Abstract
A stable hybridoma cell line, IIG8-203-2, that secretes a monoclonal antibody of the immunoglobulin subclass M was obtained by fusion of mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells of mice that had been immunized with the viral polypeptide VP2 of simian virus 40. The monoclonal antibody recognizes viral polypeptides that migrate with VP2 polypeptides in a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. It also recognizes two intracellular polypeptides (29,000 and 37,000 daltons) in a detergent-insoluble fraction extracted 30 h after virus infection of TC7 cells.

Abstract
The phosphorylation sites of simian virus 40 large T antigen were determined within the primary structure of the molecule. Exhaustive digestion of (32)P-labeled large T antigen with trypsin generated six major phosphopeptides which could be separated in a newly developed isobutyric acid-containing chromatography system. By partial tryptic digestion, large T antigen was cleaved into an amino-terminal fragment of 17,000 daltons and overlapping fragments from the carboxy-terminal region ranging in size between 71,000 and 13,000 daltons. The location of the phosphopeptides was then determined by fingerprint analyses of individual fragments. Their physical properties were analyzed by sizing on polyacrylamide gels and by sequential digestion and peptide mapping; their amino acid composition was determined by differential labeling with various amino acids. The amino-terminal 17,000-dalton fragment gave rise to only one phosphopeptide (phosphopeptide 3) that contained half of the phosphate label incorporated into large T antigen. It contained phosphoserine and phosphothreonine sites, all of which were clustered within a small segment between Cys(105) and Lys(127). This segment contained five serines and two threonines. Among these, Ser(106), Ser(123), and Thr(124) were identified as phosphorylated residues; in addition, either one or both of Ser(111) and Ser(112) were phosphorylated. The neighboring residues, Ser(123) and Thr(124), were found in three different phosphorylation states in that either Ser(123) or Thr(124) or both were phosphorylated. Phosphopeptides 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 were all derived from a single fragment extending 26,000 daltons upstream from the carboxy terminus of large T antigen. Phosphopeptide 6 was identical with the previously determined phosphothreonine peptide phosphorylated at Thr(701). Phosphopeptides 1, 2, 4, and 5 contained only serine-bound phosphate. Phosphopeptides 1, 2, and 4 represented overlapping peptides, all of which were phosphorylated at Ser(639) located next to a cluster of six acidic residues. In phosphopeptide 5, a large peptide ranging from Asn(653) to Arg(691), at least two of seven serines were phosphorylated. Thus, large T antigen contains at least eight phosphorylation sites. Their clustering within two separate regions might correlate with structural and functional domains of this protein.

Abstract
Two cell clones were isolated from the simian line CV1, permissive for simian virus 40 (SV40), by selection at low temperature with the tsA239 mutant of SV40. These clones exhibited cold-sensitive semipermissivity to both SV40 virions and SV40 DNA. On the basis of virus yields, their resistance to viral DNA was increased approximately 15 times over that of CV1 cells when the incubation temperature was lowered from 38.5 to 33.5 degrees C. A further 30- to 40-fold resistance increase was exhibited at both temperatures upon infection with SV40 virions. Partial characterization of these clones indicated that the cold sensitivity affected an early function in viral growth, between viral uncoating and the appearance of T-antigen positivity, with a burst-size decrease in all cells at the restricted temperature. This conditional defect appeared to be superimposed upon a temperature-independent uncoating defect, presumably carried in a CV1 subpopulation from which the two clones were ultimately selected.

Abstract
A line of simian virus 40-transformed hamster kidney cells was exposed to ultraviolet radiation at eleven different wavelengths in the region 238-302 nm. An action spectrum derived from the resulting exposure-response curves for the induction of simian virus 40 from these cells exhibits a broad peak in the region 260-270 nm suggesting DNA as the major chromophore for this response. This conclusion is consistent with results obtained by other investigators who have noted viral induction by a number of DNA-damaging agents.

