We determined the nucleotide sequence of about 1 kilobase of DNA 3' to the 5' long terminal repeat of three noninfectious ad one infectious proviral DNA clones of spleen necrosis virus, an avian retrovirus, to determine if the types of nucleic acid changes involved in retrovirus mutation shed light on special features of retrovirus replication. An open reading frame was found starting 411 base pairs from the end of the long terminal repeat. It contained sequences coding for the 36 amino acids at the amino terminus of the p30 of a related reticuloendotheliosis virus [Oroszlan, S., Barbacid, M., Copeland T., Aaronson, S. A. &amp; Gilden, R. V. (1981) J. Virol. 39, 845-854]. Therefore, the open reading frame represents the 5' end of the gag gene. A mutation in one noninfectious provirus changed the initiation codon for the gag polypeptide; a mutation in another noninfectious provirus caused premature termination of gag polypeptide synthesis; and a nontandem duplication into gag resulting from a mistake in initial (+) strand DNA synthesis changed amino acids and the reading frame in a third noninfectious provirus. These mutations appear to be responsible for the lack of infectivity of these provirus clones and indicate a higher relative frequency of mutation in this region of the genome. In addition, all four clones have multiple other mutations. These mutations are mostly base pair substitutions and many are clustered for any one clone, reflecting certain special features of retrovirus replication.
