The retroviral integration site Fli-1 is rearranged in 75% of the erythroleukemia cell clones induced by Friend murine leukemia virus (F-MuLV), whereas Spi-1/PU.1, a member of the ets family of DNA-binding proteins, is rearranged in 95% of the erythroleukemias induced by Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV). To determine the transcriptional domain defined by Fli-1, we have isolated a cDNA clone that is highly expressed only in erythroleukemia cell lines with Fli-1 rearrangements. The protein sequence of this cDNA is very similar to Erg2, another member of the ets gene family. The hydrophilic carboxy-terminal end of the Fli-1 cDNA shares significant sequence similarity to the DNA-binding ETS domain found in all members of the ets family. PFGE analysis localized Fli-1 within 240 kb of the ets-1 proto-oncogene on mouse chromosome 9 and human chromosome 11q23, suggesting that ets-1 and Fli-1 arose from a common ancestral gene by gene duplication. The involvement of the murine Fli-1, Spi-1, and avian v-ets genes in erythroleukemia induction suggests that activation of ets gene family members plays an important role in the progression of these multistage malignancies.
