Physical maps of the genomes of the two newly discovered primate papovaviruses, SA12 and stump-tailed macaque virus (STMV), were generated by restriction endonuclease analysis. The base sequence homologies among the genomes of SA12, stump-tailed macaque virus, and simian virus 40 (SV40) were studied by heteroduplex analysis. Heteroduplexes between SA12 and SV40 DNAs and stump-tailed macaque virus and SV40 DNAs were constructed and mounted for electron microscopy in various amounts of formamide to achieve a range of effective temperatures. At each effective temperature, the regions of duplex DNA in the heteroduplexes were measured and localized on the SV40 physical and functional maps. By analyzing the data from this study and rom our previous study (N. Newell, C. J. Lai, G. Khoury, and T. J. Kelly Jr., J. Virol. 25:193-201, 1978) on the base sequence homology between the genomes of BK virus and SV40, some general conclusions have been drawn concerning the evolutionary relationships among the genomes of the primate papovaviruses. The extent of homology among the viral genomes does not reflect the phylogenetic relationships of their hosts. At comparable effective temperatures Tm - 33 degrees C), the heteroduplexes between the DNAs of BK virus and SV40 contained the largest amount of duplex (about 90%). The heteroduplexes made between SA12 and SV40 DNAs were slightly less homologous, containing about 80% duplex. The heteroduplexes made between SV40 and stump-tailed macaque virus DNAs were only 20% duplex under the same conditions. When the various heteroduplexes were mounted for microscopy at effective temperatures greater than Tm - 33 degrees C, the fraction of the duplex DNA decreased in each case, indicating the existence of considerable base mismatching in the homologous regions. When specific coding or noncoding regions of the viral genomes were compared, the data indicated that the extent of sequence divergence differed markedly from one region to another. In all the heteroduplexes studied, there were two regions, located near the junctions between early and late regions on the SV40 map, which were essentially nonhomologous. All of the heteroduplexes studied showed significantly greater homology in the late region than in early region. Within the late region, the sequences coding for the major capsid polypeptide, VP1, were the most highly conserved. 相似文献

An SV40 "enhancer trap" incorporates exogenous enhancers or generates enhancers from its own sequences 总被引:43,自引:0,他引:43
We have transfected monkey CV-1 cells with non-infectious, linear SV40 DNA, lacking the 72 bp repeat enhancer region. Infectious virus was recovered from this "enhancer trap" upon cotransfection with enhancer DNA segments from various viruses, notably a truncated polyoma enhancer that was integrated as a dimer. Cotransfection of the "enhancer trap" with fragmented DNA of mouse, monkey, or human origin yielded no recombinant virus with integrated cellular sequences, with one possible exception. In some transfection experiments without added viral enhancer DNA, SV40 variants were generated that have a segment of their flanking "late" DNA duplicated to substitute for the deleted 72 bp repeat. In one variant, an 88 bp duplication creates a strong enhancer from this nonenhancing DNA region. Both the polyoma enhancer fragment and the spontaneously created enhancers lack the alternating purines-pyrimidines or "CACA box" suggested to be characteristic for enhancer elements and show only limited homology to the "GTGG(AAATTT)G box." 相似文献

We have constructed a recombinant simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA containing a copy of the Harvey murine sarcoma virus long terminal repeat (LTR). This recombinant viral DNA was converted into an infectious SV40 virus particle and subsequently infected into NIH 3T3 cells (either uninfected or previously infected with Moloney leukemia virus). We found that this hybrid virus, SVLTR1, transforms cells with 10 to 20 times the efficiency of SV40 wild type. Southern blot analysis of these transformed cell genomic DNAs revealed that simple integration of the viral DNA within the retrovirus LTR cannot account for the enhanced transformation of the recombinant virus. A restriction fragment derived from the SVLTR-1 virus which contains an intact LTR was readily identified in a majority of the transformed cell DNAs. These results suggest that the LTR fragment which contains the attachment sites and flanking sequences for the proviral DNA duplex may be insufficient by itself to facilitate correct retrovirus integration and that some other functional element of the LTR is responsible for the increased transformation potential of this virus. We have found that a complete copy of the Harvey murine sarcoma virus LTR linked to well-defined structural genes lacking their own promoters (SV40 early region, thymidine kinase, and G418 resistance) can be effectively used to promote marker gene expression. To determine which element of the LTR served to enhance the biological activity of the recombinant virus described above, we deleted DNA sequences essential for promoter activity within the LTR. SV40 virus stocks reconstructed with this mutated copy of the Harvey murine sarcoma virus LTR still transform mouse cells at an enhanced frequency. We speculate that when the LTR is placed more than 1.5 kilobases from the SV40 early promoter, the cis-acting enhancer element within the LTR can increase the ability of the SV40 promoter to effectively operate when integrated in a murine chromosome. These data are discussed in terms of the apparent cell specificity of viral enhancer elements. 相似文献

