Translation of mRNA from Simian Virus 40-Infected Cells into Simian Virus 40 Capsid Protein by Cell-Free Extracts 总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3
Messenger RNA was isolated from simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected and mock-infected cells by chromatography on poly(U) sepharose. When added to cell-free extracts from Chinese hamster ovary cells or rabbit reticulocytes, RNA from the infected cells, but not from mock-infected cells, stimulated synthesis of the major SV40 capsid protein. Identification of this species was done by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, peptide mapping, and immunoprecipitation. The in vitro synthesized capsid protein was slightly different from virion assembled capsid protein, as shown by separation upon chromatography on hydroxylapatite and by minor differences in the peptide map. 相似文献

Treatment of monkey kidney cells with mitomycin C (MMC) 24 h prior to infection with UV-irradiated simian virus 40 (SV40) enhanced both virus survival and virus mutagenesis. The use of SV40 as a biological probe has been taken as an easy method to analyse SOS response of mammalian cells to the stress caused by DNA damage or inhibition of DNA replication. The mutation assay we used was based on the reversion from a temperature-sensitive phenotype (tsA58 mutant) to a wild-type phenotype. The optimal conditions for producing enhanced survival and mutagenesis in the virus progeny were determined with regard to the multiplicity of infection (MOI). Results showed that the level of enhanced mutagenesis observed for UV-irradiated virus grown in MMC-treated cells was an inverse function of the MOI, while enhanced survival was observed at nearly the same level regardless of the MOI. For the unirradiated virus, almost no increase in the mutation of virus progeny issued from MMC-treated cells was observed, while a small amount of enhanced virus survival was obtained. These results show that enhanced virus mutagenesis and enhanced virus survival can be dissociated under some experimental conditions. Enhanced virus mutagenesis, analogous to the error-prone replication of phages in SOS-induced bacteria, was observed, at least for SV40, only when DNA of both virus and host cells was damaged and when infection occurred with a small number of viral particles. We therefore hypothesize that an error-prone replication mode of UV-damaged templates is observed in induced monkey kidney cells. 相似文献

In vitro initiation of DNA replication in simian virus 40 chromosomes 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

A soluble system has been developed that can initiate DNA replication de novo in simian virus 40 (SV40) chromatin isolated from virus-infected monkey cells as well as in circular plasmid DNA containing a functional SV40 origin of replication (ori). Initiation of DNA replication in SV40 chromatin required the soluble fraction from a high-salt nuclear extract of SV40-infected cells, a low-salt cytosol fraction, polyethylene glycol, and a buffered salts solution containing all four standard deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. Purified SV40 large tumor antigen (T-ag) partially substituted for the high-salt nucleosol, and monoclonal antibodies directed against SV40 T-ag inhibited DNA replication. Replication began at ori and proceeded bidirectionally to generate replicating DNA intermediates in which the parental strands remained covalently closed, as observed in vivo. Partial inhibition of DNA synthesis by aphidicolin resulted in accumulation of newly initiated replicating intermediates in this system, a phenomenon not observed under conditions that supported completion of replication only. However, conditions that were optimal for initiation of replication repressed conversion of late-replicating intermediates into circular DNA monomers. Most surprising was the observation that p-n-butylphenyl-dGTP, a potent and specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase-alpha, failed to inhibit replication of SV40 chromatin under conditions that completely inhibited replication of plasmid DNA containing the SV40 ori and either purified or endogenous DNA polymerase-alpha activity. In contrast, all of these DNA synthesis activities were inhibited equally by aphidicolin. Therefore, DNA replication in mammalian cells is carried out either by DNA polymerase-alpha that bears a unique association with chromatin or by a different enzyme such as DNA polymerase-delta. 相似文献

