Topoisomerase activity is associated with purified SV40 T antigen.
Purified SV40 T antigen has been assayed for topoisomerase activity. The ability to relax negatively-supercoiled SV40 DNA was found in preparations of T antigen purified either from human 293 cells infected with Ad5-SVR111 virus or from insect Sf9 cells infected with recombinant baculovirus 941T. The T antigen-associated relaxing activity was stimulated by MgCl2 and was not dependent on ATP, su...
متن کاملTopoisomerase activity associated with SV40 large tumor antigen.
Purified preparations of simian virus 40 (SV40) large tumor antigen (LT) from three different sources, including LT expressed from a recombinant baculovirus, were found to relax negatively supercoiled cyclic DNA molecules, whether or not they contained SV40 sequences. Relaxation was stimulated by MgCl2 but not by ATP, and inhibited by camptothecin, suggesting the involvement of an enzymatic act...
متن کاملThe SV40 T antigen modulates CBP histone acetyltransferase activity.
Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) play a key role in transcription control, cell proliferation and differentiation by modulating chromatin structure; however, little is known about their own regulation. Here we show that expression of the viral oncoprotein SV40 T antigen increases histone acetylation and global cellular HAT activities. In addition, it enhances CREB-binding protein HAT activity ...
متن کاملInteraction between the N-terminus of human topoisomerase I and SV40 large T antigen.
We have attempted to identify human topoisomerase I-binding proteins in order to gain information regarding the cellular roles of this protein and the cytotoxic mechanisms of the anticancer drug camptothecin, which specifically targets topoisomerase I. In the course of this work we identified an interaction between the N-terminus of human topoisomerase I and the SV40 T antigen that is detectabl...
متن کاملSV40 T-antigen is required for maintenance of immortal growth in SV40-transformed human fibroblasts.
Two lines of immortal human fibroblasts were isolated following transfection of TIG-3 cells with plasmid DNA, pMT-1ODtsA, that contained SV40 early gene with a deletion in replication origin and ts mutation in coding sequence for T-antigen. These cells continued proliferation at 34 degrees C, over 565 population doubling level (PDL) which is far over the limited division potential of untransfor...
