Integration of DNA of a temperature-sensitive SV40 mutant (tsA239) into the cell genome was studied. The viral A gene (the oncogene) encodes the tumour T antigen which is ts in the mutant and is devoid of mutagenic and transforming activity under non-permissive conditions (40 degrees C). Clones of Chinese hamster cells infected by tsA239 mutant were analysed. Those infected by wild-type SV40 served as controls. As shown by dot-hybridization, SV40 DNA was detected in cells of 14 out of 18 clones infected by tsA mutant and incubated at 40.5 degrees C, and in all 20 clones infected by tsA mutant and incubated under permissive conditions (33 degrees C), the difference between the two groups being insignificant (p greater than 0.05). By means of blot-hybridization it was established that viral DNA was integrated into the cell genome of all 12 clones analysed, belonging to the three experimental series: infection by tsA mutant, incubation at 40.5 and 33 degrees C, infection by wt SV40, incubation at 40.5 degrees C. The number of integration sites ranged from one to four in different clones. Integration of SV40 DNA in tandems was observed. The data presented allow to conclude that integration per se does not play a crucial role in determining the mutagenic and transforming effect of the virus. Obviously, what matters is the activity of viral oncogene product - the T antigen. 相似文献

Nick-translated simian virus 40 (SV40) [32P]DNA fragments (greater than 2 X 10(8) cpm/micrograms) were resolved into early- and late-strand nucleic acid sequences by hybridization with asymmetric SV40 complementary RNA. Both single-stranded DNA fractions contained less than 0.5% self-complementary sequences; both included [32P]-DNA sequences that derived from all regions of the SV40 genome. In contrast to asymmetric SV40 complementary RNA, both single-stranded [32P]DNAs annealed to viral [3H]DNA at a rate characteristic of SV40 DNA reassociation. Kinetics of reassociation between the single-stranded [32P]DNAs indicated that the two fractions contain greater than 90% of the total nucleotide sequences comprising the SV40 genome. These preparations were used as hybridization probes to detect small amounts of viral DNA integrated into the chromosomes of Chinese hamster cells transformed by SV40. Under the conditions used for hybridization titrations in solution (i.e., 10- to 50-fold excess of radioactive probe), as little as 1 pg of integrated SV40 DNA sequence was assayed quantitatively. Among the transformed cells analyzed, three clones contained approximately one viral genome equivalent of SV40 DNA per diploid cell DNA complement; three other clones contained between 1.2 and 1.6 viral genome equivalents of SV40 DNA; and one clone contained somewhat more than two viral genome equivalents of SV40 DNA. Preliminary restriction endonuclease maps of the integrated SV40 DNAs indicated that four clones contained viral DNA sequences located at a single, clone-specific chromosomal site. In three clones, the SV40 DNA sequences were located at two distinct chromosomal sites. 相似文献

We studied the pattern of integration of the simian virus 40 (SV40) genome into the cellular DNA of N-transformants (temperature sensitive) and A-transformants (temperature insensitive) derived from 3T3-Fisher rat and Chinese hamster lung cells. The SV40 DNA was covalently linked to the cellular DNA in both types of transformants. In the rat cells, most N-transformants contained SV40 sequences integrated at a single site; most A-transformants contained SV40 sequences integrated at two to five sites. In the Chinese hamster cells, no significant correlation between the number of integration sites and the phenotype of the transformant was found; one of three integration sites were observed for both the N- and A-transformants. Single copies and tandem repeats of SV40 sequences were observed in A- and N-transformants derived from rat cells. A-transformants arise neither by amplification of the SV40 genome nor by integration at a unique site. 相似文献

We have investigated the structure of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA integrated into the genome of transformed mouse mKS-A cells. We have identified at least six independent integration units containing intact or truncated SV40 DNA sequences. One integration unit was isolated from a genomic mKS-A cell library and investigated by restriction enzyme analysis and partial nucleotide sequencing. This integration unit contains one apparently intact SV40 genome flanked on both sides by truncated versions of the SV40 genome. One of the flanking elements contains a large deletion in the SV40 "late" region and an abbreviated SV40 "early" region. This element was efficiently excised and mobilized after fusion of mKS-A to COS cells. The excision products invariably included the entire SV40 early region even though they were derived from an integrated element lacking this part of the SV40 genome. An analysis of this discrepancy led to the conclusion that the early region sequences were acquired by homologous recombination and, furthermore, that homologous excisional recombination was clearly preferred over non-homologous recombination. 相似文献