Lytic infection of African green monkey kidney (CV-1) cells by simian virus 40 (SV40) is characterized by stimulation of DNA synthesis leading to bypass of mitosis and replication of cellular and viral DNA beyond a 4C DNA content. To define mechanisms underlying the absence of mitosis, the expression levels of upstream regulatory molecules of mitosis-promoting factor (MPF) were compared in parallel synchronized cultures of SV40-infected and uninfected CV-1 cells. The DNA replication/damage checkpoint kinase Chk1 was phosphorylated in both uninfected and SV40-infected cultures arrested at G(1)/S by mimosine, consistent with checkpoint activation. Following release of uninfected cultures from G(1)/S, Chk1 phosphorylation was lost even though Chk1 protein levels were retained. In contrast, G(1)/S-released SV40-infected cultures exhibited dephosphorylation of Chk1 in S phase, followed by an increase in Chk1 phosphorylation coinciding with entry of infected cells into >G(2). Inhibitors of Chk1, UCN-01 and caffeine, induced mitosis and abnormal nuclear condensation and increased the protein kinase activity of MPF in SV40-infected CV-1 cells. These results demonstrate that SV40 lytic infection triggers components of a DNA damage checkpoint pathway. In addition, chemical inhibition of Chk1 activity suggests that Chk1 contributes to the absence of mitosis during SV40 lytic infection. 相似文献

The replication of simian virus 40 (SV40) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was inhibited by 99% 2 hr after the addition of cycloheximide to SV40-infected primary African green monkey kidney cells. The levels of 25S (replicating) and 21S (mature) SV40 DNA synthesized after cycloheximide treatment were always lower than those observed in an infected untreated control culture. This is consistent with a requirement for a protein(s) or for protein synthesis at the initiation step in SV40 DNA replication. The relative proportion of 25S DNA as compared with 21S viral DNA increased with increasing time after cycloheximide treatment. Removal of cycloheximide from inhibited cultures allowed the recovery of viral DNA synthesis to normal levels within 3 hr. During the recovery period, the ratio of 25S DNA to 21S DNA was 10 times higher than that observed after a 30-min pulse with (3)H-thymidine with an infected untreated control culture. The accumulation of 25S replicating SV40 DNA during cycloheximide inhibition or shortly after its removal is interpreted to mean that a protein(s) or protein synthesis is required to convert the 25S replicating DNA to 21S mature viral DNA. Further evidence of a requirement for protein synthesis in the 25S to 21S conversion was obtained by comparing the rate of this conversion in growing and resting cells. The conversion of 25S DNA to 21S DNA took place at a faster rate in infected growing cells than in infected confluent monolayer cultures. A temperature-sensitive SV40 coat protein mutation (large-plaque SV40) had no effect on the replication of SV40 DNA at the nonpermissive temperature. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 rapidly lowers cAMP levels in mouse cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A Rein R A Carchman G S Johnson I Pastan 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1973,52(3):899-904
The addition of SV40 to contact inhibited cells causes a 2-fold decrease in intracellular cAMP levels. The levels reach a minimum 3 hours after virus addition, and after a few hours begin to rise toward normal. No significant changes in cAMP levels are observed after cells are exposed to UV-inactivated virus or are mock-infected. This is the earliest known effect of SV40 infection. We propose that SV40 induces host DNA synthesis by lowering cAMP levels. 相似文献

Infectious deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from green monkey kidney (CV-1) cultures at various times after the cultures were infected with simian virus 40 (SV40) at input multiplicities of 0.01 and 0.1 plaque-forming unit (PFU) per cell. A pronounced decrease in infectious DNA was observed from 3 to 16 hr after virus infection, suggesting that structurally altered intracellular forms may have been generated early in infection. Evidence is also presented that SV40 DNA synthesis requires concurrent protein synthesis. DNA replication was studied in the presence and absence of cycloheximide in: (i) SV40-infected and uninfected cultures of CV-1 cells; (ii) cultures synchronized with 1-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C) for 24 to 30 hr prior to the addition of cycloheximide; and (iii) in heterokaryons of SV40-transformed hamster and susceptible monkey kidney cells. DNA synthesis was determined by pulse-labeling the cultures with 3H-thymidine at various times from 24 to 46 hr after infection. In addition, the total infectious SV40 DNA was measured. Addition of cycloheximide, even after early proteins had been induced, grossly inhibited both SV40 and cellular DNA syntheses. The activities of thymidine kinase, DNA polymerase, deoxycytidylate deaminase, and thymidylate kinase were measured; these enzyme activities remained high for at least 9 hr in the presence of cycloheximide. SV40 DNA prelabeled with 3H-thymidine before the addition of cycloheximide was also relatively stable during the time required for cycloheximide to inhibit further DNA replication. 相似文献

