Simian virus 40 cRNA was transcribed in vitro from the early viral DNA strand. The RNA was injected through glass capillaries into the nuclei of monkey cells. After a 2-h incubation, the RNAs were extracted and hybridized to single-stranded simian virus 40 DNA sequences contained in a bacteriophage M13 vector. Electron microscopy revealed processed cRNAs with splice loops in the region of the intron of large T antigen. 相似文献

Nuclear footprinting revealed a temporal program involving factor binding to the repetitive GC-box DNA elements present in the simian virus 40 regulatory region. This program specified ordered and directional binding to these tandem regulatory sequences in vivo during the late phase of infection. The program was interrupted by the DNA replication inhibitor aphidicolin or by inactivation of the viral replication factor simian virus 40 T antigen, suggesting a link between viral DNA replication and new factor binding. Measurements of DNA accumulation in viruses lacking either the distal or proximal halves of the GC-box region suggested that the region has a dual role in replication control. Overall, the data point to important relationships between DNA replication and factor binding to the GC-box DNA, a multifunctional regulatory region. 相似文献

Base substitution of the ori region of simian virus 40 leads to plaque morphology mutants with markedly decreased DNA replication. Second-site mutations within the simian virus 40 T antigen gene suppress the plaque phenotype and replication defect of base-substituted ori mutants. Two second-site mutations have been mapped to a small segment of the T antigen gene, just beyond the distal splice junction. DNA sequence analysis revealed a single missense change in this segment of the T antigen gene of each of these second-site revertants, leading to a change in codon 157 in one case and codon 166 in the other. The mutant T antigens displayed relaxed specificity for the ori signal, i.e., they can function with several variously modified ori sequences, including those with small nucleotide deletions or insertions that are inactive for replication when coupled with wild-type T antigen. Thus a region of T antigen has been identified that appears to be intimately involved in vivo in binding to the ori sequence to initiate viral DNA replication. 相似文献

Attenuation in the control of SV40 gene expression 总被引:57,自引:0,他引:57

Of the several DNA fragments present in the human lung cancer gene, 1.1 and 2.0 kilobase (kb) fragments corresponding to the intron of this gene were hybridized to a half part of the 27 nucleotides perfect palindrome present in the initiation part of replication in simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA. These two fragments cloned in pBR322 had good template activity, and the initiation of DNA replication started from the region of these fragments in an in vitro system, in which the initiation of DNA replication occurs on cloned DNA containing SV40 origin of DNA replication as described previously. Furthermore, these two clones could replicate autonomously in nuclei of SV40 transformed Cos cells, producing SV40 T antigen constitutively when the clones were transfected into Cos cells. These results show that functional SV40 origin-like sequences are present in human genomes, and they can replicate autonomously within the cells which are producing SV40 T antigen. 相似文献

Primary or continuous lines of mouse cells (3T3) are nonpermissive for simian virus 40 (SV40). Abortively infected cells synthesize tumor antigen (T antigen but not viral DNA and virus capsid protein (V antigen). V antigen, however, was obtained when SV40 DNA was injected into 3T3 cells. This late gene expression also appears to be correlated with the quantity of injected DNA molecules per 3T3 cell. T antigen formation can be detected after microinjection of only 1 to 2 DNA molecules, but the intensity of intranuclear T antigen fluorescence is significantly brighter with injection of higher concentrations of viral DNA. In permissive cells (TC7), early and late SV40 gene expression is directly related to the number of injected molecules. Microinjection of 1DNA molecule induced T and V antigen formation with the same efficiency as microinjection of 2,000 to 4,000 molecules. The question of weather late SV40 gene expression is directly related to the quantity of an early virus-specific product was approached by microinjection of early SV40 complementary RNA together with small amounts of viral DNA. V antigen was obtained in a high proportion of recipient 3T3 cells at conditions where microinjection of viral DNA alone induced T but not V antigen synthesis. 相似文献

Expression of the simian virus 40 (SV40) early and late regions was examined in Xenopus laevis oocytes microinjected with viral DNA. In contrast to the situation in monkey cells, both late-strand-specific (L-strand) RNA and early-strand-specific (E-strand) RNA could be detected as early as 2 h after injection. At all time points tested thereafter, L-strand RNA was synthesized in excess over E-strand RNA. Significantly greater quantities of L-strand, relative to E-strand, RNA were detected over a 100-fold range of DNA concentrations injected. Analysis of the subcellular distribution of [35S]methionine-labeled viral proteins revealed that while the majority of the VP-1 and all detectable small t antigen were found in the oocyte cytoplasm, most of the large T antigen was located in the oocyte nucleus. The presence of the large T antigen in the nucleus led us to investigate whether this viral product influences the relative synthesis of late or early RNA in the oocyte as it does in infected monkey cells. Microinjection of either mutant C6 SV40 DNA, which encodes a large T antigen unable to bind specifically to viral regulatory sequences, or deleted viral DNA lacking part of the large T antigen coding sequences yielded ratios of L-strand to E-strand RNA that were similar to those observed with wild-type SV40 DNA. Taken together, these observations suggest that the regulation of SV40 RNA synthesis in X. laevis oocytes occurs by a fundamentally different mechanism than that observed in infected monkey cells. This notion was further supported by the observation that the major 5' ends of L-strand RNA synthesized in oocytes were different from those detected in infected cells. Furthermore, only a subset of those L-strand RNAs were polyadenylated. 相似文献

A deletion in the simian virus 40 large T antigen impairs lytic replication in monkey cells in vivo but enhances DNA replication in vitro: new complementation function of T antigen.

We describe a new complementation function within the simian virus 40 (SV40) A gene. This function is required for viral DNA replication and virus production in vivo but, surprisingly, does not affect any of the intrinsic enzymatic functions of T antigen directly required for in vitro DNA replication. Other well-characterized SV40 T-antigen mutants, whether expressed stably from integrated genomes or in cotransfection experiments, complement these mutants for in vivo DNA replication and plaque formation. These new SV40 mutants were isolated and cloned from human cells which stably carry the viral DNA. The alteration in the large-T-antigen gene was shown by marker rescue and nucleotide sequence analysis to be a deletion of 322 bp spanning the splice-donor site of the first exon, creating a 14-amino-acid deletion in the large T antigen. The mutant gene was expressed in H293 human cells from an adenovirus vector, and the protein was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography. The mutant protein directs greater levels of DNA replication in vitro than does the wild-type protein. Moreover, the mutant protein reduces the lag time for in vitro DNA synthesis and can be diluted to lower levels than wild-type T antigen and still promote good replication, which is in clear contrast to the in vivo situation. These biochemical features of the protein are independent of the source of the cellular replication factors (i.e., HeLa, H293, COS 7, or CV1 cells) and the cells from which the T antigens were purified. The mutant T antigen does not transform Rat-2 cells. Several different models which might reconcile the differences observed in vivo and in vitro are outlined. We propose that the function of T antigen affected prepares cells for SV40 replication by activation of a limiting cellular replication factor. Furthermore, a link between the induction of a cellular replication factor and transformation by SV40 is discussed. 相似文献