We have analyzed cellular DNA sequences at the viral genome integration site in a human fibroblast cell line VA13 immortalized by simian virus 40 (SV40). The computer analysis of the junctional cellular DNA sequences did not show any homology to the DNA sequences previously reported. This suggests that immortalization by SV40 was not induced by the destruction of any known oncogene or anti-oncogene at the integration site. We did not find the precise substantial sequence homology at the junctional site between the cellular DNA and SV40 DNA, indicating that the recombination mechanism involved does not require precise sequence homology and therefore, SV40 genome was probably not integrated by homologous recombination. Short direct and inverted repeats of 5 to 29 nucleotides were found in the junctional cellular and SV40 DNA. Cellular DNA abutting SV40 DNA was found by the Northern blot analysis to be expressed in diploid human fibroblasts and SV40-transformed cells. The nature of this RNA is now under study. 相似文献

The simian virus 40 T antigen double hexamer assembles around the DNA at the replication origin. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
An initial step in the replication of simian virus (SV40) DNA is the ATP-dependent formation of a double hexamer of the SV40 large tumor (T) antigen at the SV40 DNA replication origin. In the absence of DNA, T antigen assembled into hexamers in the presence of magnesium and ATP. Hexameric T antigen was stable and could be isolated by glycerol gradient centrifugation. The ATPase activities of hexameric and monomeric T antigen isolated from parallel glycerol gradients were identical. However, while monomeric T antigen was active in the ATP-dependent binding, untwisting, unwinding, and replication of SV40 origin-containing DNA, hexameric T antigen was inactive in these reactions. Isolated hexamers incubated at 37 degrees C in the presence of ATP remained intact, but dissociated into monomers when incubated at 37 degrees C in the absence of ATP. This dissociation restored the activity of these preparations in the DNA replication reaction, indicating that hexameric T antigen is not permanently inactivated but merely assembled into a nonproductive structure. We propose that the two hexamers of T antigen at the SV40 origin assemble around the DNA from monomer T antigen in solution. This complex untwists the DNA at the origin, melting specific DNA sequences. The resulting single-stranded regions may be utilized by the T antigen helicase activity to initiate DNA unwinding bidirectionally from the origin. 相似文献

Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication is a useful model to study eukaryotic cell DNA replication because it encodes only one replication protein and its genome has a nucleoprotein structure ('minichromosome') indistinguishable from cellular chromatin. Late after infection SV40 replicating DNA molecules represent about 5% of total viral minichromosomes. Since gene 32 protein (P32) from bacteriophage T4 interacts with single-stranded DNA and SV40 replication complexes are expected to contain single-stranded regions at the replication forks, we asked whether P32 might be used to isolate replicating SV40 minichromosomes. When nuclear extracts from SV40 infected cells were treated sequentially with P32 and anti-P32 antibodies, pulse-labeled minichromosomes were selectively immunoprecipitated. Agarose gel electrophoresis analysis confirmed that immunoprecipitated material corresponded to SV40 replicative intermediates. Protein analysis of the pelleted material revealed several proteins of viral and cellular origin. Among them, T antigen and histones were found to be complexed with at least other three proteins from cellular origin, to the replicative complexes. Additionally, anti-P32 antibodies were able to detect three cellular proteins of approximately 70, 32 and 13 kDa in western blots. These proteins could correspond to those found as part of an eukaryotic multisubunit single-stranded DNA binding protein. The use of P32 and anti-P32 antibodies thus allows the separation of replicating from mature SV40 minichromosomes and can constitute a novel method to enrich and to study replicative active chromatin. 相似文献

