Non-specific termination of simian virus 40 DNA replication. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Axial X-ray diffraction patterns have been studied from relaxed, contracted and rigor vertebrate striated muscles at different sarcomere lengths to determine which features of the patterns depend on the interaction of actin and myosin. The intensity of the myosin layer lines in a live, relaxed muscle is sometimes less in a stretched muscle than in the muscle at rest-length; the intensity depends not only on the sarcomere length but on the time that has elapsed since dissection of the muscle. The movement of cross-bridges giving rise to these intensity changes are not caused solely by the withdrawal of actin from the A-band.When a muscle contracts or passes into rigor many changes occur that are independent of the sarcomere length: the myosin layer lines decrease in intensity to about 30% of their initial value when the muscle contracts, and disappear completely when the muscle passes into rigor. Both in contracting and rigor muscles at all sarcomere lengths the spacings of the meridional reflections at 143 Å and 72 Å are 1% greater than from a live relaxed muscle at rest-length. It is deduced that the initial movement of cross-bridges from their positions in resting muscle does not depend on the interaction of each cross-bridge with actin, but on a conformational change in the backbone of the myosin filament: occurring as a result of activation. The possibility is discussed that the conformational change occurs because the myosin filament, like the actin filament, has an activation control mechanism. Finally, all the X-ray diffraction patterns are interpreted on a model in which the myosin filament can exist in one of two possible states: a relaxed state which gives a diffraction pattern with strong myosin layer lines and an axial spacing of 143.4 Å, and an activated state which gives no layer lines but a meridional spacing of 144.8 Å. 相似文献

Applying an in situ cell fractionation procedure, we analyzed structural systems of the cell nucleus for the presence of mature and replicating simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA. Replicating SV40 DNA intermediates were tightly and quantitatively associated with the nuclear matrix, indicating that elongation processes of SV40 DNA replication proceed at this structure. Isolated nuclei as well as nuclear matrices were able to continue SV40 DNA elongation under replication conditions in situ, arguing for a coordinated and functional association of SV40 DNA and large T molecules at nuclear structures. SV40 DNA replication also was terminated at the nuclear matrix. While the bulk of newly synthesized, mature SV40 DNA molecules then remained at this structure, some left the nuclear matrix and accumulated at the chromatin. 相似文献

Exogenously added simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA can be replicated semiconservatively in vitro by a mixture of a soluble extract of HeLa cell nuclei and the cytoplasm from SV40-infected CosI cells. When cloned DNA was used as a template, the clone containing the SV40 origin of DNA replication was active, but a clone lacking the SV40 origin was inactive. The major products of the in vitro reaction were form I and form II SV40 DNAs and a small amount of form III. DNA synthesis in extracts began at or near the in vivo origin of SV40 DNA synthesis and proceeded bidirectionally. The reaction was inhibited by the addition of anti-large T hamster serum, aphidicolin, or RNase but not by ddNTP. Furthermore, this system was partially reconstituted between HeLa nuclear extract and the semipurified SV40 T antigen instead of the CosI cytoplasm. It is clear from these two systems that the proteins containing SV40 T antigen change the nonspecific repair reaction performed by HeLa nuclear extract alone to the specific semiconservative DNA replication reaction. These results show that these in vitro systems closely resemble SV40 DNA replication in vivo and provide an assay that should be useful for the purification and subsequent characterization of viral and cellular proteins involved in DNA replication. 相似文献

We have analyzed the structural characteristics of simian virus 40 replicative intermediate DNA produced after UV irradiation and the kinetics of conversion of this intermediate DNA into form I DNA. Replicative intermediate DNA isolated at 30 or 60 min after UV irradiation consists primarily of two species of molecules that sediment in neutral sucrose gradients as either Cairns theta structures or relaxed monomeric circles. Replication forks on the Cairns intermediate DNA are symmetrically located with respect to the origin of replication, ruling out the possibility of asymmetric pauses or blocks to replication fork progression at damage sites. The relaxed circles contain at least one randomly located discontinuity in the daughter strand. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that a UV fluence-dependent fraction of the Cairns intermediate DNA progresses through the relaxed circular intermediate before being converted to completed form I molecules. Disappearance of Cairns intermediate DNA occurs at the same rate in irradiated and unirradiated cells, whereas completion of the relaxed circular intermediate DNA occurs at a slow rate, relatively independent of UV fluence. These data support a model for replication of UV-damaged DNA in which replication rapidly continues past damage sites via a gap formation event. 相似文献