Phenotypic complementation of the SV40 tsA mutant defect in viral DNA synthesis following microinjection of SV40 T antigen. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
African green monkey cells (CV-1P) were microinjected with highly purified SV40 T antigen using protein-loaded red cell ghosts and polyethylene glycol as fusagen. The microinjected cells were infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of SV40 (tsA209) which is defective in the initiation of viral DNA synthesis. Using in situ hybridization as an assay method, we found that PEG-microinjection of both partially and highly purified T antigen resulted in an increase in the amount of viral DNA sequences in the monolayer. Moreover, 3H-thymidine-labeled and unlabeled Hirt supernatant from microinjected, tsA209-injected cells contained significantly more SV40 DNA than comparable extracts from sham-injected, tsA209-infected or uninfected cells, which were tested in parallel. Thus the introduction of highly purified, "large" SV40 T antigen led to phenotypic complementation of the tsA defect in viral DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Pretreatment of African green monkey kidney cells with 50 mu g of 5'-iododeoxyruidine (IUdR) per ml can modify their susceptibility to the replication of human adenovirus type 7 in the absence of simian virus 40 (SV40) although this enhancement of adenovirus replication is not as efficient as that of the helper SV40 virus. Since the number of infectious centers remains unchanged after IUdR pretreatment whereas the burst size of virus from each infected cell increases, the IUdR appears to allow each infected cell to produce more virus. Cell DNA synthesis appears to be stimulated in IUdR pretreated cells infected with adenovirus 7, but the host cell DNA synthesized is small enough to remain in the Hirt supernatant fluid. The modification of susceptibility to adenovirus replication and the changed pattern of cell DNA synthesis is stable for at least two additional cell passages of the pretreated cells. 相似文献

Viral DNA synthesis was inhibited for 1 h by the addition of 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (FUdR) to simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected cultures at 28 to 30 h postinfection. The subsequent addition of (3)H-thymidine to the inhibited cultures reverses the effect of the inhibitor, and during a 1-min labeling period there is rapid synthesis of SV40 DNA. By alkaline sedimentation analysis, it is observed that in FUdR-treated cultures there is synthesis of 4S SV40 DNA intermediates but there is a block in the joining of these intermediates to growing SV40 chain cultures. In addition to 4S fragments that are associated with replicating SV40 molecules, there is accumulation of SV40 DNA in the 6 to 8S region which is observed in neutral sucrose gradients. In an inhibited culture that is pulsed for 1 min with (3)H-thymidine and then chased for 10 min, accumulation of a Component II (Comp. II)-like material is observed. This Comp. II has the same neutral sedimentation characteristics and yields the same R(I) restriction endonuclease product as does authentic Comp. II. However, in alkali it is seen that it is composed of fragmented SV40 DNA. The basis for the failure of 4S fragments to join to growing SV40 chains is discussed. A model in which there is a requirement for two DNA polymerases and a ligase to permit SV40 DNA chain growth is proposed which is consistent with the data presented. 相似文献

Viral nucleoprotein complexes were extracted from the nuclei of simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected TC7 cells by low-salt treatment in the absence of detergent, followed by sedimentation on neutral sucrose gradients. Two forms of SV40 nucleoprotein complexes, those containing SV40 replicative intermediate DNA and those containing SV40 (I) DNA, were separated from one another and were found to have sedimentation values of 125 and 93S, respectively. [(35)S]methioninelabeled proteins in the nucleoprotein complexes were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition to VP1, VP3, and histones, a protein with a molecular weight of 100,000 (100K) is present in the nucleoprotein complexes containing SV40 (I) DNA. The 100K protein was confirmed as SV40 100K T antigen, both by immunoprecipitation with SV40 anti-T serum and by tryptic peptide mapping. The 100K T antigen is predominantly associated with the SV40 (I) DNA-containing complexes. The 17K T antigen, however, is not associated with the SV40 (I) DNA-containing nucleoprotein complexes. The functional significance of the SV40 100K T antigen in the SV40 (I) DNA-containing nucleoprotein complexes was examined by immunoprecipitation of complexes from tsA58-infected TC7 cells. The 100K T antigen is present in nucleoprotein complexes extracted from cells grown at the permissive temperature but is clearly absent from complexes extracted from cells grown at the permissive temperature and shifted up to the nonpermissive temperature for 1 h before extraction, suggesting that the association of the 100K T antigen with the SV40 nucleoprotein complexes is involved in the initiation of SV40 DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Reinitiation of host DNA synthesis in senescent human diploid cells by infection with simian virus 40 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Human diploid fibroblasts, TIG-1, cease to proliferate at about 60-62 population doubling level. In their senescent state used in this study, the percentage of nuclei labeled by [3H]thymidine for 48 h was around 1-2% in fresh medium containing 5-40% fetal bovine serum. The percentage of labelled nuclei increased up to 10-fold after infection with SV40. This increase reflects stimulation of cell DNA synthesis because: 1. The increase also occurred when ts A900 was used for infection at the non-permissive temperature, under these conditions viral DNA synthesis is inhibited; 2, the increase paralleled the stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA in a Hirt-precipitate fraction from SV40-infected cells. UV-irradiated SV40 had reduced ability to induce DNA synthesis. A viable deletion mutant of SV40, d1940, had almost the same activity to induce cell DNA synthesis as did wild-type SV40. Equilibrium density gradient centrifugation analysis of DNA labelled with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) supported semiconservative replication rather than repair synthesis. We conclude that a considerable fraction of human diploid cells in a senescent population initiate host DNA replication by infection with SV40, although these cells cannot be stimulated with fetal bovine serum. 相似文献

