A simjan virus 40 genomic fragment containing the genes coding for the large T and small t antigens was inserted into the genome of the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus downstream of the strong polyhedrin promoter. Infection of eucaryotic Spodoptera frugiperda (SF9) cells with this recombinant virus produced significant amounts of small t antigen and little or no large T protein. Analysis by Northern blotting and S1 nuclease digestion revealed correct and preferential utilization of the small t splicing signals.

The locations of the authentic viral transcription initiation sites utilized during the course of a JCV(Mad1) infection of primary human fetal glial (PHFG) cells have been identified using the S1 nuclease and primer extension techniques. Early viral mRNA start sites were located 20 to 30 nucleotides (positions 89-92 and 5115-5125) downstream from the two TATA elements present within the promoter-enhancer region of the JCV(Mad1) strain. Absence of the distal TATA element, as seen in the JCV(Mad4) promoter-enhancer, resulted in the alteration of the position and intensity of these sites. Several start sites were observed for late viral mRNAs; two sites were located 25 and 35 nucleotides (positions 191-192 and 200-203) downstream from a potential surrogate TATA signal. To determine whether the presence of constitutively expressed JCV large T protein would alter the pattern of transcription initiation, RNA isolated from JCV(Mad1)-infected POJ cells was analyzed. Although the positions of the early and late viral mRNA start sites were similar to those observed in JCV(Mad1)-infected PHFG cells, they were detected earlier in the course of the infection.
