Degeneration of testis has been observed after administration of Iodine-125 in potassiumperchlorate treated rats. Histological damage is associated with loss of DNA, RNA, acid phosphatase, total adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and Na/K dependent ATPase. Iodine-125 induced atrophic testis shows higher content of sodium and lower levels of potassium as compared to control testis. Damage of testis by Iodine-125 has been compared with atrophied testis, following gamma irradiation earlier reported. Auger effect due to Iodine-125 decay and transmutation at the sites of nuclei and plasma membrane of germinal cells seems to be the possible explanation for testicular damage caused by Iodine-125.

HeLa cells infected with the nondefective adenovirus 2 (Ad2)-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid viruses (Ad2(+)ND1, Ad2(+)ND2, Ad2(+)ND4, and Ad2(+)ND5) synthesize SV40-specific proteins ranging in size from 28,000 to 100,000 daltons. By analysis of their methionine-containing tryptic peptides, we demonstrated that all these proteins shared common amino acid sequences. Most methionine-containing tryptic peptides derived from proteins of smaller size were contained within the proteins of larger size. Seventeen of the 21 methionine-containing tryptic peptides of the largest SV40-specific protein (100,000 daltons) from Ad2(+)ND4-infected cells were identical to methionine-containing peptides of SV40 T-antigen immunoprecipitated from extracts of SV40-infected cells. All of the methionine-containing tryptic peptides of the Ad2(+)ND4 100,000-dalton protein were found in SV40 T-antigen immunoprecipitated from SV40-transformed cells. All SV40-specific proteins observed in vivo could be synthesized in vitro using the wheat germ cell-free system and SV40-specific RNA from hybrid virus-infected cells that was purified by hybridization to SV40 DNA. As proof of identity, the in vitro products were shown to have methionine-containing tryptic peptides identical to those of their in vivo counterparts. Based on the extensive overlap in amino acid sequence between the SV40-specific proteins from hybrid virus-infected cells and SV40 T-antigen from SV40-infected and -transformed cells, we conclude that at least the major portion of the SV40-specific proteins cannot be Ad2 coded. From the in vitro synthesis experiments with SV40-selected RNA, we further conclude that the SV40-specific proteins must be SV40 coded and not host coded. Since SV40 T-antigen is related to the SV40-specific proteins, it must also be SV40 coded.

A DNA-stimulated ATP-gamma-phosphohydrolase of molecular weight 75000 was purified from Escherichia coli cells. The ATPase, a globular molecule (identical probably with an ATPase described previously by Richet and Kohiyama in 1976) shows specificity for adenine nucleotides, it prefers single-stranded DNA as the cofactor, it exhibits a complicated mode of response to variations of the cofacter concentration and it is devoid of nuclease activity. Preparations derived from rep3 mutant cells yield widely varying amounts of an apparently normal ATPase.

The DNA-stimulated 75000-Mr ATPase described in the preceding paper is shown to be a further catalytic DNA unwinding principle (DNA unwinding enzyme II) made in Escherichia coli cells (the first being the 180000-Mr ATPase of the cells: DNA unwinding enzyme I). Unwinding depends strictly, on the supply of ATP. It occurs only under conditions permitting ATP dephosphorylation and it proceeds as long as enzyme molecules are permitted to enter the enzyme - DNA complex. The enzyme binds specifically to single-stranded DNA yielding a complex of only limited stability. These results are interpreted in terms of a distributive mode of action of the enzyme. It is argued that chain separation starts near a single-stranded DNA region and that, forced by continued adsorption of enzyme molecules to the DNA, it develops along the duplex. This mechanism is different from that deduced previously for DNA unwinding enzyme I. Complicated results were obtained using ATPase prepared from rep3 mutant cells.

The alkaloid camptothecin uncouples the growth and adivision of chick embryo cells. At a moderate dose (0.5 microgram/ml) it inhibits the incorporation of thymidine but not of uridine and leucine and the cell protein content increases and reaches twice that of control after 4 days of treatment. Twelve hours after addition of the drug, the activities per cell of the mitochondrial enzymes poly A hydrolase (EC 3.1. 4.21), cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1), and succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) are greater than that of the control and keep increasing for at least 96 H. The increase in the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes precede that of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) and cytidine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.15), which are microsomal and plasma membranes enzymes respectively. Actinomycin D (0.01 microgram/ml) also inhibits the multiplication of the chick cells and the synthesis of DNA. The protein content of the actinomycin D treated cells decreases to 70% of the control by day 2. Nevertheless, the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes increase over that of the control but to a smaller extent that with camptothecin. The activities of the enzymes of the other organelles are not stimulated. Camptothecin at a higher dose (5.0 microgram/ml) induces effects similar to those of actinomycin D.

