantation of the primary thymomas. These results suggest that primary radiation-induced thymomas may not be clonal. They also indicate a strong correlation between the presence of ecotropic recombinant proviruses in the genome and the growth ability, both in vitro and in vivo, of specific cells within these thymomas, suggesting a possible mitogenic function for murine leukemia virus.