Mouse cells transformed by simian virus 40 (SV40) have been shown to contain a complex of the virus-coded large-T antigen with a host 53,000-molecular-weight (53K) protein. Initial attempts to detect a similar complex in lytically infected cells were unsuccessful, and it therefore seemed that the complex might be peculiar to transformed or abortively transformed nonpermissive cells. Immunoprecipitation of [32P]phosphate-labeled extracts of SV40-infected CV-1 African green monkey kidney cells with antibodies specific for large-T or the 53K protein revealed that the large-T-53K protein complex was formed during lytic infections. Only a minor fraction of the large-T present was associated with 53K protein, and large-T and the 53K host protein cosedimented during centrifugation through sucrose gradients. We used monospecific sera and monoclonal antibodies to study the rate of synthesis and phosphorylation of the 53K protein during lytic infections. Infection of CV-1 cells with SV40 increased the rate of synthesis of the 53K protein fivefold over that in mock-infected cells. At the same time, the rate of phosphorylation of the 53K protein increased more than 30-fold compared with control cultures. Monkey cells transformed by UV-irradiated SV40 (Gluzman et al., J. Virol. 22:256-266, 1977) also contained the large-T-53K protein complex. The formation of the complex is therefore not a peculiarity of SV40-transformed rodent cells but is a common feature of SV40 infections. 相似文献

ADP-ribosyltransferase activity associated with chromatin is two- to tenfold higher in simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed cells than in untransformed cells. When confluent transformed cells were subcultured, their specific enzyme activity first decreased two- to fourfold and the rapidly increased during the logarithmic phase of growth. This increase ceased or slowed down when the cells entered the stationary phase. In contrast, the activity in the untransformed cells remained low throughout the growth cycle. In SV40tsA-transformed cells (ts = temperature sensitive), this density-dependent increase in the enzyme activity was observed when the cells were cultivated at the permissive temperature, whereas the activity remained low at the restrictive temperature. The enzyme activity did not increase during induction of cellular DNA synthesis in quiescent cells either by addition of fresh medium or by infection with SV40. The chromatin-associated enzyme activity extracted with 1 m NaCl was eluted together with almost all the DNA-binding proteins from a phosphocellulose column with 0.6 m NaCl. The enzyme activity in this fraction from transformed cells, measured with or without added DNA and histones, was higher than that in a similar fraction from untransformed cells, reflecting the difference in the original activities present in the nuclei of these cells. The chain lengths of poly(ADP-ribose) formed by chromatin from SV40-transformed and untransformed cells were not significantly different. These results suggest that the number of initiation sites for ADP-ribosylation is increased in the chromatin of SV40-transformed cells compared to that of untransformed cells. 相似文献

