Walleye dermal sarcoma (WDS) and walleye epidermal hyperplasia (WEH) are skin diseases of walleye fish that appear and regress on a seasonal basis. We report here that the complex retroviruses etiologically associated with WDS (WDS virus [WDSV]) and WEH (WEH viruses 1 and 2 [WEHV1 and WEHV2, respectively]) encode D-type cyclin homologs. The retroviral cyclins (rv-cyclins) are distantly related to one another and to known cyclins and are not closely related to any walleye cellular gene based on l ...[more]