To analyze the proposed growth-inhibitory function of wild-type p53, we compared simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in primary rhesus monkey kidney (PRK) cells, which express wild-type p53, and in the established rhesus monkey kidney cell line LLC-MK2, which expresses a mutated p53 that does not complex with large T antigen. SV40 DNA replication proceeded identically in both cell types during the course of infection. Endogenously expressed wild-type p53 thus does not negatively modulate SV40 DNA replication in vivo. We suggest that inhibition of SV40 DNA replication by wild-type p53 in in vitro replication assays is due to grossly elevated ratios of p53 to large T antigen, thus depleting the replication-competent free large T antigen in the assay mixtures by complex formation. In contrast, the ratio of p53 to large T antigen in in vivo replication is low, leaving the majority of large T antigen in a free, replication-competent state. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected CV1 cells exposed to hypoxia show an inhibition of viral replication. Reoxygenation after several hours of hypoxia results in new initiations followed by a nearly synchronous round of SV40 replication. In this communication, we examined the effect of glucose on inhibition of viral DNA replication under hypoxia. We found that glucose stimulated SV40 DNA replication under hypoxia in two different ways. First, the rate of DNA synthesis, i.e. the fork propagation rate, increased. This effect seemed to be mediated by inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by glucose (Crabtree effect). Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration probably resulted in a higher intracellular oxygen concentration and an activation of oxygen-dependent ribonucleotide reductase, which provides the precursors for DNA synthesis. This glucose effect was consequently strongly dependent on the strength of hypoxia and the extent of intracellular respiration; hypoxic gassing with 10 ppm instead of 200-400 ppm O(2) or treatment of hypoxic cells with a mitochondrial uncoupler (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) reduced the glucose effect on replication, whereas antimycin A, an inhibitor of respiration, increased it. The second effect of glucose concerned initiation, i.e. stimulation of unwinding of the viral origin. This effect was not influenced by the strength of hypoxia or the extent of cellular respiration and seemed, therefore, not to be mediated through a Crabtree effect. No evidence for a direct correlation between the cellular ATP concentration and the extent of SV40 replication under hypoxia was found. The effect of glucose on replication under hypoxia was not restricted to SV40-infected CV1 cells but was also detectable in HeLa cells. This suggests it to be a mechanism of more general validity. 相似文献

Essentially all of the Okazaki fragments on replicating Simian virus 40 (SV40)DNA could be grouped into one of three classes. Class I Okazaki fragments (about 20%) were separated from longer nascent DNA chains by a single phosphodiester bond interruption (nick) and were quantitatively identified by treating purified replicating DNA with Escherichia coli DNA ligase and then measuring the fraction of Okazaki fragments joined to longer nascent DNA chains. Similarly, class II Okazaki fragments (about 30%) were separated by a region of single-stranded DNA template (gap) that could be filled and sealed by T4 DNA polymerase plus E. coli DNA ligase, and class III fragments (about 50%) were separated by RNA primers that could be removed with E. coli DNA olymerase I, allowing the fragments to be joined with E. coli DNA ligase. These results were obtained with replicating SV40 DNA that had been briefly labeled with radioactive precursors in either intact cells or isolated nuclei. When isolated nuclei were further incubated in the presence of cytosol, all of the Okazaki fragments were converted into longer DNA strands as expected for intermediates in DNA synthesis. However, when washed nuclei were incubated in the abscence of cytosol, both class I and class II Okazaki fragments accumulated despite the excision of RNA primers: class III Okazaki fragments and RNA-DNA covalent linkages both disappeared at similar rates. These data demonstrate the existence of RNA primers in whole cells as well as in isolated nuclei, and identify a unique gap-filling step that is not simply an extension of the DNA chain elongation process concomitant with the excision of RNA primers. One or more factos found in cytosol, in addition to DNA polymerase alpha, are specifically involved in the gap-filling and ligation steps. The sizes of mature Okazaki fragments (class I) and Okazaki fragments whose synthesis was completed by T4 DNA polymerase were measured by gel electrophoresis and found to be broadly distributed between 40 and 290 nucleotides with an average length of 135 nucleotides. Since 80% and 90% of the Okazaments does not occur at uniformly spaced intervals along the DNA template. During the excision of RNA primers, nascent DNA chains with a single ribonucleotide covalently attached to the 5' terminus were identified as transient intermediates. These intermediates accumulated during excision of RNA primers in the presence of adenine 9-beta-D-arabinoside 5'-triphosphate, and those Okazaki fragments blocked by RNA primers (class III) were found to have originated the farthest from the 5' ends of long nascent DNA strands. Thus, RNA primers appear to be excised in two steps with the second step, removal of the final ribonucleotide, being stimulated by concomitant DNA synthesis. These and other data were used to construct a comprehensive metabolic pathway for the initiation, elongation, and maturation of Okazaki fragments at mammalian DNA replication forks. 相似文献

