Simian virus 40 (SV40) small t antigen inhibits SV40 DNA replication in vitro.
We describe a biochemical function of simian virus 40 small t antigen, the inhibition of simian virus 40 large T antigen-mediated viral DNA replication in an in vitro replication system. Our results suggest that in this system, small t antigen prevents protein phosphatase 2A-mediated activation of large T antigen.
متن کاملSimian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication: SV40 large T antigen unwinds DNA containing the SV40 origin of replication.
The simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (large tumor antigen), in conjunction with a topoisomerase, a DNA binding protein, and ATP, catalyzed the conversion of a circular duplex DNA molecule containing the SV40 origin of replication to a form with unusual electrophoretic mobility that we have named form U. Analysis of this molecule revealed it to be a highly underwound covalently closed circ...
متن کاملThe SV40 large T-antigen helicase can unwind four stranded DNA structures linked by G-quartets.
We describe a novel activity of the SV40 large T-ag helicase, the unwinding of four stranded DNA structures linked by stacked G-quartets, namely stacked groups of four guanine bases bound by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds. The structures unwound by the helicase were of two types: (i) quadruplexes comprising four parallel strands that were generated by annealing oligonucleotides including clustered G ...
متن کاملc-myc protein can be substituted for SV40 T antigen in SV40 DNA replication.
Replicating activity of SV40 origin-containing plasmid was tested in human cells as well as in monkey CosI cells. All the plasmids possessing SV40 ori sequences could replicate, even in the absence of SV40 T antigen, in human HL-60 and Raji cells which are expressing c-myc gene at high level. The copy numbers of the replicated plasmids in these human cells were 1/100 as high as in monkey CosI c...
متن کاملRecognition sites of eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I: DNA nucleotide sequencing analysis of topo I cleavage sites on SV40 DNA.
Eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I introduces transient single-stranded breaks on double-stranded DNA and spontaneously breaks down single-stranded DNA. The cleavage sites on both single and double-stranded SV40 DNA have been determined by DNA sequencing. Consistent with other reports, the eukaryotic enzymes, in contrast to prokaryotic type I topoisomerases, links to the 3'-end of the cleaved DNA a...
