d1-1811 is a viable simian virus 40 deletion mutant which lacks the DNA region corresponding to the major capping site of the late viral RNA. The exact size of the deletion (40 base pairs) was determined by comparison of the mutant DNA sequence with the wild-type simian virus 40 (strain 776) DNA sequence. Although d1-1811 forms somewhat smaller plaques, the amount of viral RNA late after infection was not significantly reduced compared with that of the wild type. Virus-specific, polyadenylate-containing, 32P-labeled late RNA was purified from the cytoplasm and enzymatically degraded to characterize the 5' terminus. The cap-containing oligonucleotides were isolated, and their structures were analyzed by further digestion. Instead of a single cap structure, we found a variety of capped 5' termini, with adenosine caps occurring much more frequently than guanosine caps. Nevertheless, there was a remarkable homology between both types of terminal sequences. Conceivably, the minor cap population present in wild-type simian virus 40 late mRNA may correspond to the collection of capped termini identified in the d1-1811 late mRNA . Cellular cytoplasmic RNA shows a similar pattern of cap structures, but the relative abundance is quite different. 相似文献

This paper describes the purification of polysomal RNA from SV40-lytically infected CV1 (monkey) cells and separation of the two distinct classes of SV40-specific mRNA sedimenting at 16 S and 19 S. These classes have been hybridized with the whole SV40 DNA genome as well as with the SV40 Hind fragments. The results have permitted the mapping of SV40-specific late 16 S mRNA from approximately 0.945 to 0.175 map units. 相似文献

An in vitro splicing system utilizing isolated nuclei of SV40 infected cells has been developed. Nuclei were isolated from CV-1 cells at a late stage of SV40 infection after a pulse-labeling with 3H-uridine. In nuclei prepared under mild isotonic conditions, 19S viral coded RNA synthesized in vivo was converted in vitro into 16S mRNA. In contrast, the nuclei prepared with RSB, a hypotonic medium, showed a very low splicing activity only. Addition of a "nuclear extract" to these nuclei restored the activity almost to the original level. These results indicate that 1) 19S RNA is indeed a precursor to 16S mRNA 2) the splicing of 19S RNA into 16S RNA takes place in the nucleus, and 3) at least a part of the enzyme system required for splicing could be extracted from the nucleus. This in vitro system may be useful for the assay of the splicing enzyme(s). 相似文献

The number of ribosomes on simian virus 40 late 16S mRNA is determined in part by the nucleotide sequence of its leader. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The size distributions of polyribosomes containing each of three simian virus 40 late 16S mRNA species that differ in nucleotide sequence only within their leaders were determined. The two 16S RNA species with shorter leaders were incorporated into polysomes that were both larger (on average) and narrower in size distribution than was the predominant wild-type 16S RNA. Therefore, the nucleotide sequence of the leader can influence the number of ribosomes present on the body of an mRNA molecule. We propose a model in which the excision from leaders of sizeable translatable regions permits more frequent utilization of internally located translation initiation signals, thereby enabling genes encoded within the bodies of polygenic mRNAs to be translated at higher rates. In addition, the data provide the first direct evidence that VP1 can, indeed, be synthesized in vivo from the species of 16S mRNA that also encodes the 61-amino acid leader protein. 相似文献

We have determined the sequence of the portion of Simian Virus 40 (SV40) that codes for the major structural protein of the virus. The gene contains 361 codons. Synonym codons for an amino acid are not used randomly. The dinucleotide CG occurs only once and there is 2 to 1 preference for uridylic acid in the third position of codons. 相似文献

A major, late 6-kilobase (6-kb) mRNa mapping in the large unique region of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was characterized by using two recombinant DNA clones, one containing EcoRI fragment G (0.190 to 0.30 map units) in lambda. WES.B (L. Enquist, M. Madden, P. Schiop-Stansly, and G. Vandl Woude, Science 203:541-544, 1979) and one containing HindIII fragment J (0.181 to 0.259 map units) in pBR322. This 6-kb mRNA had its 3' end to the left of 0.231 on the prototypical arrangement of the HSV-1 genome and was transcribed from right to left. It was bounded on both sides by regions containing a large number of distinct mRNA species, and its 3' end was partially colinear with a 1.5-kb mRNA which encoded a 35,000-dalton polypeptide. The 6-kb mRNA encoded a 155,000-dalton polypeptide which was shown to be the only one of this size detectable by hybrid-arrested translation encoded by late polyadenylated polyribosomal RNA. The S1 nuclease mapping experiments indicated that there were no introns in the coding sequence for this mRNA and that its 3' end mapped approximately 800 nucleotides to the left of the BglII site at 0.231, whereas its 5' end extended very close to the BamHI site at 0.266. 相似文献

