Simian virus 40 major late promoter: a novel tripartite structure that includes intragenic sequences.
Unlike most genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II, the simian virus 40 late transcription unit does not have a TATA box. To determine what sequences are required for initiation at the major late mRNA cap site of simian virus 40, clustered point mutations were constructed and tested for transcriptional activity in vitro and in vivo. Three promoter elements were defined. The first is centered 31...
متن کاملChromatin structure of the simian virus 40 late promoter: a deletional analysis.
The goal of this study was to determine the minimal sequence within the simian virus 40 (SV40) late promoter region, nucleotides (nt) 255 to 424, capable of phasing nucleosomes as measured by its ability to confer the greatest endonuclease sensitivity on adjacent DNA sequences. To identify the minimal sequence, a deletional analysis of the late region was performed by utilizing a SV40 recombina...
متن کاملSequences locating the 5' ends of the major simian virus 40 late mRNA forms.
The 5' sequences of late mRNA specified by several constructed or naturally occurring deletion or duplication mutants of simian virus 40 were examined. The mutants included viruses with various small deletions centered about 25 nucleotides upstream from the major transcription initiation site, as well as viruses containing tandem duplications of a sequence of 50 nucleotides or less embedding th...
متن کاملSimian virus 40 infection triggers a balanced network that includes apoptotic, survival, and stress pathways.
The infection process by simian virus 40 (SV40) and entry of its genome into nondividing cells are only partly understood. Infection begins by binding to GM1 receptors at the cell surface, cellular entry via caveolar invaginations, and trafficking to the endoplasmic reticulum, where the virus disassembles. To gain a deeper insight into the contribution of host functions to this process, we stud...
متن کاملStimulation of simian virus 40 late gene expression by simian virus 40 tumor antigen.
The early simian virus 40 (SV40) gene product, large tumor (T) antigen, is responsible for the initiation of viral DNA replication and the autoregulation of early gene expression through direct protein-DNA interactions. We investigated the role of T antigen in late viral gene expression, independent of its function in amplifying templates through DNA replication. SV40 DNA was transfected into B...
