The replicating activity of several cloned DNAs containing putative origin sequences was examined in a cell-free extract that absolutely depends on simian virus 40 (SV40) T antigen promoting initiation of SV40 DNA replication in vitro. Of the three DNAs containing the human Alu family sequence (BLUR8), the origin of (Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasmid 2 micron DNA (pJD29), and the yeast autonomous replicating sequence (YRp7), only BLUR8 was active as a template. Replication in a reaction mixture with BLUR8 as a template was semiconservative and not primed by a putative RNA polymerase III transcript synthesized on the Alu family sequence in vitro. Pulse-chase experiments showed that the small-sized DNA produced in a short-term incubation was converted to full-length closed circular and open circular DNAs in alkaline sucrose gradients. DNA synthesis in extracts began in a region of the Alu family sequence and was inhibited 80% by the addition of anti-T serum. Furthermore, partially purified T antigen bound the Alu family sequence in BLUR8 by the DNA-binding immunoassay. These results suggest that SV40 T antigen recognizes the Alu family sequence, similar to the origin sequence of SV40 DNA, and initiates semiconservative DNA replication in vitro.

The replication of DNA containing either the polyoma or SV40 origin has been done in vitro . Each system requires its cognate large-tumour antigen (T antigen) and extracts from cells that support its replication in vivo . The host-cell source of DNA polymerase α - primase complex plays an important role in discriminating between polyoma T antigen and SV40 T antigen-dependent replication of their homologous DNA. The SV40 origin- and T antigen-dependent DNA replication has been reconstituted in vitro with purified protein components isolated from HeLa cells. In addition to SV40 T antigen, HeLa DNA polymerase α - primase complex, eukaryotic topoisomerase I and a single-strand DNA binding protein from HeLa cells are required. The latter activity, isolated solely by its ability to support SV40 DNA replication, sediments and copurifies with two major protein species of 72 and 76 kDa. Although crude fractions yielded closed circular monomer products, the purified system does not. However, the addition of crude fractions to the purified system resulted in the formation of replicative form I (RFI) products. We have separated the replication reaction with purified components into multiple steps. In an early step, T antigen in conjunction with a eukaryotic topoisomerase (or DNA gyrase) and a DNA binding protein, catalyses the conversion of a circular duplex DNA molecule containing the SV40 origin to a highly underwound covalently closed circle. This reaction requires the action of a helicase activity and the SV40 T antigen preparation contains such an activity. The T antigen associated ability to unwind DNA copurified with other activities intrinsic to T antigen (ability to support replication of SV40 DNA containing the SV40 origin, poly dT-stimulated ATPase activity and DNA helicase).

A number of proteins have been isolated from human cells on the basis of their ability to support DNA replication in vitro of the simian virus 40 (SV40) origin of DNA replication. One such protein, replication factor C (RFC), functions with the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), replication protein A (RPA), and DNA polymerase delta to synthesize the leading strand at a replication fork. To determine whether these proteins perform similar roles during replication of DNA from origins in cellular chromosomes, we have begun to characterize functionally homologous proteins from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. RFC from S. cerevisiae was purified by its ability to stimulate yeast DNA polymerase delta on a primed single-stranded DNA template in the presence of yeast PCNA and RPA. Like its human-cell counterpart, RFC from S. cerevisiae (scRFC) has an associated DNA-activated ATPase activity as well as a primer-template, structure-specific DNA binding activity. By analogy with the phage T4 and SV40 DNA replication in vitro systems, the yeast RFC, PCNA, RPA, and DNA polymerase delta activities function together as a leading-strand DNA replication complex. Now that RFC from S. cerevisiae has been purified, all seven cellular factors previously shown to be required for SV40 DNA replication in vitro have been identified in S. cerevisiae.

Hybrid Complexes

Human cell extracts efficiently support replication of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA in vitro, while mouse cell extracts do not. Since human DNA polymerase alpha-primase is the major species-specific factor, we set out to determine the subunit(s) of DNA polymerase alpha-primase required for this species specificity. Recombinant human, mouse, and hybrid human-mouse DNA polymerase alpha-primase complexes were expressed with baculovirus vectors and purified. All of the recombinant DNA polymerase alpha-primases showed enzymatic activity and efficiently synthesized the complementary strand on an M13 single-stranded DNA template. The human DNA polymerase alpha-primase (four subunits [HHHH]) and the hybrid DNA polymerase alpha-primase HHMM (two human subunits and two mouse subunits), containing human p180 and p68 and mouse primase, initiated SV40 DNA replication in a purified system. The human and the HHMM complex efficiently replicated SV40 DNA in mouse extracts from which DNA polymerase alpha-primase was deleted, while MMMM and the MMHH complex did not. To determine whether the human p180 or p68 subunit was required for SV40 DNA replication, hybrid complexes containing only one human subunit, p180 or p68, together with three mouse subunits (HMMM and MHMM) or three human subunits and one mouse subunit (MHHH and HMHH) were tested for SV40 DNA replication activity. The hybrid complexes HMMM and HMHH synthesized oligoribonucleotides in the SV40 initiation assay with purified proteins and replicated SV40 DNA in depleted mouse extracts. In contrast, the hybrid complexes containing mouse p180 were inactive in both assays. We conclude that the human p180 subunit determines host-specific replication of SV40 DNA in vitro.

Proliferating Cell

Studies of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vitro have identified a small (approximately 30-nucleotide) RNA-DNA hybrid species termed primer-DNA. Initial experiments indicated that T antigen and the polymerase alpha-primase complex are required to form primer-DNA. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and presumably proliferating cell nuclear antigen-dependent polymerases, is not needed to form this species. Herein, we present an investigation of the stages at which primer-DNA functions during SV40 DNA replication in vitro. Hybridization studies indicate that primer-DNA is initially formed in the origin region and is subsequently synthesized in regions distal to the origin. At all time points, primer-DNA is synthesized from templates for lagging-strand DNA replication. These studies indicate that primer-DNA functions during both initiation and elongation stages of SV40 DNA synthesis. Results of additional experiments suggesting a precursor-product relationship between formation of primer-DNA and Okazaki fragments are presented.

ABSTRACT The hydrophilic channels between helicase domains of simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen play a critical role in DNA replication. Previous mutagenesis of residues in the channels identified one class of mutants (class A: D429A, N449S, and N515S) with normal DNA binding and ATPase and helicase activities but with a severely reduced ability to unwind origin DNA and to support SV40 DNA replication in vitro. Here, we further studied these mutants to gain insights into how T antigen unwinds the origin. We found that the mutants were compromised in melting the imperfect palindrome (EP) but normal in untwisting the AT-rich track. However, the mutants' defect in EP melting was not the major reason they failed to unwind the origin because supplying an EP region as a mismatched bubble, or deleting the EP region altogether, did not rescue their unwinding deficiency. These results suggested that specific separation of the central palindrome of the origin (site II) is an essential step in unwinding origin DNA by T antigen. In support of this, wild-type T antigen was able to specifically unwind a 31-bp DNA containing only site II in an ATPase-dependent reaction, whereas D429A and N515S failed to do so. By performing a systematic mutagenesis of 31-bp site II DNA, we identified discrete regions in each pentanucleotide necessary for normal origin unwinding. These data indicate that T antigen has a mechanism to specifically unwind the central palindrome. Various models are proposed to illustrate how T antigen could separate the central origin.
