UV irradiation of simian virus 40-infected cells at fluences between 20 and 60 J/m2, which yield one to three pyrimidine dimers per simian virus 40 genome, leads to a fluence-dependent progressive decrease in simian virus 40 DNA replication as assayed by incorporation of [3H]deoxyribosylthymine into viral DNA. We used a variety of biochemical and biophysical techniques to show that this decrease is due to a block in the progression of replicative-intermediate molecules to completed form I molecules, with a concomitant decrease in the entry of molecules into the replicating pool. Despite this UV-induced inhibition of replication, some pyrimidine dimer-containing molecules become fully replicated after UV irradiation. The fraction of completed molecules containing dimers goes up with time such that by 3 h after a UV fluence of 40 J/m2, more than 50% of completed molecules contain pyrimidine dimers. We postulate that the cellular replication machinery can accommodate limited amounts of UV-induced damage and that the progressive decrease in simian virus 40 DNA synthesis after UV irradiation is due to the accumulation in the replication pool of blocked molecules containing levels of damage greater than that which can be tolerated. 相似文献

We have analyzed the structural characteristics of simian virus 40 replicative intermediate DNA produced after UV irradiation and the kinetics of conversion of this intermediate DNA into form I DNA. Replicative intermediate DNA isolated at 30 or 60 min after UV irradiation consists primarily of two species of molecules that sediment in neutral sucrose gradients as either Cairns theta structures or relaxed monomeric circles. Replication forks on the Cairns intermediate DNA are symmetrically located with respect to the origin of replication, ruling out the possibility of asymmetric pauses or blocks to replication fork progression at damage sites. The relaxed circles contain at least one randomly located discontinuity in the daughter strand. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that a UV fluence-dependent fraction of the Cairns intermediate DNA progresses through the relaxed circular intermediate before being converted to completed form I molecules. Disappearance of Cairns intermediate DNA occurs at the same rate in irradiated and unirradiated cells, whereas completion of the relaxed circular intermediate DNA occurs at a slow rate, relatively independent of UV fluence. These data support a model for replication of UV-damaged DNA in which replication rapidly continues past damage sites via a gap formation event. 相似文献

Applying an in situ cell fractionation procedure, we analyzed structural systems of the cell nucleus for the presence of mature and replicating simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA. Replicating SV40 DNA intermediates were tightly and quantitatively associated with the nuclear matrix, indicating that elongation processes of SV40 DNA replication proceed at this structure. Isolated nuclei as well as nuclear matrices were able to continue SV40 DNA elongation under replication conditions in situ, arguing for a coordinated and functional association of SV40 DNA and large T molecules at nuclear structures. SV40 DNA replication also was terminated at the nuclear matrix. While the bulk of newly synthesized, mature SV40 DNA molecules then remained at this structure, some left the nuclear matrix and accumulated at the chromatin. 相似文献

Non-specific termination of simian virus 40 DNA replication. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Axial X-ray diffraction patterns have been studied from relaxed, contracted and rigor vertebrate striated muscles at different sarcomere lengths to determine which features of the patterns depend on the interaction of actin and myosin. The intensity of the myosin layer lines in a live, relaxed muscle is sometimes less in a stretched muscle than in the muscle at rest-length; the intensity depends not only on the sarcomere length but on the time that has elapsed since dissection of the muscle. The movement of cross-bridges giving rise to these intensity changes are not caused solely by the withdrawal of actin from the A-band.When a muscle contracts or passes into rigor many changes occur that are independent of the sarcomere length: the myosin layer lines decrease in intensity to about 30% of their initial value when the muscle contracts, and disappear completely when the muscle passes into rigor. Both in contracting and rigor muscles at all sarcomere lengths the spacings of the meridional reflections at 143 Å and 72 Å are 1% greater than from a live relaxed muscle at rest-length. It is deduced that the initial movement of cross-bridges from their positions in resting muscle does not depend on the interaction of each cross-bridge with actin, but on a conformational change in the backbone of the myosin filament: occurring as a result of activation. The possibility is discussed that the conformational change occurs because the myosin filament, like the actin filament, has an activation control mechanism. Finally, all the X-ray diffraction patterns are interpreted on a model in which the myosin filament can exist in one of two possible states: a relaxed state which gives a diffraction pattern with strong myosin layer lines and an axial spacing of 143.4 Å, and an activated state which gives no layer lines but a meridional spacing of 144.8 Å. 相似文献

