The authors have constructed replication-competent avian retrovirus vectors that contain two of the three known types of chicken c-{ital ski} cDNAs and a third vector that contains a truncated c-{ital ski} cDNA. They developed antisera that recognize the c-{ital ski} proteins made by the three transforming c-{ital ski} viruses. All three proteins (apparent molecular masses, 50, 60, and 90 kilodaltons) are localized primarily in the nucleus. The proteins are differentially phosphorylated; immunofluorescence also suggests that there are differences in subnuclear localization of the c-{ital ski} proteins and that c-{ital ski} protein is associated with condensed chromatin in dividing cells.
