SV40 DNA replication has been studied extensively as a model for eukaryotic DNA replication. The initiation of SV40 DNA replication depends on certain cellular enzymes and on a multifunctional viral phosphoprotein, T antigen, whose activity is controlled positively and negatively by its phosphorylation state. Several cellular protein kinases and phosphatases that act on T antigen have now been identified. The recent elucidation of the step in initiation that is sensitive to T antigen's phosphorylation state raises the question of whether initiation of cellular DNA replication may utilize a similar regulatory mechanism. 相似文献

The simian virus 40 (SV40) large-T antigen is essential for SV40 DNA replication and for late viral gene expression, but the role of the SV40 small-t antigen in these processes is still unclear. We have previously demonstrated that small t inhibits SV40 DNA replication in vitro. In this study, we investigated the effect of small t on SV40 replication in cultured cells. CV1 monkey cell infection experiments indicated that mutant viruses that lack small t replicate less efficiently than the wild-type virus. We next microinjected CV1 cells with SV40 DNA with and without purified small-t protein and analyzed viral DNA replication efficiency by Southern blotting. Replication of either wild-type SV40 or small-t deletion mutant DNA was increased three- to fivefold in cells coinjected with purified small t. Thus, in contrast to our in vitro observation, small t stimulated viral DNA replication in vivo. This result suggests that small t has cellular effects that are not detectable in a reconstituted in vitro replication system. We also found that small t stimulated progression of permissive monkey cells--but not of nonpermissive rodent cells--from G0-G1 to the S phase of the cell cycle, possibly leading to an optimal intracellular environment for viral replication. 相似文献

Cells use the interferon-induced, double-stranded-RNA-dependent protein kinase PKR as a defense against virus infections. Upon activation, PKR phosphorylates and thereby inactivates the protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-2, resulting in the cessation of protein synthesis. Viruses have evolved various strategies to counteract this cellular defense. In this paper, we show that simian virus 40 (SV40) large-T antigen can antagonize the translational inhibitory effect resulting from the activation of PKR in virus-infected cells. Unlike the situation with other virus-host cell interactions, SV40 large-T antigen does not block the activation of PKR, suggesting that SV40 counteracts the cellular antiviral response mediated by PKR at a step downstream of PKR activation. Mutational analysis of large-T antigen indicates that a domain located between amino acids 400 and 600 of large-T antigen is responsible for this function. These results define a novel translational regulatory function for the SV40 large-T antigen. 相似文献

The initiation of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication is regulated by the phosphorylation state of the viral initiator protein, large T antigen. We describe the purification from HeLa cell nuclei of a 35-kDa serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates T antigen at sites that are phosphorylated in vivo and thereby inhibits its ability to initiate SV40 DNA replication. The inhibition of both origin unwinding and DNA replication by the kinase is reversed by protein phosphatase 2A. As determined by molecular weight, substrate specificity, autophosphorylation, immunoreactivity, and limited sequence analysis, this kinase appears to be identical to casein kinase I, a ubiquitous serine/threonine protein kinase that is closely related to a yeast kinase involved in DNA metabolism. The HeLa cell phosphorylation cycle that controls the initiation of SV40 DNA replication may also play a role in cellular DNA metabolism. 相似文献

Study of the proteins involved in DNA replication of a model system such as SV40 is a first step in understanding eukaryotic chromosomal replication. Using a cell-free system that is capable of replicating plasmid DNA molecules containing the SV40 origin of replication, we conducted a series of systematic fractionation-reconstitution experiments for the purpose of identifying and characterizing the cellular proteins involved in SV40 DNA replication. In addition to the one viral-encoded replication protein, T antigen, we have identified and begun to characterize at least six cellular components from a HeLa cytoplasmic extract that are absolutely required for SV40 DNA replication in vitro. These include: (i) two partially purified fractions, CF IC and CF IIA, and (ii) four proteins that have been purified to near homogeneity, replication protein-A, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex, and topoisomerase (I and II). Replication protein-A is a multi-subunit protein that has single-stranded DNA binding activity and is required for a T antigen-dependent, origin-dependent unwinding reaction which may be an important early step in initiation of replication. Fraction CF IC can stimulate this unwinding reaction, suggesting that it also may function during initiation. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, DNA polymerase alpha-primase, and CF IIA all appear to be involved in elongation of nascent chains. 相似文献

Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication is a useful model to study eukaryotic cell DNA replication because it encodes only one replication protein and its genome has a nucleoprotein structure ('minichromosome') indistinguishable from cellular chromatin. Late after infection SV40 replicating DNA molecules represent about 5% of total viral minichromosomes. Since gene 32 protein (P32) from bacteriophage T4 interacts with single-stranded DNA and SV40 replication complexes are expected to contain single-stranded regions at the replication forks, we asked whether P32 might be used to isolate replicating SV40 minichromosomes. When nuclear extracts from SV40 infected cells were treated sequentially with P32 and anti-P32 antibodies, pulse-labeled minichromosomes were selectively immunoprecipitated. Agarose gel electrophoresis analysis confirmed that immunoprecipitated material corresponded to SV40 replicative intermediates. Protein analysis of the pelleted material revealed several proteins of viral and cellular origin. Among them, T antigen and histones were found to be complexed with at least other three proteins from cellular origin, to the replicative complexes. Additionally, anti-P32 antibodies were able to detect three cellular proteins of approximately 70, 32 and 13 kDa in western blots. These proteins could correspond to those found as part of an eukaryotic multisubunit single-stranded DNA binding protein. The use of P32 and anti-P32 antibodies thus allows the separation of replicating from mature SV40 minichromosomes and can constitute a novel method to enrich and to study replicative active chromatin. 相似文献

We have made use of the cell-free SV40 DNA replication system to identify and characterize cellular proteins required for efficient DNA synthesis. One such protein, replication protein C (RP-C), was shown to be involved with SV40 large T antigen in the early stages of viral DNA replication in vitro. We demonstrate here that RP-C is identical to the catalytic subunit of cellular protein phosphatase 2A (PP2Ac). The purified protein dephosphorylates specific phosphoamino acid residues in T antigen, consistent with the hypothesis that SV40 DNA replication is regulated by modulating the phosphorylation state of the viral initiator protein. We also show that purified RP-C/PP2Ac preferentially stimulates SV40 DNA replication in extracts from early G1 phase cells. This finding suggests that the activity of a cellular factor that influences the net phosphorylation state of T antigen is cell cycle dependent. 相似文献

DNA polymerase alpha is the only enzyme in eukaryotic cells capable of starting DNA chains de novo and is required for the initiation of SV40 DNA replication in vitro. We have cloned the 70 kDa subunit of human DNA polymerase alpha (hereafter referred to as the B subunit) and expressed it as a fusion protein in bacteria. The purified fusion protein forms a stable complex with SV40 T antigen, both in solution and when T antigen is bound to the SV40 origin of DNA replication. Analysis of mutant forms of the B subunit indicates that the N-terminal 240 amino acids are sufficient to mediate complex formation. The B subunit fusion protein promotes formation of a complex containing T antigen and the catalytic subunit (subunit A) of DNA polymerase alpha, suggesting that it serves to tether the two proteins. These physical interactions are functionally significant, since the ability of T antigen to stimulate the activity of the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase alpha is highly dependent upon the B subunit. We suggest that the interactions mediated by the B subunit play an important role in SV40 DNA replication by promoting DNA chain initiation at the origin and/or facilitating the subsequent priming and synthesis of DNA chains on the lagging strand template. The protein may play similar roles in cellular DNA replication. 相似文献