A DNA-unwinding protein has been purified from regenerating rat liver cytosol to apparent homogeneity. The protein is present in about 10(6) copies per cell. It is a tetramer, composed of 25,000-dalton subunits which does not exhibit enzymatic activity for ATPase, DNA polymerase, or DNase. The protein is able to unwind the double helix of poly[d(A-T)], depressing the melting point of this synthetic polymer by about 40 degrees. It also binds to supercoiled SV40 DNA, probably by melting A-T-rich regions in the genome. The fully saturated complex of protein and SV40 DNA sediments at 30 S. Homologous DNA polymerases-alpha and -beta are stimulated by the protein at a different level depending on the templates used. This result argues in favor of the intervention of the unwinding protein in replication processes.

A somatic cell hybrid (Cl. 6d) was originated from the fusion of mouse 3T3-4E) and spontaneous yielder SV 40-transformed Chinese hamster (CHK/SVLP AG) cells. During the early stages of its history, the C1. 6d hybrid underwent a rapid chromosome loss, preferentially loosing hamster chromosomes. This was not a constant tendency of the hybrid cells. As the parental CHK)SVLP AG cells, the hybrid cells were always found 100 per cent SV40 T-antigen positive. While CHK/SVLP AG cells infectious SV 40 DNA, V-antigen and virus were regularly detected, in the hybrid cells only infectious DNA was occasionally detected. This was not due either to the loww of an essential Chinese hamster gene(s) or to the presence of an inhibiting mouse cell component(s); it was apparently the consequence of inability of the cells to properly activate the resident SV 40 genome(s). After superinfection with SV 40 DNA, the hybrid cells-though capable of synthesizing SV 40 V-antigen--were unable to ensure virus assembly. Experimental evidence was obtained suggesting that SV 40 maturation is dependent of a cellular function(s).

The single-stranded DNA-dependent ribonucleoside triphosphatase activity of the Escherichia coli dnaB gene product was characterized. Purine ribonucleoside triphosphates were the preferred substrates, but all ribonucleoside triphosphates were cleaved at the gamma position to yield ribonucleoside diphosphates and Pi. The enzyme required Mg2+, which could be replaced by Mn2+ but with lower activity. The pH optimum was 7.5 in either Tris-HCl or phosphate buffer. The Km for MgATP was 0.59 mM and the Vmax was 8.7 nmol/min/microgram of protein at 30 degrees. The DNA requirement was best satisfied with either fd or phiX174 single-stranded DNA (Km 0.033 mM nucleotides); maximal rate of nucleoside diphosphate formation occurred with 1 dnaB molecule/fd or phiX174 single-stranded DNA molecule. The dnaB gene product was found to have hysteretic properties and the hysteresis appeared to be due to a dissociation and reassociation of the enzyme.

An ATP-dependent DNA unwinding protein is present at a high level of activity in meiotic cells of lilies. The protein also acts as a DNA-dependent ATPase, the single strand form being the preferred cofactor. It binds in the absence of ATP to single-strand DNA and to ends or nicks in duplex DNA. A 3'-OH terminus is required for binding at duplex ends; such binding is highly stable. Unwinding occurs in the presence of ATP, and it is limited to about 50 base pairs per end or 400-500 base pairs per nick. The ATP hydrolyzed during unwinding is distinguishable from ATP hydrolysis in the presence of single-strand DNA.

Endogenous DNA synthesis was studied in isolated core particles of avian myeloblastosis virus. It was found that cores contained an enzymatic activity which rapidly converted the added nucleoside triphosphates to diphosphates (but not further) at 0 degrees C, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis. This triphosphatase probably originates from the viral membranes. In the cores the enzyme is completely inactivated by low concentrations (0.02%) of Nonident P-40. Also, the enzyme is very thermolabile and denatures rapidly at 38 degrees C.
