Abstract

The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences (initial 23 residues) of Friend murine leukemia virus gp71 and gp69 were determined and found to be different but highly related. Friend murine leukemia virus gp71 differed from Rauscher murine leukemia virus gp70 in only one position. Friend murine leukemia virus gp69 showed approximately 41% homology to these glycoproteins but lacked the glycosylation site (sequon) occurring at position 12 in Rauscher murine leukemia virus gp70.