Exogenously added simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA can be replicated semiconservatively in vitro by a mixture of a soluble extract of HeLa cell nuclei and the cytoplasm from SV40-infected CosI cells. When cloned DNA was used as a template, the clone containing the SV40 origin of DNA replication was active, but a clone lacking the SV40 origin was inactive. The major products of the in vitro reaction were form I and form II SV40 DNAs and a small amount of form III. DNA synthesis in extracts began at or near the in vivo origin of SV40 DNA synthesis and proceeded bidirectionally. The reaction was inhibited by the addition of anti-large T hamster serum, aphidicolin, or RNase but not by ddNTP. Furthermore, this system was partially reconstituted between HeLa nuclear extract and the semipurified SV40 T antigen instead of the CosI cytoplasm. It is clear from these two systems that the proteins containing SV40 T antigen change the nonspecific repair reaction performed by HeLa nuclear extract alone to the specific semiconservative DNA replication reaction. These results show that these in vitro systems closely resemble SV40 DNA replication in vivo and provide an assay that should be useful for the purification and subsequent characterization of viral and cellular proteins involved in DNA replication. 相似文献

Involvement of DNA polymerase alpha in simian virus 40 DNA replication. 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28

Studies of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vitro have identified a small (approximately 30-nucleotide) RNA-DNA hybrid species termed primer-DNA. Initial experiments indicated that T antigen and the polymerase alpha-primase complex are required to form primer-DNA. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and presumably proliferating cell nuclear antigen-dependent polymerases, is not needed to form this species. Herein, we present an investigation of the stages at which primer-DNA functions during SV40 DNA replication in vitro. Hybridization studies indicate that primer-DNA is initially formed in the origin region and is subsequently synthesized in regions distal to the origin. At all time points, primer-DNA is synthesized from templates for lagging-strand DNA replication. These studies indicate that primer-DNA functions during both initiation and elongation stages of SV40 DNA synthesis. Results of additional experiments suggesting a precursor-product relationship between formation of primer-DNA and Okazaki fragments are presented. 相似文献

Essentially all of the Okazaki fragments on replicating Simian virus 40 (SV40)DNA could be grouped into one of three classes. Class I Okazaki fragments (about 20%) were separated from longer nascent DNA chains by a single phosphodiester bond interruption (nick) and were quantitatively identified by treating purified replicating DNA with Escherichia coli DNA ligase and then measuring the fraction of Okazaki fragments joined to longer nascent DNA chains. Similarly, class II Okazaki fragments (about 30%) were separated by a region of single-stranded DNA template (gap) that could be filled and sealed by T4 DNA polymerase plus E. coli DNA ligase, and class III fragments (about 50%) were separated by RNA primers that could be removed with E. coli DNA olymerase I, allowing the fragments to be joined with E. coli DNA ligase. These results were obtained with replicating SV40 DNA that had been briefly labeled with radioactive precursors in either intact cells or isolated nuclei. When isolated nuclei were further incubated in the presence of cytosol, all of the Okazaki fragments were converted into longer DNA strands as expected for intermediates in DNA synthesis. However, when washed nuclei were incubated in the abscence of cytosol, both class I and class II Okazaki fragments accumulated despite the excision of RNA primers: class III Okazaki fragments and RNA-DNA covalent linkages both disappeared at similar rates. These data demonstrate the existence of RNA primers in whole cells as well as in isolated nuclei, and identify a unique gap-filling step that is not simply an extension of the DNA chain elongation process concomitant with the excision of RNA primers. One or more factos found in cytosol, in addition to DNA polymerase alpha, are specifically involved in the gap-filling and ligation steps. The sizes of mature Okazaki fragments (class I) and Okazaki fragments whose synthesis was completed by T4 DNA polymerase were measured by gel electrophoresis and found to be broadly distributed between 40 and 290 nucleotides with an average length of 135 nucleotides. Since 80% and 90% of the Okazaments does not occur at uniformly spaced intervals along the DNA template. During the excision of RNA primers, nascent DNA chains with a single ribonucleotide covalently attached to the 5' terminus were identified as transient intermediates. These intermediates accumulated during excision of RNA primers in the presence of adenine 9-beta-D-arabinoside 5'-triphosphate, and those Okazaki fragments blocked by RNA primers (class III) were found to have originated the farthest from the 5' ends of long nascent DNA strands. Thus, RNA primers appear to be excised in two steps with the second step, removal of the final ribonucleotide, being stimulated by concomitant DNA synthesis. These and other data were used to construct a comprehensive metabolic pathway for the initiation, elongation, and maturation of Okazaki fragments at mammalian DNA replication forks. 相似文献