Studies of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vitro have identified a small (approximately 30-nucleotide) RNA-DNA hybrid species termed primer-DNA. Initial experiments indicated that T antigen and the polymerase alpha-primase complex are required to form primer-DNA. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and presumably proliferating cell nuclear antigen-dependent polymerases, is not needed to form this species. Herein, we present an investigation of the stages at which primer-DNA functions during SV40 DNA replication in vitro. Hybridization studies indicate that primer-DNA is initially formed in the origin region and is subsequently synthesized in regions distal to the origin. At all time points, primer-DNA is synthesized from templates for lagging-strand DNA replication. These studies indicate that primer-DNA functions during both initiation and elongation stages of SV40 DNA synthesis. Results of additional experiments suggesting a precursor-product relationship between formation of primer-DNA and Okazaki fragments are presented. 相似文献

DNA polymerase alpha-primase (pol-prim), a complex consisting of four subunits, is the major species-specific factor for mouse polyomavirus (PyV) and simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication. Although p48 is the most conserved subunit of pol-prim, it is required for in vitro PyV DNA replication but can inhibit cell-free SV40 DNA replication. Production of chimeric human-mouse p48 revealed that different regions of p48 are involved in supporting PyV DNA replication and inhibiting SV40 DNA replication. The N and C-terminal parts of p48 do not have species-specific functions in cell-free PyV DNA replication, but the central part (amino acids [aa] 129 to 320) controls PyV DNA replication in vitro. However, PyV T antigen physically binds to mouse, human, and chimeric pol-prim complexes independently, whether they support PyV DNA replication or not. In contrast to the PyV system, the inhibitory effects of mouse p48 on SV40 DNA replication are mediated by N- and C-terminal regions of p48. Thus, a chimeric p48 containing human aa 1 to 128, mouse aa 129 to 320, and human aa 321 to 418 is active in both PyV and SV40 DNA replication in vitro. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40)-containing DNA was rescued after the fusion of SV40-transformed VLM cells with permissive COS1 monkey cells and cloned, and prototype plasmid clones were characterized. A 2-kilobase mouse DNA fragment fused with the rescued SV40 DNA, and derived from mouse DNA flanking the single insert of SV40 DNA in VLM cells, was sequenced. Insertion of the intact rescued mouse sequence, or two nonoverlapping fragments of it, into wild-type SV40 plasmid DNA suppressed replication of the plasmid in TC7 monkey cells, although the plasmids expressed replication-competent T antigen. Rat cells were transformed with linearized wild-type SV40 plasmid DNA with or without fragments of the mouse DNA in cis. Although all of the rat cell lines expressed approximately equal amounts of T antigen and p53, transformants carrying SV40 DNA linked to either of the same two replication suppressor fragments produced significantly less free SV40 DNA after fusion with permissive cells than those transformed by SV40 DNA without a cellular insert or with a cellular insert lacking suppressor activity. The results suggest that two independent segments of cellular DNA act in cis to suppress SV40 replication in vivo, either as a plasmid or integrated in chromosomal DNA. 相似文献

Insertion of DNA segments into the nuclease-sensitive region of simian virus 40 alters both replication efficiency and chromatin structure. Mutants containing large insertions between the simian virus 40 origin of replication (ori site) and the 21-base-pair repeated sequences replicated poorly when assayed by transfection into COS-1 cells. Replication of mutants with shorter insertions was moderately reduced. This effect was cis-acting and independent of the nucleotide sequence of the insert. The nuclease-sensitive chromatin structure was retained in these mutants, but the pattern of cleavage sites was displaced in the late direction from the ori site. New cleavage sites appeared within the inserted sequences, suggesting that information specifying the nuclease-sensitive chromatin structure is located on the late side of the inserts. Accessibility to BglI (which cleaves within the ori site) was reduced in the larger insertion mutants. These results support the conclusion that efficient function of the viral origin of replication is correlated with its proximity to an altered chromatin structure. 相似文献

Human cell extracts support the replication of SV40 DNA, whereas mouse cell extracts do not. Species specificity is determined at the level of initiation of DNA replication, and it was previously found that this requires the large subunit, p180, of DNA polymerase alpha-primase to be of human origin. Furthermore, a functional interaction between SV40 large T antigen (TAg) and p180 is essential for viral DNA replication. In this study we determined that the N-terminal regions of human p180, which contain the TAg-binding sites, can be replaced with those of murine origin without losing the ability to support SV40 DNA replication in vitro. The same substitutions do not prevent SV40 TAg from stimulating the activity of DNA polymerase alpha-primase on single-stranded DNA in the presence of replication protein A. Furthermore, biophysical studies show that the interactions of human and murine DNA polymerase alpha-primase with SV40 TAg are of a similar magnitude. These studies strongly suggest that requirement of SV40 DNA replication for human DNA polymerase alpha depends neither on the TAg-binding site being of human origin nor on the strength of the binary interaction between SV40 TAg and DNA polymerase alpha-primase but rather on sequences in the C-terminal region of human p180. 相似文献