Abstract
A new variant of simian virus 40 (EL SV40), containing the complete viral DNA separated into two molecules, was isolated. One DNA species contains nearly all of the early (E) SV40 sequences, and the other DNA contains nearly all of the late (L) viral sequences. Each genome was encircled by reiterated viral origins and termini and migrated in agarose gels as covalently closed supercoiled circles. EL SV40 or its progenitor appears to have been generated in human A172 glioblastoma cells, as defective interfering genomes during acute lytic infections, but was selected during the establishment of persistently infected (PI) green monkey cells (TC-7). PI TC-7/SV40 cells contained EL SV40 as the predominant SV40 species. EL SV40 propagated efficiently and rapidly in BSC-1, another line of green monkey cells, where it also formed plaques. EL SV40 stocks generated in BSC-1 cells were shown to be free of wild-type SV40 by a number of criteria. E and L SV40 genomes were also cloned in the bacterial plasmid pBR322. When transfected into BSC-1 cell monolayers, only the combination of E and L genomes produced a lytic infection, followed by the synthesis of EL SV40. However, transfection with E SV40 DNA alone did produce T-antigen, although at reduced frequency.

Abstract
Two cellular proteins, 56K and 32K, found in association with simian virus 40 small-t antigen were not induced by viral infection. In addition, the proteins were expressed by cells in the growth arrest period, a time in which small-t function is of importance in infection and transformation.

Abstract
Mouse Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells proved to be a semipermissive substrate for in vivo cultivation of adenovirus 5 (Ad5) and SV40. The multiplication of SV40 in EAC cells was facilitated by the coinfection with Ad5. As demonstrated by ID and EID reactions, the virus progens isolated at the first passage after the mixed infection of EAC cells with Ad5 and SV40 possess an antigenic mosaic with fractions characteristic of the parental viruses and of the cell substrate in which they had cultivated in vitro and in vivo. The progens gave positive seroneutralization and complement fixation reactions only with antiserum to SV40.

Abstract
The maturation of replicating simian virus 40 (SV40) chromosomes into superhelical viral DNA monomers [SV40(I) DNA] was analyzed in both intact cells and isolated nuclei to investigate further the role of soluble cytosol factors in subcellular systems. Replicating intermediates [SV40(RI) DNA] were purified to avoid contamination by molecules broken at their replication forks, and the distribution of SV40(RI) DNA as a function of its extent of replication was analyzed by gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy. With virus-infected CV-1 cells, SV40(RI) DNA accumulated only when replication was 85 to 95% completed. These molecules [SV40(RI(*)) DNA] were two to three times more prevalent than an equivalent sample of early replicating DNA, consistent with a rate-limiting step in the separation of sibling chromosomes. Nuclei isolated from infected cells permitted normal maturation of SV40(RI) DNA into SV40(I) DNA when the preparation was supplemented with cytosol. However, in the absence of cytosol, the extent of DNA synthesis was diminished three- to fivefold (regardless of the addition of ribonucleotide triphosphates), with little change in the rate of synthesis during the first minute; also, the joining of Okazaki fragments to long nascent DNA was inhibited, and SV40(I) DNA was not formed. The fraction of short-nascent DNA chains that may have resulted from dUTP incorporation was insignificant in nuclei with or without cytosol. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that joining, but not initiation, of Okazaki fragments required cytosol. Cessation of DNA synthesis in nuclei without cytosol could be explained by an increased probability for cleavage of replication forks. These broken molecules masqueraded during gel electrophoresis of replicating DNA as a peak of 80% completed SV40(RI) DNA. Failure to convert SV40(RI(*)) DNA into SV40(I) DNA under these conditions could be explained by the requirement for cytosol to complete the gap-filling step in Okazaki fragment metabolism: circular monomers with their nascent DNA strands interrupted in the termination region [SV40(II(*)) DNA] accumulated with unjoined Okazaki fragments. Thus, separation of sibling chromosomes still occurred, but gaps remained in the terminal portions of their daughter DNA strands. These and other data support a central role for SV40(RI(*)) and SV40(II(*)) DNAs in the completion of viral DNA replication.

