A protein antigenically related to the simian virus (SV 40) A gene product has been purified to near homogeneity from cells infected with the adenovirus-SV 40 hybrid virus Ad2(+)D2 and shown to contain ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) and protein kinase (ATP:phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) activity. Both enzymatic activities copurify with the protein through six stages including one gel filtration column, two ion exchange columns, and a heparin affinity column. Analogous fractions from extracts of cells uninfected or infected with adenovirus 2 alone do not contain these enzymatic activities. The D2 hybrid protein resolves into two forms (I and II) during ion exchange chromatography. Form I, the major species (85%) of the D2 hybrid protein, elutes from DEAE-Sephadex in 0.37 M NaCl and is able to catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP + P(i) at a rate of 3 mumol/hr per mg. The remaining 10-15% of the D2 hybrid protein consists of form II which elutes from DEAE-Sephadex in 0.29 M NaCl and is able to hydrolyze ATP as well as to incorporate phosphorus from ATP into either the D2 hybrid protein itself or other protein acceptors such as phosvitin. Although both forms are able to bind DNA, the ATPase activity of form I cosediments with SV 40 DNA more efficiently than does the protein kinase activity of form II during glycerol gradient centrifugation. The ATPase activity of form I is efficiently inhibited by addition of anti-T gamma globulin to the reaction mixture whereas control gamma globulin has no effect. Similarly, the phosphorylation of the D2 hybrid protein by form II is inhibited by anti-T gamma globulin. By contrast, phosphorylation of phosvitin is specifically inhibited by antibody only when the immune complex is removed from the reaction mixture. Thus, it appears likely that one and possibly two enzymatic activities are carried out by the D2 hybrid protein. These findings are discussed in terms of mechanisms of SV 40 DNA replication and virally induced transformation.

The effects of thyroxine (T4) on Na+ transport, oxygen consumption (QO2), and Na+-K+-ATPase activity were studied in the urinary bladder and liver of the toad Bufo marinus. In the bladder, T4 in vitro (10(-8) to 10(-6) M) had no significant effect on these parameters during 15 h of incubation. When injected intraperitoneally (approximately 20 microgram/(kg body wt.day) for 6 days), T4 lowered base-line, short-circuit current by 62% (P less than 0.0025) and potential difference by 37% (P less than 0.001), increasing tissue resistance by 40% (P less than 0.02). T4 depressed QO2/DNA (-25%, P less than 0.05) with no significant effect on Na+-K+-ATPase activity. In liver, T4 increased the recovery per cell DNA of mitochondrial proteins by 32% (P less than 0.025), corresponding to an increased QO2 (stage IV) of isolated mitochondria per cell DNA (+54%, P less than 0.01). There was no significant effect on Na+-K+-ATPase activity. These results suggest that, unlike its function in the rat, T4 in the toad does not regulate cellular thermogenesis by inducing Na+-K+-ATPase. This major difference could account at least in part for the transition from poikilothermy to homeothermy. In addition, T4 has a distinct inhibitory effect on Na+ transport in the urinary bladder, which suggests an antagonism to the action of aldosterone.

A single-stranded DNA-dependent ATP gamma-phosphohydrolase of Mr 56000 induced after infection of Escherichia coli cells with bacteriophage T4, probably the ATPase dependent on gene dda of the phage, was isolated. Studies on the enzyme show that in the presence of ATP and M2+ ions it is capable of dissociating partially double-stranded fd bacteriophage DNA into the single strands and that some 3000 enzyme copies are required to unwind the 6400-nucleotides-long DNA. Unwinding is inhibited by reducing the length of the single-stranded portion of DNA to two nucleotides. In addition it can be inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents which block the ATPase or by trapping free enzyme molecules in the assay system. The results suggest that unwinding is initiated near the single-stranded portion of the DNA and is driven by the ATPase. It further appears that the enzyme unwinds by adsorbing to the DNA. Affinity of the enzyme for double-standed DNA is not detectable by DNA binding assay.

Replication in vitro of the replicative form (RF) I DNA of bacteriophage varphiX174 requires the phage-induced cistron A (cisA) protein, the host rep protein, DNA-binding protein, ATP, and DNA polymerase III plus replication factors. The rep protein is a single-stranded DNA-dependent ATPase. In this paper we show that varphiX174 RF I DNA cut by the cisA protein acts as a duplex DNA cofactor for the rep protein ATPase activity, provided that DNA-binding protein is present. In this latter reaction the duplex DNA is unwound by the rep protein with concomitant hydrolysis of ATP. The extents of ATP hydrolysis, DNA unwinding, and, where appropriate, DNA synthesis are proportional to the amounts of DNA-binding protein present. Two ATP molecules are hydrolyzed per base pair unwound. We propose that the obligatory requirement for the cisA protein in the unwinding of varphiX174 RF I DNA is not simply due to its endonuclease activity but rather is due to its provision of a site for the binding of the rep protein. The rep protein in the presence of DNA-binding protein, but in the absence of cisA protein, unwinds duplex DNA when one strand extends to generate a single-stranded leader region preceding the duplex. We show that rep protein translocates along the leader single strand in a 5'-to-3' direction only and then invades the duplex DNA. The rep protein shows a directional specificity for translocation and unwinding. A model is presented to explain the mechanism of DNA unwinding catalyzed by the rep protein.