The recruitment of DNA polymerase alpha-primase (pol-prim) is a crucial step in the establishment of a functional replication complex in eukaryotic cells, but the mechanism of pol-prim loading and the composition of the eukaryotic primosome are poorly understood. In the model system for simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vitro, synthesis of RNA primers at the origin of replication requires only the viral tumor (T) antigen, replication protein A (RPA), pol-prim, and topoisomerase I. On RPA-coated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), T antigen alone mediates priming by pol-prim, constituting a relatively simple primosome. T-antigen activities proposed to participate in its primosome function include DNA helicase and protein-protein interactions with RPA and pol-prim. To test the role of these activities of T antigen in mediating priming by pol-prim, three replication-defective T antigens with mutations in the ATPase or helicase domain have been characterized. All three mutant proteins interacted physically and functionally with RPA and pol-prim and bound ssDNA, and two of them displayed some helicase activity. However, only one of these, 5030, mediated primer synthesis and elongation by pol-prim on RPA-coated ssDNA. The results suggest that a novel activity, present in 5030 T antigen and absent in the other two mutants, is required for T-antigen primosome function. 相似文献

We have combined in vitro DNA replication reactions and immunological techniques to analyze biochemical interactions between simian virus (SV40) large T antigen and components of the cellular replication apparatus. First, in vitro SV40 DNA replication was characterized with specific origin mutants. Next, monoclonal antibodies were used to demonstrate that a specific domain of T antigen formed a complex with cellular DNA polymerase alpha. Several antibodies were identified that coprecipitated T antigen and DNA polymerase alpha, while others were found to selectively prevent this interaction and concomitantly inhibit DNA replication. DNA polymerase alpha also bound efficiently to a T-antigen affinity column, confirming the immunoprecipitation results and providing a useful method for purification of the complete protein complex. Taken together, these results suggest that the T-antigen-polymerase association may be a key step in the initiation of SV40 DNA replication. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40)-containing DNA was rescued after the fusion of SV40-transformed VLM cells with permissive COS1 monkey cells and cloned, and prototype plasmid clones were characterized. A 2-kilobase mouse DNA fragment fused with the rescued SV40 DNA, and derived from mouse DNA flanking the single insert of SV40 DNA in VLM cells, was sequenced. Insertion of the intact rescued mouse sequence, or two nonoverlapping fragments of it, into wild-type SV40 plasmid DNA suppressed replication of the plasmid in TC7 monkey cells, although the plasmids expressed replication-competent T antigen. Rat cells were transformed with linearized wild-type SV40 plasmid DNA with or without fragments of the mouse DNA in cis. Although all of the rat cell lines expressed approximately equal amounts of T antigen and p53, transformants carrying SV40 DNA linked to either of the same two replication suppressor fragments produced significantly less free SV40 DNA after fusion with permissive cells than those transformed by SV40 DNA without a cellular insert or with a cellular insert lacking suppressor activity. The results suggest that two independent segments of cellular DNA act in cis to suppress SV40 replication in vivo, either as a plasmid or integrated in chromosomal DNA. 相似文献

Insertion of DNA segments into the nuclease-sensitive region of simian virus 40 alters both replication efficiency and chromatin structure. Mutants containing large insertions between the simian virus 40 origin of replication (ori site) and the 21-base-pair repeated sequences replicated poorly when assayed by transfection into COS-1 cells. Replication of mutants with shorter insertions was moderately reduced. This effect was cis-acting and independent of the nucleotide sequence of the insert. The nuclease-sensitive chromatin structure was retained in these mutants, but the pattern of cleavage sites was displaced in the late direction from the ori site. New cleavage sites appeared within the inserted sequences, suggesting that information specifying the nuclease-sensitive chromatin structure is located on the late side of the inserts. Accessibility to BglI (which cleaves within the ori site) was reduced in the larger insertion mutants. These results support the conclusion that efficient function of the viral origin of replication is correlated with its proximity to an altered chromatin structure. 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

We report here a mammalian cell-free system that can support chromatin assembly. Effective nucleosome assembly in HeLa cell extracts occurred at 125 to 200 mM KCl or potassium glutamate. At this physiological K+ ion concentration, two types of chromatin assembly were observed. The first was interfered with by Mg2+. Other cations such as Mn2+, Ca2+, Fe3+, and spermidine also inhibited this type of nucleosome assembly. The second type of assembly occurred in the presence of Mg2+ and at least equimolar ATP. However, even in the presence of ATP, excess Mg2+ inhibited assembly and promoted catenation of DNA; these effects could be circumvented by excess ATP, GTP, EDTA, or polyglutamic acid. The critical DNA concentration for optimum assembly in both pathways suggested a stoichiometric association of histones with DNA. The spacing of nucleosomes formed by both types of assembly on linear and circular DNA was reasonably regular, but chromatin assembled in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ was more stable. 相似文献