Late after infection of permissive monkey cells by simian virus 40 (SV40), large amounts of SV40 DNA (30,000 to 220,000 viral genome equivalents per cell) can be isolated with the high-molecular-weight fraction of cellular DNA. Hirai and Defendi (J. Virol.9:705-707, 1972) and H?lzel and Sokol (J. Mol. Biol. 84:423-444, 1974) suggested that this SV40 DNA is covalently integrated into the cellular DNA. However, our data indicate that the high-molecular-weight viral DNA is composed of tandem, "head-to-tail" repeats of SV40 DNA and that very little, if any, of this viral DNA is covalently joined to the cellular DNA. This was deduced from the following experimental findings. The size of the SV40 DNA associated with the high-molecular-weight cellular DNA fraction is greater than 45 kilobases, based on its electrophoretic mobility in agarose gels. In this form the SV40 DNA did not produce heteroduplex structures with a marker viral DNA (an SV40 genome with a characteristic deletion and duplication). After the high-molecular-weight DNA was digested with EcoRI or HpaII endonucleases, enzymes which cleave SV40 DNA once, more than 95% of the SV40 DNA migrated as unit-length linear molecules and, after hybridization with the marker viral DNA, the expected heteroduplex structures were easily detected. Digestion of the high-molecular-weight DNA fraction with restriction endonucleases that cleave cellular, but not SV40. DNA did not alter the electrophoretic mobility of the polymeric SV40 DNA, nor did it give rise to molecules that form heteroduplex structures with the marker viral DNA. Polymeric SV40 DNA molecules produced after coinfection by two physically distinguishable SV40 genomes contain only a single type of genome, suggesting that they arise by replication rather than by recombination. The polymeric form of SV40 DNA is highly infectious for CV-1P monolayers (6.5 X 10(4) PFU per microgram of SV40 DNA), yielding virtually exclusively normal, covalently closed circular, monomer-length DNA. Quite clearly these cells have an efficient mechanism for generating monomeric viral DNA from the SV40 DNA polymers. 相似文献

A method is described for the preparation of 125I-labelled SV40 DNA. Using this method, SV40 DNA can be routinely labelled to 15 - 10(6) dpm per mug; much higher specific activities are easily obtained by minor modifications of the method. Once incorporated, the radioactive label dissociates from DNA exceedingly slowly at 4 degrees C or at 68 degrees C. Iodinated SV40 DNA is shown to be useful in the quantitation of viral nucleic acid sequences in SV40-transformed 3T3 cells by DNA - DNA reassociation kinetics. 相似文献

The kinetics of host cellular DNA stimulation by simian virus 40 (SV40) tsA58 infection was studied by flow microfluorometry and autoradiography in two types of productively infected monkey kidney cells (AGMK, secondary passage, and the TC-7 cell line). Prior to infection, the cell populations were maintained predominantly in G0-G1 hase of the cell cycle by low (0.25%) serum concentration. Infection of TC-7 or AGMK cells by wild-type SV40, viable deletion mutant dl890, or by SV40 tsA58 at 33 degrees C induced cells through S phase after which they were blocked with a 4N DNA content in the G2 phase. The infection of TC-7 cells by tsA58 at 41 degrees C, which was a nonpermissive temperature for viral DNA replication, induced a round of cell DNA synthesis in approximately 30% of the cell population. These cells proceeded through S phase but then re-entered the G1 resting state. In contrast, infection of AGMK cells by tsA58 at 41 degrees C induced DNA synthesis in approximately 50% of the cells, but this population remained blocked in the G2 phase. These results indicate that the mitogenic effect of the A gene product upon cellular DNA is more heat resistant than its regulating activity on viral DNA synthesis and that the extent of induction of cell DNA synthesis by the A gene product may be influenced by the host cell. 相似文献

Apurinic sites cause mutations in simian virus 40 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
SV40 has been used as a molecular probe to study the mutagenicity of apurinic sites (Ap) in mammalian cells. Untreated or UV-irradiated monkey kidney cells were transfected with depurinated DNA from the temperature-sensitive tsB201 SV40 late mutant which grows normally at the permissive temperature of 33 degrees C but which is unable to grow at 41 degrees C. Phenotypic revertants were screened at 41 degrees C for their ability to grow at the restrictive temperature and the mutation frequency was calculated in the viral progeny. Ap sites were introduced into DNA by heating at 70 degrees C under acid conditions (pH 4.8). This treatment induces one Ap site per SV40 genome per 15 min of heating as measured by alkaline denaturation or by treatment with the T4-encoded UV-specific endonuclease which possesses Ap-endonuclease activity. The experiments reported here show that Ap sites strongly decrease virus survival with a lethal hit corresponding roughly to 3 Ap lesions per SV40 genome, and indicate for the first time that apurinic sites produced by heating are highly mutagenic in animal cells. UV irradiation of the host cells 24 h prior to transfection with depurinated DNA did not modify the mutation frequency in the virus progeny. 相似文献

