Abstract
The kinetics of nuclear transport and of oligomerization of simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen in lytically infected cells were investigated by pulse-chase experiments, cell fractionation, and sedimentation analyses in sucrose gradients. After synthesis, large T was rapidly translocated to the nucleus. Within 10 min, half of the pulse-labeled molecules had entered the nucleus and after an additional 30 min, nuclear accumulation of large T reached a constant plateau of about 95%. Within that time, the majority of large T was in monomeric form suggesting that nuclear transport takes place in this state. In the nucleus, conversion to tetramers proceeded slowly and steadily. By 60 min half of the molecules had formed tetramers and by 6 hr a steady-state ratio between tetramers and monomers of 4:1 was observed. A small fraction of large T remaining in the cytoplasm oligomerized considerably faster than large T in the nuclear fraction. This phenomenon of accelerated oligomerization was also observed with a mutant of large T defective for nuclear transport. Perhaps, the nuclear envelope is a barrier for the complex forms of large T which prevents premature oligomers in the cytoplasm from entering the nucleus and oligomers in the nucleus from migrating back to the cytoplasm.

Abstract
Human adenoviruses fail to multiply effectively in monkey cells. The block to the replication of these viruses can be overcome by coinfection with simian virus 40 (SV40) or when part of the SV40 genome is integrated into and expressed as part of the adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) genome, as occurs in several Ad2+SV40 hybrid viruses, such as Ad2+ND1, Ad2+ND2, and Ad2+ND4. The SV40 helper-defective Ad2+SV40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND5 and Ad2+ND4del were analyzed to determine why they are unable to grow efficiently in monkey cells even though they contain the appropriate SV40 genetic information. Characterization of the Ad2+ND5-SV40-specific 42,000-molecular-weight (42K) protein revealed that this protein is closely related, but not identical, to the SV40-specific 42K protein of the SV40 helper-competent Ad2+ND2 hybrid virus. Although the minor differences between these proteins may be sufficient to account for the poor growth of Ad2+ND5 in monkey cells, the most striking difference between helper-competent Ad2+ND2 and helper-defective Ad2+ND5 is in the production of the SV40-specific protein after infection of monkey cells. Whereas synthesis of the SV40-specific proteins of Ad2+ND2 is very similar in human and in monkey cells, production of the 42K protein of Ad2+ND5 is dramatically reduced in monkey cells compared with human cells. Similarly, the synthesis of the SV40-specific proteins of Ad2+ND4del is markedly reduced in monkey cells. Thus, it is likely that both Ad2+ND5 and Ad2+ND4del are helper defective because of a block in the production of their SV40-specific proteins rather than because their SV40-specific proteins are nonfunctional. This block, like the block to adenovirus fiber synthesis, is overcome by coinfection with SV40, with helper-competent hybrid viruses, or with host range mutants of adenoviruses. This suggests that the synthesis of fiber and the synthesis of SV40-specific proteins are similarly regulated in Ad2+SV40 hybrid viruses.

Abstract
To sort out possible influences of protein sequences and fatty acid acylation on the plasma membrane association of simian virus 40 large T-antigen, we have analyzed the membrane interactions of carboxy-terminal fragments of large T-antigen, encoded by the adenovirus type 2 (Ad2+)-simian virus 40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND1 and Ad2+ND2. The 28,000 (28K)-molecular-weight protein of Ad2+ND1 as well as the 42K and 56K proteins of Ad2+ND2 associate preferentially with membranous structures and were found in association with the membrane system of the endoplasmic reticulum and with plasma membranes. Neither the endoplasmic reticulum membrane- nor the plasma membrane-associated 28K protein of Ad2+ND1 is fatty acid acylated. We, therefore, conclude that fatty acid acylation is not necessary for membrane association of this protein and suggest that an amino acid sequence in this protein is responsible for its membrane interaction. In contrast, the 42K and 56K proteins of Ad2+ND2 in plasma membrane fractions contain fatty acid. However, the interaction of these proteins with the plasma membrane differs from that of the 28K protein of Ad2+ND1: whereas the 28K protein of Ad2+ND1 interacts stably with Nonidet P-40-soluble constituents of the plasma membrane, the 42K and 56K proteins of Ad2+ND2 are tightly bound to the Nonidet P-40-insoluble plasma membrane lamina. Thus, an amino acid sequence in the amino-terminal region of the 28K protein confers membrane affinity to these proteins, whereas a region between the amino-terminal end of the 42K protein of Ad2+ND2 and the amino-terminal end of the 28K protein of Ad2+ND1 contains a reactive site for fatty acid acylation. This posttranslational modification correlates with the stable association of the 42K and 56K proteins with the plasma membrane lamina. We suggest that the same sequences also mediate the proper plasma membrane association of large T-antigen in simian virus 40-transformed cells.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence at the recombination/integration sites of the adenovirus 2-simian virus 40 hybrid viruses, Ad2+ND3 and Ad2+ND5, is reported. These viruses were obtained by passages through human cells and fail to express the SV40-related proteins. The lack of expression of SV40-related proteins has been explained on the basis of the nucleotide sequence at the recombination sites. Ad2+ND3 has the entire reading frame for the SV40 T antigen removed up to the translation termination codon. The recombination event in Ad2+ND5 was found to occur in the leader region 11 nucleotides upstream from the splice junction, thus totally eliminating the naturally occurring splice site, which might have lead to defective processing of the mRNA. Alternatively, because of the large deletion, this virus is incapable of making similar hybrid proteins as in Ad2+ND1, Ad2+ND2, and Ad2+ND4, which share the N-terminal sequence of the 16-kDa glycoprotein of the wild-type virus. Thus, either one or both of these events may explain the lack of synthesis of the SV40 T antigen specific protein. Ad2+ND3 and Ad2+ND5 share the sequences at the right junction which suggests their origin from a common precursor. Also, the recombination was found to result in the disruption of the poly (A) addition signal of the adenovirus 2 early region III transcripts. All of the junction sequences were found to be rich in A:T base pairs.

