Localization of the 5' terminus of late SV40 mRNA.

چکیده
A cap-containing oligonucleotide has been isolated from a T1 ribonuclease hydrolysate of total Simian Virus 40-specific late RNA and its structure has been determined as 7mG(5')ppp(5') mAmpU(m)pUp(Up,Cp)ApGp. This oligonucleotide constitutes the major 5' terminus of both late mRNA species, 16S and 19S. Assuming that viral mRNA "caps" are derived from a 5'-terminal triphosphate or diphosphate, these results mean that late transcription is (mainly) initiated at nucleotide L 308 (numbering system of Simian Virus 40 DNA, cf. Fiers et al. (1978) Nature, 273, 113-120). The cap is followed by a contiguous leader sequence which is at least 194 nucleotides long.

Post-transcriptional processing of simian virus 40 late transcripts in injected frog oocytes.
The capacity of fully grown Xenopus oocytes to process messenger RNA precursors has been assessed using transcripts synthesized from simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA microinjected into the oocyte nucleus. In oocytes, stable transcripts of the SV40 virion protein genes have undergone at least four post-transcriptional maturation steps: cleavage at 3' splice sites, formation of a mature 3' terminus, ad...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of a fragment of SV40 DNA that contains the origin of DNA replication and specifies the 5' ends of "early" and "late" viral RNA. IV. Localization of the SV40 DNA complementary to the 5' ends of viral mRNA.
Cytoplasmic mRNA isolated from cells infected with SV40 was isolated by passage over oligo(dT)-cellulose columns. This RNA was annealed to SV40 DNA fragments produced by cleavage with EcoRII endonuclease. The RNA resistant to RNase digestion was analyzed by digestion with ribonucleases and oligonucleotide mapping. The results were compared with oligonucleotides from in vitro transcripts of the ...
متن کاملMapping the transcription site of the SV40-specific late 16 S mRNA.
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....
متن کاملExpression of the late gene of simian virus 40 under the control of the simian virus 40 early-region promoter in monkey and mouse cells.
We constructed a recombinant plasmid (pVNR4) with the simian virus 40 (SV40) early promoter positioned 30 nucleotides upstream from the major SV40 late transcription initiation site at residue 325. After transfection of the recombinant plasmid DNA into COS and mouse L cells, the transcripts of the SV40 late region were analyzed by S1 nuclease and primer extension analysis. The following are the...
متن کاملThe transcription of the SV40 genome in productively infected and transformed cells.
A particular feature of cells which have been transformed by DNA-containing tumor viruses is the restricted expression of the viral genome. These cells do not display any of the viral functions which occur late during a productive cycle of infection-such as extensive replication of the viral DNA, production of viral coat protein, and maturation of infectious viral progeny. They do contain, howe...