Abstract
Uninfected simian cells (CV-1) produce two different proteins, one of which enhances the infectivity of echovirus 6 and the other enhances the infectivity of SV40 in less susceptible cells. The enhancers are released by metabolizing cells into the culture medium. The SV40 enhancer protein is larger and less acidic than the echovirus enhancer. The SV40 enhancer protein can be dissociated into 2 subunits with apparent molecular weights of 42,000 and 24,000. The echovirus enhancer protein consists of 2 subunits with apparent molecular weights of 28,000 and 31,000. Electrophoretically purified enhancer proteins interact with virions and retain their biological activities and viral specificities. The SV40 enhancer stimulates expression of SV40-T antigen under conditions in which untreated virus does not initiate expression of T antigen. This result and the observation that the enhancers do not increase the infectivity of the nucleic acids of their respective viruses suggest that the enhancers act either at the stage of penetration or uncoating.

Abstract
The cytomorphologic method previously reported for titration of adenoviruses has been employed for estimating the infectious titer of simian virus 40 (SV 40). Infected cells forming intranuclear inclusions were determined. The method examined possesses a number of advantages over virus titration by plaque assay and cytopathic effect. The virus titer estimated by the method of inclusion counting and expressed as IFU/ml (Inclusion Forming Units/ml) corresponds to that estimated by plaque count and expressed as PFU/ml.

Abstract
During normal maturation and majority of pulse-labeled simian virus 40 DNA progresses from chromatin to previrions and virions within 5 h. UV light inhibits this progression. In heavily irradiated cultures (108 J m-2) most of the simian virus 40 DNA synthesized immediately before irradiation remains as chromatin for at least 5 h. This inhibition of maturation seems to be a result of the inhibition of protein synthesis. The data suggest that the pool of proteins required for maturation is sufficient to convert one-third of the simian virus 40 DNA molecules labeled in a 10-min pulse (at 33 h postinfection) from chromatin to previrions and virions and is exhausted within 1 h.

Abstract
Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA synthesis is inhibited in monkey cells by superinfection with adenovirus 2 (Ad2) and various non-defective Ad2-SV40 hybrid viruses. Similarly, BKV (a human papovavirus) DNA synthesis is inhibited in human cells by superinfection with Ad2. Kinetic studies indicate that inhibition begins during the early phase of the Ad2 lytic cycle. Superinfection with Ad2 does not significantly alter the formation of SV40 T antigen. Superinfection with Ad2 late in SV40 lytic cycle is less efficient in the inhibition of SV40 DNA synthesis, and the onset of Ad2 DNA synthesis is delayed, compared to superinfection early in the SV40 lytic cycle. These findings suggest that the Ad2 and SV40 genomes may compete to bind an early AD2 protein which is essential for Ad2 replication, but which blocks SV40 replication.

Abstract
The accessibility of extracellular and nuclear simian virus 40 (SV40-M and SV40-I, respectively) virion chromatin DNAs to micrococcal nuclease, DNase I, BglI, EcoRI, and RNA polymerase was examined. Our results support the following conclusions: (i) the intranucleosomal DNA of SV40-I chromatin, similar to the precursor 75S chromatin complex, is resistant to enzymatic activity; and (ii) SV40-M virion chromatin is modified in a manner which increases the accessibility of viral DNA to enzymes, and the distinction between nucleosomal DNA and linker DNA is absent. Micrococcal nuclease digestion of SV40-I virion chromatin gave a typical nucleosomal DNA ladder pattern with a repeat unit of 205 base pairs of DNA. SV40-I chromatin was sensitive to cleavage with endonuclease BglI, but not with EcoRI. When SV40-I virion chromatin was used as a template, the rate of incorporation of ribonucleoside triphosphates into RNA was 5% of that obtained with naked form SV40 form I DNA. Micrococcal nuclease digestion of SV40-M virion chromatin resulted in submonomeric DNA fragments of approximately 55 base pairs, but no larger repeating unit of DNA was observed. SV40-M virion chromatin was sensitive to cleavage with either BglI or EcoRI and was approximately 20% more susceptible to digestion with DNase I than was SV40-I virion chromatin. The transcriptional efficiency of the extracellular virion chromatin was almost equivalent to that of naked SV40 form I DNA and was 16-fold higher than the rate observed with nuclear virion chromatin. The increased transcriptional activity was dependent upon the presence of nonhistone viral protein VP1 or VP2 or both.