We have assayed the ability of segments of the simian virus 40 (SV40) 72-base-pair (bp) repeat enhancer region to activate gene expression under the control of the SV40 early promoter and to compete for trans-acting enhancer-binding factors of limited availability in vivo in monkey CV-1 or human HeLa cells. The bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase and the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase genes were used as reporters in these assays. A 94-bp sequence located between SV40 nucleotides 179 and 272, including one copy of the 72-bp repeat, has been termed the minimal enhancer in previous studies. In the present study, we found that the 20-bp origin-proximal region located between nucleotides 179 and 198 was dispensable, since its removal caused only a slight reduction in enhancer activity. However, the deletion of another 4 bp up to nucleotide 202 abolished the enhancer activity. We propose that the minimal enhancer is a 74-bp sequence located between nucleotides 199 and 272, including 52 bp of one copy of the 72-bp repeat and a 22-bp adjacent sequence up to the PvuII site at 272. The nonamer 5'-AAGT/CATGCA-3', which we term the K core, occurred as a tandem duplication around the SphI site at nucleotide 200, and we found that this duplication was essential for enhancement and factor-binding activities. A heterologous core element (which we term the C core), 5'-GTGGA/TA/TA/TG-3', identified earlier (G. Khoury and P. Gruss, Cell 33:313-314, 1983; Weiher et al., Science 219:626-631, 1983) also occurred in duplicate, with one of the copies located within the 22-bp sequence near nucleotide 272 present outside the 72-bp repeat. We provide direct evidence that this 22-bp sequence augments enhancer activity considerably. We also found that in addition to the heterologous interaction occurring normally between the K and C cores within the minimal enhancer, certain homologous interactions were also permitted provided there was proper spacing between the elements. 相似文献

The efficiency of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication is dependent on the structural organization of the regulatory region. The enhancing effect of the G + C-rich 21-base-pair (bp) repeats on SV40 DNA replication is position and dose dependent and to some extent orientation dependent. The inverted orientation is about 50% as effective as the normal orientation of the 21-bp repeat region. Movement of the 21-bp repeat region 180 or 370 bp upstream of the ori sequence abolishes its enhancing effect, whereas no replication is detected if the 21-bp repeat region is placed downstream of the ori sequence. The dose-dependent enhancement of the 21-bp repeat of SV40 DNA replication as first described in single transfection by Bergsma et al. (D. J. Bergsma, D. M. Olive, S. W. Hartzell, and K. N. Subramanian, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79:381-385, 1982) is dramatically amplified in mixed transfection. In the presence of the 21-bp repeat region, the 72-bp repeat region can enhance SV40 DNA replication. In the presence of the 21-bp repeats and a competitive environment, the 72-bp repeat region exhibits a cis-acting inhibitory effect on SV40 DNA replication. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40) was isolated from the brains of three rhesus monkeys and the kidneys of two other rhesus monkeys with simian immunodeficiency virus-induced immunodeficiency. A striking feature of these five cases was the tissue specificity of the SV40 replication. SV40 was also isolated from the kidney of a Taiwanese rock macaque with immunodeficiency probably caused by type D retrovirus infection. Multiple full-length clones were derived from all six fresh SV40 isolates, and two separate regions of their genomes were sequenced: the origin (ori)-enhancer region and the coding region for the carboxy terminus of T antigen (T-ag). None of the 23 clones analyzed had two 72-bp enhancer elements as are present in the commonly used laboratory strain 776 of SV40; 22 of these 23 clones were identical in their ori-enhancer sequences, and these had only a single 72-bp enhancer element. We found no evidence for differences in ori-enhancer sequences associated with tissue-specific SV40 replication. The T-ag coding sequence that was analyzed was identical in all clones from kidney. However, significant variation was observed in the carboxy-terminal region of T-ag in SV40 isolated from brain tissues. This sequence variation was located in a region previously reported to be responsible for SV40 host range in cultured cell lines. Thus, SV40 appears to be an opportunistic pathogen in the setting of simian immunodeficiency virus-induced immunodeficiency, similarly to JC virus in human immunodeficiency virus-infected humans, the enhancer sequence organization generally attributed to SV40 is not representative of natural SV40 isolates, and sequence variation near the carboxy terminus of T-ag may play a role in tissue-specific replication of SV40. 相似文献

