Nonconditional replication mutants of squirrel monkey retrovirus (SMRV), an endogenous type D virus of primates, are shown to be defective in post-translational processing of nonglycosylated virus-coded structural proteins. Utilizing such mutants, in combination with sensitive radioimmunological assays, we demonstrate the existence of a 72,000-molecular-weight precursor polyprotein (Pr72gag) encoded by a region of the SMRV genome designated gag. Post-translational cleavage of this precursor polyprotein gives rise to virion structural proteins of 35,000 (p35), 16,000 (p16), 12,000 (p12), and 9,000 (p9) molecular weight. Three of these viral proteins, p35, p16, and p9, are shown to be phosphorylated. Analysis of viral antigen expression in cell lines nonproductively infected with either of two replication-defective SMRV mutants or mink cells productively infected with wild-type SMRV resulted in the detection of several SMRV Pr72gag intermediate cleavage products. Adjacent proteins within such intermediates are identified by use of specific competition immunoassays, and the intracistropic order of individual structural proteins with SMRV Pr72gag was tentatively deduced as NH2-p16-p12-p35-p9-COOH.
