Comparison of two viable variants of simian virus 40.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The DNAs of two viable strains of simian virus 40, 776 and 777, have been compared by using restriction endonucleases. Differences between the two strains were detected at five separate points on the simian virus 40 genome. One of these differences, in the region of DNA coding for the major viral coat protein, was confirmed by tryptic peptide analysis of coat proteins from the two strains. Some physiological differences between the two strains were examined and can, in general, be explained by differences observed between the DNAs of the two strains. In addition, defective variants derived from strain 777 interfere more efficiently with the replication of strain 777 than with the replication of strain 776.

Isolation of two plaque variants from the adenovirus type 2-simian virus 40 hybrid population which differ in their efficiency in yielding simian virus 40.
Studies on the adenovirus type 2-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid population demonstrated two genetically stable variants within this population, which were isolated by plaquing in African green monkey kidney cells. These variants were similar in that each induced SV40 T antigen in human embryonic kidney cells and contained similar concentrations of nonhybrid adenovirus type 2 virions and adenovir...
متن کاملConstruction of a viable simian virus 40 variant that carries a poly[d(GT) . d(CA)] insertion.
A 90-base-pair tract of a simple sequence composed of alternating guanosine and thymidine nucleotide residues (poly[d(GT) . d(CA)]) was inserted into the simian virus 40 genome at nucleotide 2666 (0.17 map units). The poly[d(GT) . d(CA)] insertion was stably maintained in the viral genome, but the variant virus grew more slowly than simian virus 40.
متن کاملMutant carrying deletions in the two simian virus 40 early genes.
We isolated a simian virus 40 mutant, dl2194, which carried deletions in both early genes. One deletion removed 234 base pairs in the 54/59 region within the small-t-antigen coding sequence and the large-T-antigen gene intron. The second deletion removed 57 base pairs at the C terminus of the large-T-antigen coding sequence (0.20 map unit). dl2194 was a viable mutant, it carried a normal helper...
متن کاملDefinition of the boundaries of the origin of DNA replication in simian virus 40.
We have determined by use of DNA sequencing techniques the exact location of the deletion in d1 892, a viable deletion mutant of Simian virus 40 (SV40) reported to map very near the unique replication origin or SV40. With the help of this localization we have narrowed down the boundaries of the replication origin to 85 nucleotides within the sequence of SV40.
متن کاملSelective toxicity induced by picolinic acid in simian virus 40-transformed cells in tissue culture.
When cultured normal and SV40-transformed normal rat kidney and BALB/3T3 cells were exposed to picolinic acid, cell proliferation ceases. Most of the normal cells remained in a quiescent G1 (G0) state and viable for prolonged periods of time. In contrast, SV40-transformed cells progressed to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle and remained viable only up to 90 to 120 hr. Then, most of the cel...
