The base sequence homology between the genomes of simian virus 40 (SV40) and human papovavirus BK (BKV) was studied by the heteroduplex method of Ferguson and Davis (J. Mol. Biol. 94:135-149, 1975). When mounted for microscopy in 30% formamide (Tm-35 degrees C), BKV/SV40 heteroduplexes were an average of 92% double-stranded and contained only two small nonhomologous regions that mapped near the junctions between the early and late regions of the SV40 Genome. At higher formamide concentrations, the fraction of duplex DNA in the BKV/SV40 heteroduplexes decreased, indicating significant base mismatching in the homologous regions. The strongest regions of homology were located in the late region.  相似文献

The DNAs of different members of the Papillomavirus genus of papovaviruses were analyzed for nucleotide sequence homology. Under standard hybridization conditions (Tm - 28 degrees C), no homology was detectable among the genomes of human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV-1), bovine papillomavirus type 2 (BPV-2), or cottontail rabbit (Shope) papillomavirus (CRPV). However, under less stringent conditions (i.e., Tm - 43 degrees C), stable hybrids were formed between radiolabeled DNAs of CRPV, BPV-1, or BPV-2 and the HindIII-HpaI A, B, and C fragments of HPV-1. Under these same conditions, radiolabeled CRPV and HPV-1 DNAs formed stable hybrids with HincII B and C fragments of BPV-2 DNA. These results indicate that there are regions of homology with as much as 70% base match among all these papillomavirus genomes. Furthermore, unlabeled HPV-1 DNA competitively inhibited the specific hybridization of radiolabeled CRPV DNA to bpv-2 DNA fragments, indicating that the homologous DNA segments are common among these remotely related papillomavirus genomes. These conserved sequences are specific for the Papillomavirus genus of papovaviruses as evidenced by the lack of hybridization between HPV-1 DNA and either simian virus 40 or human papovavirus BK DNA under identical conditions. These results indicate a close evolutionary relationship among the papillomaviruses and further establish the papillomaviruses and polyoma viruses as distinct genera.  相似文献

Studies were performed to ascertain the relationship of human papovavirus JC to BK virus and to simian virus 40 (SV40) by further restriction endonuclease analysis and by DNA-DNA competition hybridization on membrane filters. Form I DNA extracted from two new isolates from cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy of human papovaviruses that were JC-like in their antigenic properties were found to yield restriction endonuclease fragmentation patterns similar to those of prototypic JC virus DNA and different from those of BK or SV40. Form I DNA preparations of JC and BK viruses were found to be related to each other and to SV40 DNA to a similar extent, with JC and BK virus DNAs containing sequences homologous to both early and late regions of the SV40 genome. The relatedness in each comparison was less than 50%, and heterologous hybrids between either JC or BK and SV40 DNAs were found to be less stable than homologous SV40-SV40 hybrids in high concentrations of formamide, suggesting substantial mismatch within homologous regions, to the extent of 15 to 30%. The new JC-like isolates were also studied in competition hybridization reactions with SV40 DNA and yielded results similar to those obtained with JC virus.  相似文献

A new approach for evaluating homologous sequences among related DNAs is presented. Conventional filter hybridization techniques are employed at 35 degrees C in a range of formamide concentrations in order to perform annealings at effective temperatures as low as Tm -50 degrees C which permits the detection of regions of homology with as much as 33% base mismatch. Under such nonstringent conditions, high levels of specific annealing can be obtained at plateau levels. In combination with the Southern "blotting" technique (1975), this approach can be used to perform biochemical heteroduplex melting experiments. The homology among the genomes of the murine polyoma virus (Py), the simian virus 40 (SV40), and the human papovavirus BK was evaluated using this new methodology.  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

We have begun to characterize the genomic structure and replication of the baboon papovavirus simian agent 12 (SA12). We have defined a wild-type clone of SA12 (SA12 wt100) by plaque purification from a heterogeneous stock. The functional map of SA12 wt100 can be aligned with those of the other primate papovaviruses by assigning one of the two EcoRI sites as 0/1.0 map units. The origin of bidirectional viral DNA replication maps near 0.67 map units, consistent with the limits of sequences homologous to origin sequences in the other papovaviruses. DNA sequence analysis shows that the organization of the SA12 genome is similar to that of the other primate papovaviruses studied. The arrangement and sequence of functional elements in the origin of replication region, as well as the sequences of the N-terminal regions of early protein products, indicate that SA12 is most closely related to the human virus BK, next most closely related to JC virus, and less closely related to simian virus 40. Unlike BK virus, SA12 is capable of productive infection of African green monkey kidney cells.  相似文献

Cytoplasmic RNA prepared from several human cell lines and tissues was hybridised to DNA from Epstein-Barr virus, human adenovirus types 2, 3 and 12 and human papovaviruses BK and JC. RNA from all the cells, regardless of whether or not they were virally infected, hybridised to specific regions of the Epstein-Barr virus or adenovirus genomes but not to papovavirus DNA. The cellular cross-hybridising species appear to be repetitive sequences which are conserved in higher eukaryotes. Mismatch estimations indicate a high degree of homology between the viral and host sequences. Detailed analysis of selected regions of viral DNA failed to reveal any primary-structural peculiarities.  相似文献

