چکیده

Alterations occur in the supercoiled form of viral DNA after the serial undiluted passaging of simian virus (SV) 40. We have identified a portion of the viral genome which is amplified during this process. These SV40 DNA sequences represent about 30% of the viral genetic information and are present in a reiterated form in twisted circular molecules prepared from purified virions. In addition, reiterated and unique green monkey DNA sequences are incorporated into supercoiled viral DNA. The cellular DNA appears to be inserted at numerous locations in the DNA I molecules.

Acquisition of sequences homologous to host DNA by closed circular simian virus 40 DNA. II. Further studies on the serial passage of virus clones.

Three plaque isolates of SV40 strain 777 and 1 plaque isolate of strain 776 were grown to high-titer stocks and serially passaged, undiluted, in monkey BS-C-1 cells. In each case, the serial passaging procedure resulted in the accumulation of closed-circular SV40 DNA molecules containing covalently linked sequences homologous to reiterated host cell DNA (called substituted virus DNA). The relat...

Indiscriminate recombination in simian virus 40-infected monkey cells.

DNA transfection of African green monkey BSC-1 cells with simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA and bacterial virus phi X174 replicative form DNA ("cotransfection") yielded stocks containing SV40/phi X174 recombinant virus, which was detected by an infectious-center in situ plaque hybridization procedure and which was sensitive to anti-SV40 antiserum. The recombinant virus replicated during serial passage...

Studies on a defective variant of simian virus 40 that is substituted with DNA sequences derived from monkey DNA. I. Origin, properties, and purification.

Serial passage of plaque-purified simian virus 40 at high multiplicity in monkey kidney cells produces defective virus. A particular series of such passages, in which the defective genomes contain substitutions by host (monkey) DNA sequences, is described here. The suspensions of virus obtained during the passaging are shown to be defective by the usual criteria, namely, a decreased yield of pl...

DNA replication efficiency depends on transcription factor-binding sites.

Naturally arising variants of simian virus 40 (SV40), generated by serial passage of the virus at high multiplicities of infection, provide important insight into the role of transcription factor-binding sites in enhancing DNA replication. Although the variants that arise from numerous recombination events are the result of selective pressure to replicate more efficiently than the other variant...

Recombination in Simian Virus 40-infected Cells

The complete nucleotide sequence has been determined for three newly cloned evolutionary variants from two different independently generated evolutionary series ( 1 100 and 2100 series) of simian virus 4 0 (SV40). These naturally arising variants, designated ev-1110, ev-2102, and eu-2114, were isolated after five high multiplicity serial passages. The structure of the variants consists of a mon...
