Abstract
The Abelson leukemia virus (AbLV) polyprotein P120 is compared to translational products representing the entire Moloney murine leukemia virus (MuLV) genome on the basis of [35S]methionine tryptic peptide composition. Three methionine-containing tryptic peptides present in Moloney Pr65gag are each shown to be present in both Pr75gag and in Pr180gag-pol. Of these, one peptide, corresponding to Moloney MuLV p12, but neither of two p30-specific peptides are present in AbLV P120. Among the 12 remaining methionine-containing peptides present in AbLV P120, many, if not all, are unique to AbLV P120 and not shared by either Moloney MuLV Pr180gag-pol or Pr82gag.