Abstract
The region of the SV40 large T-antigen molecule recognized by a panel of monoclonal antibodies has been determined using hybrid Adeno-SV40 viruses, and manual microinjection of cloned deletion mutants. In addition, an investigation was made of how monoclonal antibodies microinjected into the nucleus can affect the ability of the T-antigen coding gene to stimulate cell DNA synthesis. The monoclonal antibody Pab 14, that recognized the -COOH terminal half of large T, was comicroinjected into quiescent cells together with plasmid pCl-1. This plasmid contains only that part of the T-antigen coding gene that extends from nucleotide residue 120, counterclockwise to nucleotide residue 4002, and makes a truncated T antigen 33,000 in molecular weight and missing the last 435 amino acids on the -COOH terminal side. Monoclonal antibody Pab 14 did not inhibit the stimulation of cellular DNA synthesis caused by microinjection of pCl-1, although it did inhibit cell DNA synthesis induced by microinjection of pSV2G, a recombinant plasmid that contains the entire T-antigen coding gene of SV40.

Abstract
HeLa cells infected with the adenovirus 2-simian virus 40 (Ad2+SV40) hybrid virus Ad2+ND2 were labeled with either [35S]methionine or [3H]palmitate and fractionated into cytoplasmic, nuclear, and plasma membrane fractions. Analysis of these fractions by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the SV40-specific proteins in the plasma membrane fraction were specificially acylated.

Abstract
SV40 transformed mouse cells (mKSA) were labeled in parallel with either [35S]methionine or [3H]palmitate and subfractionated. Nuclear extracts and solubilized plasma membranes were analyzed for the presence of either 35S- or 3H-labeled SV40 large tumor antigen by immunoprecipitation and SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The majority of the [35S]methionine labeled large T was recovered from the nuclear fraction, only minor amounts were detected in plasma membranes. In contrast, large T labeled specifically with [3H]palmitate was found only in the plasma membrane fraction. Our results demonstrate a specific acylation of large T associated with plasma membranes, suggesting that the membrane location of this predominantly nuclear protein is specific.

Abstract
We have analyzed the plasma membrane association of the SV40 large tumor antigen (large T) in SV40-transformed BALB/c mouse tumor cells (mKSA). Isolated plasma membranes were subfractionated: treatment with the non-ionic detergent Nonidet P40 (NP40) resulted in a NP40-resistant plasma membrane lamina, which could be further extracted with the zwitterionic detergent Empigen BB. Analysis of the different plasma membrane fractions revealed that only about one third of large T associated with isolated plasma membranes could be solubilized with NP40. The residual plasma membrane-associated large T was tightly bound to the NP40-resistant lamina of the plasma membrane from which it was released by treatment with the zwitterionic detergent Empigen BB. Further evidence for a specific interaction of a distinct subclass of large T with the plasma membrane was provided by showing that only T associated with the NP40-resistant lamina of the plasma membrane contained covalently bound fatty acid. Neither nuclear large T nor large T in the NP40-soluble plasma membrane fraction could be labeled with [3H]palmitic acid. Our results indicate that an acylated subclass of large T interacts specifically with a structure of the plasma membrane, suggesting that it might be involved in a membrane-dependent biological function.