We have isolated a new type of temperature-sensitive mutant of simian virus 40 (SV40) that is capable of productive infection in permissive cells but not of maintenance of viral DNA integration in transformed cells at the conditional temperature. Virus development is induced when cells transformed by this mutant are shifted to temperatures above 39 degrees C, but is not induced below this temperature. The plaque-purified, temperature-sensitive mutant virus confers heat inducibility to new host cells, indicating that the conditional function is a property of the viral genome. Unlike previously described temperature-sensitive SV40 mutants, in (ts)-1501 is capable of productive infection in permissive cells at the conditional temperature. The morphology, growth, and oncogenicity of in (ts)-1501-transformed cells at 37 degrees C are similar to those of cell lines transformed by wild-type SV40. HK10-c2(in(ts)-1501), a cloned cell line, transformed at 37 degrees C by the mutant virus, exhibits a transient increase in DNA synthesis before cell death at the conditional temperature. Many properties of in(ts)-1501 are analogous to those of the heat-inducible mutants of bacteriophages in which a heat-inactivated protein is responsible for the stable integration of the prophage in the bacterial chromosome. 相似文献

Sundin and Varshavsky (J. Mol. Biol. 132:535-546, 1979) found that nearly two-thirds of simian virus 40 (SV40) minichromosomes obtained from nuclei of SV40-infected cells become singly nicked or cleaved across both strands after digestion with staphylococcal nuclease at 0 degrees C. The same treatment of SV40 DNA causes complete digestion rather than the limited cleavages produced in minichromosomal DNA. We have explored this novel behavior of the minichromosome and found that the nuclease sensitivity is dependent upon the topology of the DNA. Thus, if minichromosomes are pretreated with wheat germ DNA topoisomerase I, the minichromosomal DNA is completely resistant to subsequent digestion with staphylococcal nuclease at 0 degrees C. If the minichromosome-associated topoisomerase is removed, virtually all of the minichromosomes are cleaved to nicked or linear structures by the nuclease treatment. The cleavage sites are nonrandomly located; instead they occur at discrete loci throughout the SV40 genome. SV40 minichromosomal DNA is also cleaved to nicked circles and full-length linear fragments after treatment with the single strand-specific endonuclease S1; this cleavage is also inhibited by pretreatment with topoisomerase I. Thus, it may be that the nuclease sensitivity of minichromosomes is due to the transient or permanent unwinding of discrete regions of their DNA. Direct comparisons of the extent of negative supercoiling of native and topoisomerase-treated SV40 minichromosomes revealed that approximately two superhelical turns were removed by the topoisomerase treatment. The loss of these extra negative supercoils from the DNA probably accounts for the resistance of the topoisomerase-treated minichromosomes to the staphylococcal and S1 nucleases. These findings suggest that the DNA in SV40 intranuclear minichromosomes is torsionally strained. The functional significance of this finding is discussed. 相似文献

Structure of integrated simian virus 40 DNA in transformed mouse cells 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The structure of integrated viral DNA sequences in four lines of simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed Balb/c 3T3 cells has been probed using restriction endonucleases and the Southern (1975) transfer method. By considering data from a large number of restriction digests of DNA from each line, and by using a novel method of handling the data, we have constructed fairly detailed physical maps of the integrated DNA in each line. The most striking of the features of the maps described here is that none is easily explained by the integration of a single SV40 genome into the DNA of the host cell. Three of the lines contain at least two distinct integrated segments and the fourth contains a single segment longer than the viral DNA. Considered individually, only two of the seven segments that we have mapped might be unit length. Of the remaining five, two are longer and three are shorter than the viral genome. It seems likely, therefore, that at least in SV40-transformed Balb/c 3T3 cells simple, single integrations are rare.The endpoints of these seven segments of integrated DNA fall at many positions distributed over the entire genome, confirming earlier studies (Ketner &; Kelly, 1976; Botchan et al., 1976), which indicated that SV40 integration is not absolutely site-specific.Finally, one of the lines mapped here (SVB209) does not possess an intact SV40 early region, an observation that suggests the possibility that a normal viral large T polypeptide is not synthesized by this line. 相似文献