Transformed monkey cell lines (CMT and BMT) that inducible express simian virus 40 (SV40) T antigen from the metallothionein promoter have been isolated and characterized. Immunoprecipitation of pulse-labeled T antigen demonstrates a 5- to 12-fold increase in the rate of synthesis on addition of heavy-metal inducers to the culture medium. Radioimmunoassay of cell extracts indicates the accumulation of three- to fourfold more total T antigen after 2 days of induction by comparison with uninduced controls. A direct correlation was found between the level of T-antigen synthesis and the extent of SV40 DNA replication in inducible cells. Inducible BMT cells expressing a low basal level of T antigen were efficiently transformed by a vector carrying the neomycin resistance marker and an SV40 origin of replication. These vector sequences were maintained in an episomal form in most G418-resistant cell lines examined and persisted even in the absence of biochemical selection. Extensive rearrangements were observed only if the vector contained bacterial plasmid sequences. Expression of a protein product under the control of the SV40 late promoter in such vectors was increased after heavy-metal-dependent amplification of the template. These results demonstrate the ability of BMT cells to maintain a cloned eucaryotic gene in an amplifiable episomal state. 相似文献

Mouse 3T3 fibroblasts were found to complement, in simian cell variants semipermissive to simian virus 40, a cold-sensitive defect of an early function, but not a nonconditional defect of viral uncoating. The variant simian cells could rescue simian virus 40 from 3T3 transformants, and this capacity was not temperature dependent. 相似文献

Initiation points for DNA replication in nontransformed and simian virus 40-transformed Chinese hamster lung cells. 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
Randomly growing Chinese hamster lung cells were pulse-labeled with 3H-thymidine, and the replicating forks of individual DNA fibers were visualized by autoradiography. When grown in complete medium, wild-type SV40-transformed cells had more forks per unit length of DNA than nontransformed cells. In isoleucine-depleted medium, wild-type SV40-transformed cells had fewer forks per unit length than those few nontransformed cells (1-3% of the population) which continued DNA replication. Cells transformed by a tsA mutant of SV40 when grown at the permissive temperature had more forks per unit length in complete medium and fewer forks per unit length in depleted medium than nontransformed cells, but when grown at the restrictive temperature, the tsA-transformed cells behaved like nontransformed cells. 相似文献

We inserted a single base pair into the center of a 27-base-pair palindrome within the replication origin of simian virus 40. The mutation did not directly alter the symmetry of the palindrome or the protein-binding sequences within the palindrome. DNA binding studies showed that subunits of the simian virus 40 A protein (T antigen) bound to each of the four recognition pentanucleotides in the origin palindrome but did so with reduced affinity in comparison with wild-type origins. The mutant origin cloned in a plasmid DNA failed to replicate in COS cells. Thus, precise spatial interactions among subunits of A protein are necessary for stable origin binding and are crucial for subsequent steps in the initiation of DNA replication. Furthermore, any possible functional interactions of the simian virus 40 A protein with cellular DNA would require a great fidelity of protein binding arrangements to initiate cellular DNA replication. 相似文献

Purification of DNA polymerase delta as an essential simian virus 40 DNA replication factor. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
DNA replication from the SV40 origin can be reconstituted in vitro using purified SV40 large T antigen, cellular topoisomerases I and II, replication factor A (RF-A), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), replication factor C (RF-C), and a phosphocellulose fraction (IIA) made from human cell extracts (S100). Fraction IIA contains all DNA polymerase activity required for replication in vitro in addition to other factors. A newly identified factor has been purified from fraction IIA. This factor is required for complete reconstitution of SV40 DNA replication and co-purifies with a PCNA-stimulated DNA polymerase activity. This DNA polymerase activity is sensitive to aphidicolin, but is not inhibited by butylanilinodeoxyadenosine triphosphate or by monoclonal antibodies which block synthesis by DNA polymerase alpha. The polymerase activity is synergistically stimulated by the combination of RF-A, PCNA, and RF-C in an ATP-dependent manner. Purified calf thymus polymerase delta can fully replace the purified factor in DNA replication assays. We conclude that this factor, required for reconstitution of SV40 DNA replication in vitro, corresponds to human DNA polymerase delta. 相似文献