Initiation of cell-free simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication requires the interaction of DNA polymerase alpha/primase with a preinitiation complex containing the viral T antigen and cellular proteins, replication protein A, and topoisomerase I or II. To further understand the molecular mechanisms of the transition from preinitiation to initiation, the intermolecular interaction between human DNA polymerase alpha and T antigen was investigated. We have demonstrated that the human DNA polymerase alpha catalytic polypeptide is able to associate with SV40 large T antigen directly under physiological conditions. A physical association between these two proteins was detected by coimmunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies from insect cells coinfected with recombinant baculoviruses. A domain of human polymerase alpha physically interacting with T antigen was identified within the amino-terminal region from residues 195 to 313. This domain of human polymerase alpha was able to form a nonproductive complex with T antigen, causing inhibition of the SV40 DNA replication in vitro. Kinetics of the inhibition indicated that this polymerase domain can inhibit viral replication only during the preinitiation stage. Extra molecules of T antigen could partially overcome the inhibition only prior to initiation complex formation. The data support the conclusion that initiation of SV40 DNA replication requires the physical interaction of T antigen in the preinitiation complex with the amino-terminal domain of human polymerase alpha from amino acid residues 195 to 313. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40) provides a model system for the study of eukaryotic DNA replication, in which the viral protein, large T antigen (Tag), marshals human proteins to replicate the viral minichromosome. SV40 replication requires interaction of Tag with the host single-stranded DNA-binding protein, replication protein A (hRPA). The C-terminal domain of the hRPA32 subunit (RPA32C) facilitates initiation of replication, but whether it interacts with Tag is not known. Affinity chromatography and NMR revealed physical interaction between hRPA32C and the Tag origin DNA-binding domain, and a structural model of the complex was determined. Point mutations were then designed to reverse charges in the binding sites, resulting in substantially reduced binding affinity. Corresponding mutations introduced into intact hRPA impaired initiation of replication and primosome activity, implying that this interaction has a critical role in assembly and progression of the SV40 replisome. 相似文献

Simian Virus 40 (SV40)-encoded large T antigen has an intrinsic ATP-dependent DNA-unwinding activity which is necessary for an early step in the activation of the viral origin of replication. Isolated T antigen unwinds any double-stranded DNA, regardless of whether it is linear or circularly closed. However, initiation of DNA replication depends on an intact origin of replication, and even minor deviations from the wild-type origin sequence abolish the template activity of an origin-bearing plasmid. This discrepancy suggests that T antigen may not be sufficient for origin activation and that other, probably cellular, functions are involved. We have isolated a cellular protein, the LOB protein, which specifically interacts with the AT-rich region of the SV40 origin and which induces a pronounced bending of the bound DNA. 相似文献

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

Preformed hexamers of simian virus 40 (SV40) large tumor antigen (T antigen) constitute the bulk of T antigen in infected cells and are stable under physiological conditions. In spite of this they could not be assigned a function in virus replication or transformation. We report that preformed hexamers represent the active T antigen RNA helicase. Monomers and smaller oligomeric forms of T antigen were inactive due to the lack of hexamer formation under RNA unwinding conditions. In contrast to the immunologically related cellular DEAD-box protein p68, the T antigen RNA helicase is found to act in a much more processive way and it does not catalyze rearrangements of structured RNAs. Thereby, it rather seems to resemble other virus-encoded RNA helicases, like vaccinia virus NPH-II. Surprisingly, in our hands preformed hexamers also strikingly bound to and unwound the SV40 replication origin, pointing to a possible role of preformed hexamers in the initiation step of viral DNA replication. Furthermore, we have detected an extra hexamer-specific, high-affinity T antigen ATP binding site with a very slow exchange rate constant, the function of which is discussed. 相似文献

The cell cycle is driven by the sequential activation of a family of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) in association with cyclins.
In mammalian cells the timing of activation of cyclin A-associated kinase activity coincides with the onset of DNA synthesis
in S-phase. Using in vitro replication of SV40 origin-containing DNA as a model system, we have analyzed the proteins associated
with DNA during initiation of DNA replication in S-phase cell extracts. This analysis reveals that, in addition to replication
initiation proteins, cyclin A and cdk2 are also specifically associated with DNA. The association of cyclin A and cdk2 with
DNA during initiation is cell cycle regulated and occurs specifically in the presence of SV40 origin-containing plasmid and
SV40 T antigen (the viral replication initiator protein). The interactions among proteins involved in initiation play an important
role in DNA replication. We therefore investigated the ability of cyclin A and cdk2 to associate with replication initiation
proteins. Under replication initiation conditions, cyclin A and cdk2 from S-phase extracts specifically associate with SV40
T antigen. Further, the interaction of cyclin A-cdk2 with SV40 T antigen is mediated via cyclin A, and purified recombinant
cyclin A associates directly with SV40 T antigen. Taken together, our results suggest that cyclin A and cdk2 are components
of the SV40 replication initiation complex, and that protein-protein interactions between cyclin A-cdk2 and T antigen may
facilitate the association of cyclin A-cdk2 with the complex.