tsJT60 cells, a temperature-sensitive G0 mutant of a Fischer rat cell line, grew normally in an exponential growth phase at both permissive (34 degrees C) and nonpermissive (39.5 degrees C) temperatures, but when stimulated with fetal bovine serum in the growth-arrested state (G0 phase) they entered S phase at 34 degrees C but not at 39.5 degrees C. Infection of G0-arrested tsJT60 cells with SV40, adenovirus (Ad) 5 wild type and its E1B mutant dl313, and Ad12 wild type and its E1B mutants in205B, in205C, dl205, and in206B induced DNA synthesis at both temperatures. The DNA synthesized after virus infection was shown to be cellular by Hirt separation of DNA from SV40-infected cells and by CsCl equilibrium density gradient centrifugation of DNA from Ad5-infected cells. 相似文献

Mature SV40 DNA synthesized for different periods of time either in isolated nuclei or in intact cells was highly purified and then digested with restriction endonucleases in order to relate the time of synthesis of newly replicated viral DNA to its location in the genome. Replication in nuclei supplemented with a cytosol fraction from uninfected cells was a faithful continuation of the bidirectional process observed in intact cells, but did not exhibit significant initiation of new replicons. SV40 DNA replication in cells at 37 degrees C proceeded at about 145 nucleotides/min per replication fork. In the absence of cytosol, when DNA synthesis was limited and joining of Okazaki fragments was retarded, bidirectional SV40 DNA replication continued into the normal region where separation yeilded circular duplex DNA molecules containing one or more interruptions in the nascent DNA strands. In the presence of cytosol, this type of viral DNA was shown to be a precursor of covalently closed, superhelical SV40 DNA, the mature from of viral DNA. 相似文献

Multiple insertions and tandem repeats of origin-minus simian virus 40 DNA in transformed rat and mouse cells. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stable simian virus 40 (SV40) transformation requires integration and expression of the early region of the SV40 genome. We have examined the amount and state of integrated viral DNA of SV40-transformed NIH 3T3 mouse and F2408 rat fibroblast lines generated by transfection with either wild-type or origin-defective SV40 DNA. A functional SV40 replication origin was not required for multiple inserts and partial-repeat structures to form in NIH 3T3 mouse transformants. In contrast, partial repeats in F2408 rat transformants were rare when the SV40 replication origin was intact and not detected at all when it was defective. 相似文献

Irradiation of simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected cells with low fluences of UV light (20 to 60 J/m2, inducing one to three pyrimidine dimers per SV40 genome) causes a dramatic inhibition of viral DNA replication. However, treatment of cells with UV radiation (20 J/m2) before infection with SV40 virus enhances the replication of UV-damaged viral DNA. To investigate the mechanism of this enhancement of replication, we analyzed the kinetics of synthesis and interconversion of viral replicative intermediates synthesized after UV irradiation of SV40-infected cells that had been pretreated with UV radiation. This enhancement did not appear to be due to an expansion of the size of the pool of replicative intermediates after irradiation of pretreated infected cells; the kinetics of incorporation of labeled thymidine into replicative intermediates were very similar after irradiation of infected control and pretreated cells. The major products of replication of SV40 DNA after UV irradiation at the low UV fluences used here were form II molecules with single-stranded gaps (relaxed circular intermediates). There did not appear to be a change in the proportion of these molecules synthesized when cells were pretreated with UV radiation. Thus, it is unlikely that a substantial amount of DNA synthesis occurs past pyrimidine dimers without leaving gaps. This conclusion is supported by the observation that the proportion of newly synthesized SV40 form I molecules that contain pyrimidine dimers was not increased in pretreated cells. Pulse-chase experiments suggested that there is a more efficient conversion of replicative intermediates into form I molecules in pretreated cells. This could be due to more efficient gap filling in relaxed circular intermediate molecules or to the release of blocked replication forks. Alternatively, the enhanced replication observed here may be due to an increase in the excision repair capacity of the pretreated cells. 相似文献