The complete DNA genomes of four distinct human papilloma viruses (human papilloma virus subtype 1a [HPV-1a], HPV-1b, HPV-2a, and HPV-4) were molecularly cloned in Escherichia coli, using the certified plasmid vector pBR322. The restriction endonuclease patterns of the cloned HPV-1a and HPV-1b DNAs were similar to those already published for uncloned DNAs. Physical maps were constructed for HPV-2a DNA and HPV-4 DNA, since these viral DNAs had not been previously mapped. By using the cloned DNAs, the genomes of HPV-1a, HPV-2a, and HPV-4 were analyzed for nucleotide sequence homology. Under standard hybridization conditions (Tm = --28 degrees C), no homology was detectable among the genomes of these papilloma viruses, in agreement with previous reports. However, under less stringent conditions (i.e., Tm = --50 degrees C), stable DNA hybrids could be detected between these viral DNAs, indicating homologous segments in the genomes with approximately 30% base mismatch. By using specific DNA fragments immobilized on nitrocellulose filters, these regions of homology were mapped. Hybridization experiments between radiolabeled bovine papilloma virus type 1 (BPV-1) DNA and the unlabeled HPV-1a, HPV-2a, or HPV-4 DNA restriction fragments under low-stringency conditions indicated that the regions of homology among the HPV DNAs are also conserved in the BPV-1 genome with approximately the same degree of base mismatch.  相似文献

A DNA virus of the papovavirus group spontaneously appeared in RLV-infected spleen and thymus cells of mice in vitro was further characterized as polyoma virus Y8e by haemagglutination test, banding in density gradients, sedimentation coefficients of DNA and molecular hybridization of its DNA. The latter technique showed nearly complete sequence homology to polyoma virus strain SE DNA, partial sequence homology to hamster papovavirus DNA and mouse host DNA and little or no sequence homology to SV 40 DNA. The relationship between rodent papovaviruses and primate papovaviruses is discussed.  相似文献

Characterization of K virus and its comparison with polyoma virus.   总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
The antigenic relationship between the two murine papovaviruses, K virus and polyoma virus, was examined by serological techniques to determine whether they shared any antigenic components. No cross-reactivity was found associated with the viral (V) antigens by the indirect immunofluorescence, neutralization, or hemagglutination-inhibition tests. The tumor (T) antigens expressed in transformed cells or cells productively infected by either K or polyoma virus did not cross-react by indirect immunofluorescence. An antigenic relationship was detected, however, among the late proteins of K virus, polyoma virus, simian virus 40, and the human papovavirus BKV, when tested with either hyperimmune sera prepared against polyoma virus and simian virus 40 or sera prepared against disrupted virions. The nucleic acids of K and polyoma viruses were compared by agarose gel electrophoresis and restriction endonuclease analysis. No nucleotide sequence homology between the genomes of these two viruses was detectable by DNA-DNA hybridization techniques under stringent conditions. The genome of K virus was found to be slightly smaller than that of polyoma virus, and the cleavage patterns of the viral DNAs with six restriction endonucleases were different. These findings indicate that there is little relationship between these two murine papovaviruses.  相似文献

The proteins of simian virus 40 (SV40) and two human papovaviruses, the hemagglutinating BK virus and the non-hemagglutinating DAR virus, were analyzed and compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The virions of SV40 and DAR contain seven proteins. By molecular weight analysis the constituent proteins of SV40 and DAR are identical. Approximately 84% of the viral protein has a molceular weight of 45,000. The major protein of BK virus is 3,000 to 5,000 daltons lighter than the major proteins of SV40 and DAR viruses. The five most rapidly migrating proteins of BK virus are indistinguishable by molecular weight analysis from the corresponding proteins of SV40 and DAR viruses. Radial immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis of whole virus gave lines of identity between SV40 and DAR when reacted with SV40 antibody. SV40 antiserum tested against BK virus and BK antiserum tested against SV40 virus showed no reactivity by complement fixation, immunodiffusion, or immunoelectrophoresis.  相似文献