A peptide encompassing the N-terminal 82 amino acids of simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen was previously shown to bind to the large subunit of DNA polymerase alpha-primase (I. Dornreiter, A. Höss, A. K. Arthur, and E. Fanning, EMBO J. 9:3329-3336, 1990). We report here that a mutant T antigen, T83-708, lacking residues 2 to 82 retained the ability to bind to DNA polymerase alpha-primase, implying that it carries a second binding site for DNA polymerase alpha-primase. The mutant protein also retained ATPase, helicase, and SV40 origin DNA-binding activity. However, its SV40 DNA replication activity in vitro was reduced compared with that of wild-type protein. The reduction in replication activity was accompanied by a lower DNA-binding affinity to SV40 origin sequences and aberrant oligomerization on viral origin DNA. Thus, the first 82 residues of SV40 T antigen are not strictly required for its interaction with DNA polymerase alpha-primase or for DNA replication function but may play a role in correct hexamer assembly and efficient DNA binding at the origin. 相似文献

32P-labeled, late simian virus 40-specific RNA was isoalted from infected CV1 cells and completely degraded with RNase T2 and bacterial alkaline phosphatase. The RNase-resistant material was fractionated two dimensionally and further characterized with Penicillium nuclease and nucleotide pyrophosphatase. Two major 5' termini were identified in late simian virus 40 RNA, namely, 7-methyl Gppp 2',6-dimethyl ApUp and 7-methyl Gppp 2',6-dimethyl Ap 2'-methyl, UpUp. Both 5' termini are present in unfractionated viral RNA as well as in the separated 16S and 19S species. As both caps differ only in secondary modification, it is possible that they are derived from the same site on the DNA. The relatively higher cap II content of the 16S mRNA may be related to its slower rate of turnover. 相似文献

The simian virus 40 (SV40) mutant tsA1499 contains an 81-base-pair deletion in the region of A gene encoding the C-terminal portion of the large T antigen. This mutant is particularly interesting, since it is a temperature-sensitive mutant that is apparently able to separate the lytic growth and transforming functions of the SV40 large T antigen at 38.5 degrees C. We report the isolation of a tsA1499 revertant (tsA1499-Rev) which is no longer temperature sensitive for lytic growth but still contains the 81-base-pair deletion of tsA1499. Marker rescue experiments with tsA1499-Rev or wild-type strain 830 (wt830) DNAs revealed that the original tsA1499 mutant contained a second mutation within the HindIII-Fnu4HI restriction fragment between 0.425 and 0.484 map units. Sequencing of this DNA fragment from the tsA1499, tsA1499-Rev, and wt830 viruses revealed that tsA1499 contained a single-base transversion (C to G) at 0.455 map units (nucleotide 4261). This transversion resulted in the creation of a new RsaI cleavage site in the tsA1499 DNA and predicts an arginine-to-threonine substitution at amino acid position 186 in the mutant large T antigen. The DNA sequence of the tsA1499-Rev HindIII-Fnu4HI fragment was identical to that of wt830. To determine whether tsA1499 was temperature sensitive for lytic growth solely as a result of the newly discovered point mutation or because of a combination of the point and deletion mutations, a series of viruses were constructed which contained the point mutation, the deletion mutation, both mutations, or neither. This was done by ligating the PstI A and B DNA fragments from either tsA1499 or wt830 and transfecting the ligated DNA into BSC-1H monkey kidney cells. This experiment revealed that all viruses containing the point mutation (the tsA1499 PstI A DNA fragment) were temperature sensitive for lytic growth, regardless of the presence of the 81-base-pair deletion (the tsA1499 PstI B DNA fragment). This newly discovered point mutation, at nucleotide 4261, is therefore unique, since to our knowledge it is the first tsA mutation to be described in the 0.455-map-unit region of the SV40 genome. We then tested the effect of this unique mutation on the ability of the SV40 virus to transform cultured rat cells to anchorage independence.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献
