A cloned, permuted DNA copy of the Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) genome was capable of eliciting the morphological transformation of NIH/3T3 fibroblasts when applied to cells in a calcium phosphate precipitate. The efficiency of the process was extremely low, yielding approximately one transformant per microgram of DNA under conditions which give 10(4) transfectants per microgram of other DNAs (e.g., Moloney sarcoma virus proviral DNA). The DNA was able to induce foci, even though the 3' end of the genome was not present. The transforming gene was thus localized to the 5' portion of the genome. The transformed cells all produced viral RNA and the virus-specific P90 protein. Transmissible virus could be rescued from these cells at very low frequencies by superinfection with helper virus; the rescued A-MuLV virus had variable 3' ends apparently derived by recombination with the helper. Dimerization of the permuted A-MuLV cloned genome to reconstruct a complete provirus did not improve transformation efficiency. Virus could be rescued from these transformants, however, at a high efficiency. Cotransfection of the permuted A-MuLV DNA with proviral M-MuLV DNA yielded a significant increase in the efficiency of transformation and cotransfection of dimeric A-MuLV and proviral M-MuLV resulted in a high-efficiency transformation yielding several thousand more transformants per microgram than A-MuLV DNA alone. We propose that helper virus efficiently rescues A-MuLV from transiently transfected cells which would not otherwise have grown into foci. We hypothesize that multiple copies of A-MuLV DNA introduced into cells by transfection are toxic to cells. In support of this hypothesis, we have shown that A-MuLV DNA sequences can inhibit the stable transformation of cells by other selectable DNAs.