HeLa cells infected with the nondefective adenovirus 2 (Ad2)-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid viruses (Ad2(+)ND1, Ad2(+)ND2, Ad2(+)ND4, and Ad2(+)ND5) synthesize SV40-specific proteins ranging in size from 28,000 to 100,000 daltons. By analysis of their methionine-containing tryptic peptides, we demonstrated that all these proteins shared common amino acid sequences. Most methionine-containing tryptic peptides derived from proteins of smaller size were contained within the proteins of larger size. Seventeen of the 21 methionine-containing tryptic peptides of the largest SV40-specific protein (100,000 daltons) from Ad2(+)ND4-infected cells were identical to methionine-containing peptides of SV40 T-antigen immunoprecipitated from extracts of SV40-infected cells. All of the methionine-containing tryptic peptides of the Ad2(+)ND4 100,000-dalton protein were found in SV40 T-antigen immunoprecipitated from SV40-transformed cells. All SV40-specific proteins observed in vivo could be synthesized in vitro using the wheat germ cell-free system and SV40-specific RNA from hybrid virus-infected cells that was purified by hybridization to SV40 DNA. As proof of identity, the in vitro products were shown to have methionine-containing tryptic peptides identical to those of their in vivo counterparts. Based on the extensive overlap in amino acid sequence between the SV40-specific proteins from hybrid virus-infected cells and SV40 T-antigen from SV40-infected and -transformed cells, we conclude that at least the major portion of the SV40-specific proteins cannot be Ad2 coded. From the in vitro synthesis experiments with SV40-selected RNA, we further conclude that the SV40-specific proteins must be SV40 coded and not host coded. Since SV40 T-antigen is related to the SV40-specific proteins, it must also be SV40 coded. 相似文献

The incorporation of (3)H-thymidine ((3)H-dT) into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been studied in uninfected confluent monolayer cultures of monkey kidney and mouse kidney cells, simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected cells, and in SV40-transformed mouse kidney cells. Radioautographic measurements revealed that during the period from 28 to 51 hr after productive SV40 infection of monkey kidney cultures about 80% of the cells synthesized DNA, compared to about 16% in uninfected cultures. At 28 to 43 hr after abortive SV40 infection of mouse kidney cultures, 24 to 37% of the cells synthesized DNA, compared to about 6 to 8% in uninfected cultures. The infected monkey kidney and mouse kidney cultures, respectively, incorporated about 5 to 10 times and 3 to 5 times as much (3)H-dT into DNA as did uninfected cultures. Moreover, the net DNA synthesized by SV40-infected monkey kidney cultures, estimated by colorimetric methods, substantially exceeded that of uninfected cultures.Nitrocellulose chromatography and band centrifugation experiments were performed to elucidate the kinds of DNA synthesized in the cultures. In uninfected monkey kidney cultures and at 2 to 12 hr after SV40 infection, almost all of the (3)H-dT labeled DNA sedimented more rapidly than SV40 DNA, and the radioactive DNA was denatured by heating for 12 min at 100 C (cellular DNA). Almost all of the labeled DNA obtained from abortively infected mouse kidney cultures and from SV40-transformed cells also had the properties of cellular DNA. However, approximately one-third to one-half of the labeled DNA obtained from monkey kidney cultures 28 to 51 hr after infection sedimented more slowly than cellular DNA and was not denatured by the heating (SV40 DNA). It is concluded that cellular DNA synthesis was induced during either the productive or abortive SV40 infections. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40) infection stimulates confluent cultures of monkey kidney cells into successive rounds of cellular DNA synthesis without intervening mitosis. As an initial step in defining the mechanisms responsible for viral inhibition of mitosis, M-phase-promoting factor (MPF) was examined in SV40-infected CV-1 cells passing from G2 phase into a second S phase. MPF is a serine-threonine protein kinase that is essential for mitosis in eukaryotic cells. In SV40-infected cells exiting G2 phase, there was a reduced amount of MPF-associated H1 kinase activity relative to that of uninfected cells passing through mitosis. Both subunits of MPF, cyclin B and the p34cdc2 catalytic subunit, were present and in a complex in infected cells. In uninfected cultures, passage through mitosis was associated with the dephosphorylation of the p34cdc2 subunit, which is characteristic of MPF activation. In contrast, the p34cdc2 subunit remained in the tyrosine-phosphorylated, inactive form in SV40-infected cells passing from G2 phase into a second S phase. These results suggest that although the MPF complex is assembled and modified normally, SV40 interferes with pathways leading to MPF activation. 相似文献