Highly purified SV40 large T antigen exhibits an ATPase activity which can be stimulated approximately 7-fold by the DNA homopolymer poly(dT). The poly(dT)-stimulated enzyme can hydrolyze various ribonucleotide and deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, with ATP and dATP serving as the best substrates. Purified large T antigen hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and Pi, with a maximum specific activity of 13.5 mumol of inorganic phosphate released per h per mg of protein. Of the various natural and synthetic polynucleotides tested, poly(dT) was by far the best activator. Long chain poly(dT) molecules are much more effective activators than are short chain length oligo(dT) molecules. The highly purified large T antigen contains no detectable protein kinase activity.

Four DNA-dependent ATPases have been isolated from E. coli extracts. ATPases I and III, both sensitive to NEM, require denatured DNA but differ in their heat sensitivity, elution from DEAE-cellulose, and sedimentation coefficient. ATPases II and IV are both resistant to NEM. ATPase II requires partially denatured DNA, whereas ATPase IV can be stimulated by SS DNA. ATPase I is a DNA-unwinding enzyme; ATPase II may be involved in recombination.

In summary, we postulate that DNA unwinding and ATP dephosphorylation are coupled in different ways, depending on whether the fibrous ATPase or one of the globular ATPases provides the catalytic agent. Unanswered is the question of whether there is stoichiometry of ATP utilization during the unwinding of a duplex, and unsolved is the role of the individual enzyme in the cell.

To test the suitability of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA as a vector for inserting DNA segments into the chromosomes of mammalian cells, an EcoRI-A fragment of bacteriophage lambda DNA was covalently joined to a fragment of SV40 DNA and used to transform mouse cells in culture. Three independent, morphologically transformed clones were obtained that were positive for SV40 T-antigen by immunofluorescence staining. DNA from each transformant was examined by restriction enzyme analysis and found to contain both lambda and SV40 sequences. Co-migration of some fragments containing lambda and SV40 sequences following digestion of transformed cell DNA by each of four different restriction enzymes indicated that part of the retained lambda and SV40 DNA was linked in two of the three lines. In the third line, however, none of the restriction fragments had both lambda and SV40 sequences. Although the presence of non-integrated lambda DNA was not excluded, at least some of the lambda DNA appeared to be linked to host cell DNA. Results of digestion by EcoRI suggested that in some cases the transforming linear molecule had probably circularized prior to integration.

The functional properties of the early antigens of simian virus 40 (SV40) and human papovavirus BK (BKV) were investigated. Infection of African green monkey kidney cells with BKV permitted the bidirectional replication of an early temperature-sensitive mutant (tsA) at a nonpermissive temperature. Conceivably, an early gene product (T-antigen) of BKV can substitute functionally for the defective SV40 T-antigen. On the other hand, SV40 DNA replication remained undetectable in human embryonic kidney cells preinfected with BKV, suggesting that BKV early antigens alone are not sufficient to provide for the replication of SV40. Preinfection of African green monkey kidney cells with BKV restored the normal pattern of late lytic SV40 transcription, suppressing the overproduction of early RNA by an SV40 tsA mutant at the nonpermissive temperature. Furthermore, preinfection of African green monkey kidney cells with BKV supported the growth of adenovirus type 2, providing a "helper function" similar to that provided by SV40 for the growth of human adenovirus in monkey kidney cells.

The adenovirus type 2-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid virus Ad2+ND1 dp2 (E. Lukanidin, manuscript in preparation) specified two proteins (molecular weights, 24,000 and 23,000) that are, in part, products of an insertion of SV40 early DNA sequences. This was demonstrated by translation in vitro from viral mRNA that had been selected by hybridization to SV40 DNA. These two phosphorylated, nonvirion proteins were produced late in infection in amounts similar to adenovirus 2 structural proteins and were closely related to each other in tryptic peptide composition. The portion of SV40 DNA (map units 0.17 to 0.22 on the SV40 genome) coding for these proteins was joined to sequences coding for the amino-terminal part of the adenovirus type 2 structural protein IV (fiber). The Ad2+ND1 dp2 23,000- and 24,000-molecular-weight proteins were hybrid polypeptides, with about two-thirds of their tryptic peptides contributed by the fiber protein and the remainder contributed by SV40 T-antigen. They shared with T-antigen (molecular weight, 96,000) a carboxy-terminal proline-rich tryptic peptide. Together, the tryptic peptide composition of these proteins and the known SV40 DNA sequences suggested the reading frame for the translation of T-antigen. The carboxy terminus for T-anigen would then be located on the SV40 genome map next to the TAA terminator triplet at position 0.175, 910 bases away from the cleavage site of the restriction endonuclease EcoRI. Seven host range mutants from Ad2+ND1 dp2 were isolated that had lost the capacity to propagate on monkey cells. They did not induce detectable levels of the hybrid proteins. Three of these mutants had lost the SV40 DNA insertion that codes in part for these proteins. Thus, in analogy to the Ad2+ND1 30,000-molecular-weight protein, the presence of these proteins correlates with the presence of the helper function for adenovirus replication on monkey cells.