A procedure for investigating the possibility of small amounts of partial DNA sequence homology between two defined DNA molecules has been developed and used to test for sequence homology between simian virus 40 and polyoma DNAs. This procedure, which does not necessitate the use of separated viral DNA strands, involves the construction of hybrid DNA molecules containing a simian virus 40 DNA molecule covalently joined to a polyoma DNA molecule, using the sequential action of EcoRI restriction endonuclease and Escherichia coli DNA ligase. Denaturation of such hybrid DNA molecules then makes it possible to examine intramolecularly rather than intermolecularly renatured molecules. Visualization of these intramolecularly renatured “snapback” molecules with duplex regions of homology by electron microscopy reveals a 15% region of weak sequence homology. This region is denatured at about 35 °C below the melting temperature of simian virus 40 DNA and therefore corresponds to about 75% homology. This region was mapped on both the simian virus 40 and polyoma genomes by the use of Hemophilus parainfluenzae II restriction endonuclease cleavage of the simian virus 40 DNA prior to EcoRI cleavage and construction of the hybrid molecule. The 15% region of weak homology maps immediately to the left of the EcoRI restriction endonuclease cleavage site in the simian virus 40 genome and halfway around from the EcoRI restriction endonuclease cleavage site in the polyoma genome.  相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40) DNAs in brain tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of eight simian immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus monkeys with SV40 brain disease were analyzed. We report the detection, cloning, and identification of five new SV40 strains following a quadruple testing-verification strategy. SV40 genomes with archetypal regulatory regions (containing a duplication within the G/C-rich regulatory region segment and a single 72-bp enhancer element) were recovered from seven animal brains, two tissues of which also contained viral genomes with nonarchetypal regulatory regions (containing a duplication within the G/C-rich regulatory region segment as well as a variable duplication within the enhancer region). In contrast, PBMC DNAs from five of six animals had viral genomes with both regulatory region types. It appeared, based on T-antigen variable-region sequences, that nonarchetypal virus variants arose de novo within each animal. The eighth animal exclusively yielded a new type of SV40 strain (SV40-K661), containing a protoarchetypal regulatory region (lacking a duplication within the G/C-rich segment of the regulatory region and containing one 72-bp element in the enhancer region), from both brain tissue and PBMCs. The presence of SV40 in PBMCs suggests that hematogenous spread of viral infection may occur. An archetypal version of a virus similar to SV40 reference strain 776 (a kidney isolate) was recovered from one brain, substantiating the idea that SV40 is neurotropic as well as kidney-tropic. Indirect evidence suggests that maternal-infant transmission of SV40 may have occurred in one animal. These findings provide new insights for human polyomavirus disease.  相似文献

A DNA fragment containing the l-arabinose operon regulatory region of Escherichia coli was purified from DNA heteroduplexes formed between opposite strands of two non-defective ara transducing phage. The phage and arabinose gene orientation is such that the heteroduplex contains two single-stranded “bubbles”. The ara regulatory region and short portions of the flanking araB and araC genes are in the short duplex between the “bubbles”. Extensive regions of homology between the phage genomes allowed nearly half of the DNA renatured from a mixture of the two phage DNAs to be in the form of heteroduplexes. Digestion of the reannealed DNA containing heteroduplexes and homoduplexes with the easily purified, single-strand specific nuclease S1 yielded the 1000 (1017 ± 20, n = 36) base-pair ara DNA duplex plus half and whole phage-length duplexes. The larger DNA duplexes were selectively precipitated by polyethylene glycol before the final purification by preparative electrophoresis on polyacryl-amide gels. By these methods 10 to 20 μg of the 1000 base-pair DNA fragment were purified.  相似文献

Overlapping redundant short oligomers in DNA sequences of retroviruses and papovaviruses have been identified. For each sequence, a search procedure determines the 5% short oligomers of the same length with the highest ratios of observed to expected occurrences based on singlet composition of the sequence. These short oligomers are referred to as compositionally-assessed redundant sequence elements (COARSEs). A pair of COARSEs overlapping by at least one base is considered to be a COARSE overlap. Most COARSE overlaps of the 7th order (overlapping septuplets) are found in long terminal repeats of retroviruses and in the regulatory control regions of papovaviruses SV40, BK and JC. Many of the 7th order COARSE overlaps in HIV-1 and SV40 are identical with regulatory elements determined experimentally. On the contrary, very few of the most frequently occurring oligomer overlaps, which are defined differently from COARSE overlaps, are present in the regulatory regions of retroviruses and papovaviruses. Examining DNA sequences of other genomes by the COARSE overlap method may identify putative regulatory regions.  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

The nucleotide sequence of the region of human polyoma virus JC DNA between 0.5 and 0.7 map units from a unique EcoRI cleavage site was determined and compared with those of the corresponding regions of another human polyoma virus, BK, and simian virus 40 DNAs. Within this region consisting of 945 base pairs, we located the origin of DNA replication near 0.7 map units, the entire coding region for small T antigen, and the splice junctions for large-T-antigen mRNA. The deduced amino acid sequences for small T antigen and the part of large T antigen markedly resembled those of polyoma virus BK and simian virus 40. The results strongly suggest that polyoma virus JC has the same organization of early genome as polyoma virus BK and simian virus 40 on the physical map, with the EcoRI site as a reference point.  相似文献

Human polyomavirus JC virus genome.   总被引:53,自引:23,他引:30       下载免费PDF全文
The complete DNA sequence of the human JC virus, which was found to consist of 5,130 nucleotide pairs, is presented. The amino acid sequence of six proteins could be deduced: the early, nonstructural proteins, large T and small t antigens; the late capsid proteins, VP1, VP2, and VP3; and the agnogene product encoded within the late leader sequence, called the agnoprotein in simian virus 40. The extent of homology between JC virus DNA and the genomes of simian virus 40 (69%) and BK virus (75%) confirmed the close evolutionary relationship of these three polyomaviruses. The sequences showing the greatest divergence in these viral DNAs occurred within the tandem repeats located to the late side of the replication origins.  相似文献