Physical and functional interactions of simian virus 40 (SV40) and polyomavirus large-T antigens with DNA polymerase alpha-primase were analyzed to elucidate the molecular basis for the species specificity of polymerase alpha-primase in viral DNA replication. SV40 T antigen associated more efficiently with polymerase alpha-primase in crude human extracts than in mouse extracts, while polyomavirus T antigen interacted preferentially with polymerase alpha-primase in mouse extracts. The apparent species specificity of complex formation was not observed when purified polymerase alpha-primases were substituted for the crude extracts. Several functional interactions between T antigen and purified polymerase alpha-primase, including stimulation of primer synthesis and primer elongation on M13 DNA in the presence or absence of the single-stranded DNA binding protein RP-A, also proved to be independent of the species from which polymerase alpha-primase had been purified. However, the human DNA polymerase alpha-primase was specifically required for primosome assembly and primer synthesis on SV40 origin DNA in the presence of T antigen and RP-A. 相似文献

SV3T3 C120 cells contain a 145,000-dalton form of simian virus 40 (SV40) super-T antigen but little if any normal-sized large-T. The subcellular location of super-T, its DNA binding properties, and its interaction with nonviral tumor antigen (NVT) were examined. Immunofluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation indicated that super-T is almost exclusively nuclear. Chromatography on double-stranded DNA-cellulose showed that super-T binds to double-stranded DNA and has an elution profile indistinguishable from normal-sized large-T. Super-T also binds specifically to a fragment of SV40 DNA which contains the origin of DNA replication. However, immunoprecipitation of super-T or large-T either with anti-tumor cell serum or with anti-NVT serum from fractions obtained by sucrose density centrifugation of 32P-labeled or [35S]methionine-labeled extracts revealed clear differences in the sedimentation characteristics of these proteins. The bulk of labeled 145,000-dalton super-T sedimented between 4S and 10S, whereas the bulk of 32P-labeled large-T from normal SV40-transformed cells sedimented as two peaks at 23S to 25S and 16S to 18S. By contrast, the sedimentation properties of NVT from the SV3T3 C120 cells were similar to those normally observed with other SV3T3 cell lines. The reason for this apparent difference in complex formation between super-T and NVT and that normally observed with large-T is unclear, but it probably has no deleterious effect on the ability of super-T to maintain transformation. 相似文献

Plasmids containing the SV40 origin replicate in the presence of SV40 T antigen and a cell free extract derived from human 293 cells. Upon fractionation of this extract, two essential replication factors have been identified. One of these is a multi-subunit DNA binding protein containing polypeptides of 70,000, 34,000 and 11,000 daltons which may function as a eukaryotic single strand DNA binding protein (SSB). The other partially purified fraction is required with T antigen for the first stage of DNA replication, the formation of a pre-synthesis complex at the replication origin. These results, and others, define multiple stages of SV40 DNA replication in vitro which are analogous to multiple stages of Escherichia coli and phage lambda replication, and may reflect similar events in the replication of cellular chromosomes. 相似文献

Interactions between SV40 T antigen and DNA polymerase alpha 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Simian virus 40 large T antigen is the only viral protein required for SV40 DNA synthesis in vivo and in vitro. This complex protein recruits the cellular DNA replication apparatus to the SV40 origin and provides a good model for the initiation of cellular DNA replication. The interaction between SV40 large T antigen (TAg) and DNA polymerase alpha has been shown previously to be inhibited by murine p53, the nuclear protein product of a cellular anti-oncogene. The murine p53 protein will inhibit SV40 replication both in vivo and in vitro. Using monoclonal antibodies to TAg, p53, and polymerase alpha, we developed immunoassays to measure the complexes formed between TAg and polymerase alpha and between TAg and p53. The assays allowed us to detect the TAg-polymerase alpha and TAg-p53 complexes in lytically infected and transformed cells. The amount of TAg complexed to p53 was far lower in infected cells than in transformed cells. We used a large range of monoclonal antibodies to different sites on T antigen and found that antibodies that inhibited the formation of the TAg-polymerase alpha complex also inhibited the formation of the TAg-p53 complex. Finally, we found that the tsA58 and 5080 point mutations in TAg, previously shown to inhibit the binding of TAg to p53, also inhibit its binding to polymerase alpha. Together these results emphasize the specificity and functional importance of the TAg-polymerase alpha complex. The disruption of this interaction by the cellular anti-oncogene p53 provides an interesting model for the normal action of p53 and the effects of its removal on the regulation of cellular DNA synthesis. 相似文献