Abstract
The thermostability of isometric DNA viruses increases, if the ionic strength is diminished before heating. When unpurified virus material from cell cultures is heated under conditions (temperature, time) which lead to a reduction in infectivity by 3 to 4 log10, this loss in titer is 1 to 3 log10 less, if the ionic strength is decreased by diluting the material in dist. water (1:100) before heating. A dilution in Eagle's MEM (1:100) or a previous dialysis against water does not have the same effect. This property was found in the following members of 4 DNA virus families: adenovirus 5, herpesvirus 1, SV 40 and bovine parvovirus 1. In contrast, members of pox- (vaccinia) and picornaviruses (polio 2, coxsackie B5) were found to be less thermostable under conditions of low ionic strength. Reovirus 3 showed no difference in inactivation. The observed effect may be of practical importance for heat disinfection of viruses and for their persistence in the environment.

Abstract
The stimulation of host macromolecular synthesis and induction into the cell cycle of serum-deprived G0-G1-arrested mouse embryo fibroblasts were examined after infection of resting cells with wild-type simian virus 40 or with viral mutants affecting T antigen (tsA58) or small t antigen (dl884). At various times after virus infection, cell cultures were analyzed for DNA synthesis by autoradiography and flow microfluorimetry. Whereas mock-infected cultured remained quiescent and displayed either a 2N DNA content (80%) or a 4N DNA content (15%), mouse cells infected with wild-type simian virus 40, tsA58 at 33 degrees C, or dl884 were induced into active cell cycling at approximately 18 h postinfection. Although dl884-infected mouse cells were induced to cycle initially at the same rate as wild type-infected cells, they became arrested earlier after infection and also failed to reach the saturation densities of wild-type simian virus 40-infected cells. Infection with dl884 also failed to induce loss of cytoplasmic actin cables in the majority of the infected cell population. Mouse cells infected with tsA58 and maintained at 39.5 degrees C showed a transient burst of DNA synthesis as reflected by changes in cell DNA content and an increase in the number of labeled nuclei during the first 24 h postinfection; however, after the abortive stimulation of DNA synthesis at 39.5 degrees C shift experiments demonstrated that host DNA replication was regulated by a functional A gene product. It is concluded that both products of the early region of simian virus 40 DNA play a complementary role in recruiting and maintaining simian virus 40-infected cells in the cell cycle.

Abstract
We have studied SV40 (simian virus40) nucleoprotein in permissively infected monkey kidney cell cultures (CV1) by a procedure which does not require the isolation of the SV40 chromosomes. Treatment of the cells by a low ionic strenght medium containing Photo flo produces a mild loosening of nucleoproteins, and permits the in situ study in ultrathin sections of virus components and their relationships with host cell chromatin. RNP and DNP could be distinguished by uranyl-EDTA-lead staining (for RNP) and by DNase digestion. SV40 DNA was observed as circular molecules, either free or connected with either RNP fibrils or virus capsids. These three aspects were interpreted, respectively, as viral minichromosomes, transcription of virus genome and partially encapsidated virus DNA. During encapsidation a few virus particles appear to be bound to host chromatin. Many, if not all, seemingly mature viruses, singly or in small linear clusters, are also aligned on host chromatin. Some of these observations were corroborated by the Miller spreading technique. They are consistent with a role for the host cell chromatin in the production of nuclear viruses.

Abstract
The life cycles of the tumor virus SV40 and polyoma are discussed with particular emphasis on the role of the viral coded proteins which mediate the transformation of normal cells into their cancerous equivalents. One of more of these proteins possibly act by stimulating directly the synthesis of cellular DNA, while others may mimic the action of polypeptide mitogens that act at the cell surface.