From nonimmunocompromised individuals, we have recently identified a possible archetypal JC virus DNA sequence from which various regulatory sequences of JC virus isolates derived from patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) could have evolved. In this study, we analyzed the regulatory sequences of JCV DNAs cloned from urine samples of a PML risk group (renal transplant patients on immunosuppressive therapy). A number of JC virus DNAs were molecularly cloned from virions excreted in the urine of eight patients. Furthermore, fragments containing the regulatory region were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and subsequently molecularly cloned from cell-associated JC virus excreted in the urine of two patients. The regulatory regions in all clones were analyzed with restriction enzymes, and those in representative clones were sequenced. We found that clones with the archetypal regulatory sequence were predominant in all urine samples, but a few clones carried regulatory sequences that diverged from the archetypal sequence by deletion or duplication. The finding that sequence rearrangement in the archetypal regulatory region occurs in the course of infection in immunosuppressed hosts is consistent with the adaptation hypothesis which has been put forward to explain the divergence of the regulatory regions in PML-derived JC virus isolates. 相似文献

Hybrid viral genomes were used to investigate the influence of specific polyomavirus sequences on the transforming behavior of JC virus (JCV). One set of chimeric DNAs was made by exchanging the regulatory regions between JCV and simian virus 40 (SV40) or JCV and BK virus (BKV). A second set of constructs was produced that expressed hybrid JCV-BKV T proteins under the control of either JCV or BKV regulatory signals. Transformation of Rat 2 cells with the parental and chimeric DNAs indicated that both the JCV regulatory signals and the sequence encoding the amino terminus of T protein contributed to the restricted transforming behavior of this virus. Analysis of the viral proteins in the transformed rat cells indicated that the large T antigens of JCV and BKV were less stable than their SV40 counterpart, that small t protein was produced in JCV transformants, and that the subpopulation of T antigen that forms a stable complex with cellular p53 protein was smaller in JCV-transformed cells than in SV40- or BKV-transformed cells. 相似文献

Summary Infectious SV40 virions could be rescued from permissive TC7 cells within one to three subcultures following cotransfection with two cellular DNAs, each containing a complementary portion of the SV40 genome. SV40 virions could also be rescued by transfection of TC7 cells with cellular DNAs from a variety of SV40 transformed cells containing complete genome equivalents but not from cells containing subgenomes alone or defective genomes. Infectious virus was not rescued if the transfecting DNA species was treated with DNAase or if the DEAE-dextran pretreatment of the recipient cells was omitted.deceased 相似文献

Rearrangements of the JC virus (JCV) regulatory region (RR) are consistently found in the brains of patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), whereas the archetype RR is present in their kidneys. In addition, the C terminus of the large T antigen (T-Ag) shows greater variability in PML than does the rest of the coding region. To determine whether similar changes in simian virus 40 (SV40) are necessary for disease induction in monkeys, we sequenced the SV40 RR and the C terminus of the T-Ag from the brain of simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV)-infected monkey 18429, which presented spontaneously with an SV40-associated PML-like disease, as well as from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), kidneys, and brains of SV40-seronegative, SHIV-infected monkeys 21289 and 21306, which were inoculated with the 18429 brain SV40 isolate. These animals developed both SV40-associated PML and meningoencephalitis. Thirteen types of SV40 RR were characterized. Compared to the SV40 archetype, we identified RRs with variable deletions in either the origin of replication, the 21-bp repeat elements, or the late promoter, as well as deletions or duplications of the 72-bp enhancer. The archetype was the most prominent RR in the brain of monkey 18429. Shortly after inoculation, a wide range of RRs could be found in the PBMC of monkeys 21289 and 21306. However, the archetype RR became the predominant type in their blood, kidneys, and brains at the time of sacrifice. On the contrary, the T-Ag C termini remained identical in all compartments of the three animals. These results indicate that unlike JCV in humans, rearrangements of SV40 RR are not required for brain disease induction in immunosuppressed monkeys. 相似文献

The papovavirus JC virus (JCV) is highly oncogenic in experimental animals but, unlike simian virus 40 (SV40), is severely restricted in its ability to transform cells in culture. We exploited the close genetic relatedness of these two viruses to delimit region(s) of the T protein which can restrict transforming activity. Novel chimeric genomes were produced by exchanging various segments of the JCV and SV40 T-protein-coding regions. These DNA constructs specified early proteins with in-frame substitutions of analogous amino acid sequences. A second set of genomes was prepared which, in addition to chimeric early proteins, contained substituted regulatory regions. The transformation efficiencies of these chimeric genomes were intermediate between those of SV40 and JCV, with the source of T protein exerting a greater effect than that of the regulatory region. The ability of certain constructs to induce efficient transformation required the presence of an SV40 regulatory region or specific sequences within the SV40 early coding region. Cloned cell lines prepared from representative transformants were characterized; the ability to form colonies in soft agarose was investigated, and the presence of viral T and cellular p53 proteins was determined. The various T proteins differed in amount, stability, and the ability to form stable complexes with p53. 相似文献