Abstract
We analyzed the subcellular locations of the late adenovirus type 2 nonstructural 100,000-dalton (100K) and 33K proteins in adenovirus type 2-infected HeLa cells both by biochemical cell fractionation and by immunofluorescence microscopy, using specific antisera against purified sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured 100K and 33K polypeptides. Both methods showed that the 100K protein was present in the cytoplasm as well as in the nuclei of infected cells and that it accumulated in the nuclei during the course of infection. Phosphorylated 100K protein also was found both in the cytoplasm and in nuclei. However, the nuclear 100K protein pool was phosphorylated to a higher degree than the cytoplasmic pool. In all experiments the 33K protein, which also is a phosphoprotein, was present exclusively in the nuclei of infected cells. The 100K and 33K proteins were associated with different nuclear substructures; this was demonstrated serologically by an analysis of infected cells in which double color immunofluorescence microscopy was used. In these experiments antibodies against the 100K protein decorated different nuclear structures than antibodies against the 33K protein.

Abstract
Nuclear matrix prepared from mouse 3T6 cells lytically infected with polyoma virus retained significant amounts of the 100K T antigen and intact viral genomes. Bound T antigen was resistant to the extraction by high salt (2 M NaCl), detergent (1% Triton X-100) and exhaustive DNAase treatment. Only conditions sufficient to disrupt the integrity of the matrix itself solubilized the matrix T antigen. During the time period of 16-30 hr after infection, both the accumulation (in microgram) and the incorporation of 35S-methionine into T antigen increased steadily in cell extracts to a peak at 26 hr and then declined. In contrast, the amount of labeled T antigen retained by the matrix was relatively constant over the same time period. Matrix-bound T antigen was more highly phosphorylated and newly synthesized compared with the extractable T antigen. Viral DNA steadily accumulates in nuclei and on the matrix from 18 to 30 hr after infection. The fraction of viral DNA retained by the matrix was greatest early in infection (25% at 16 hr), declining to less than 10% by 24 hr. These data are consistent with the existence of a fixed (and limited) number of sites for T antigen (more highly phosphorylated) on the matrix and implicate the nuclear matrix as a site of viral DNA replication and possibly encapsidation.

Abstract
Antibodies specific for the amino- and carboxy-terminal portions of simian virus 40 large tumor (T) antigen were obtained by immunization of rabbits with synthetic peptides corresponding to these regions. The amino-terminal synthetic peptide has the sequence Ac-Met-Asp-Lys-Val-Leu-Asn-Arg-(Tyr). The tyrosine residue was introduced in order to couple the peptide to bovine serum albumin with bis-diazotized benzidine. The carboxy-terminal peptide has the sequence Lys-Pro-Pro-Thr-Pro-Pro-Pro-Glu-Pro-Glu-Thr. It was coupled to bovine serum albumin with glutaraldehyde. The antisera against both peptides reacted with large T antigen. The specificity of the immune reaction was demonstrated by inhibition experiments using excess synthetic peptides. Furthermore, fragments of T antigen encoded by the nondefective adenovirus 2-simian virus 40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND2 and Ad2+ND4, which contain the carboxy terminus and lack the amino terminus of large T antigen, were precipitated only with antiserum to the carboxy-terminal peptide. Small T antigen was not precipitated with either serum, suggesting that the amino terminus of small T antigen has a conformation different from that of large T antigen or that it is sterically hindered by a host protein. The procedures used here are of general importance for identification and characterization of gene product.

Abstract
Simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed monolayer cells were analyzed in situ by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy for the postulated cell surface location of SV40 T-antigen-related molecules. With antisera prepared against purified, sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured SV40 T-antigen, positive surface staining was obtained when the cells had been treated with formaldehyde before immunofluorescence analysis. In contrast, living SV40-transformed cells analyzed in monolayer were surface fluorescence negative. The fixation procedure developed in this study combined with a double staining immunofluorescence technique allowed the simultaneous analysis of the same cells for the expression of both SV40 T-antigen-related surface antigen and nuclear T-antigen. The localization of SV40 T-antigen-related surface antigen on the outer surface of the plasma membrane of formaldehyde-fixed SV40-transformed cells was demonstrated directly by the protein A-mediated binding of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on formaldehyde-fixed SV40-transformed cells precoated with antiserum against sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured T-antigen. Both cell surface staining and S. aureus binding were found to be highly specific for SV40 T-antigen-related binding sites. These results indicate that T-antigen-related molecules in a cryptic form are located on the surface of SV40-transformed monolayer cells and can be detected in situ after modification of the cell surface architecture.

Abstract
HeLa cells infected with the nondefective adenovirus type 2-simian virus 40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND1 or Ad2+ND2 were analyzed for cell surface location of the SV40-specific hybrid virus proteins by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Two different batches of sera from SV40 tumor-bearing hamsters, serum from SV40 tumor-bearing mice, or two different antisera prepared against purified sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured SV40 T-antigen, respectively, were used. All sera were shown to exhibit comparable T- and U-antibody titers and to specifically immunoprecipitate the SV40-specific proteins from cell extracts of Ad2+ND2-infected cells. Whereas analysis of living, hybrid virus-infected HeLa cells did not yield conclusive results, analysis of Formalin-fixed cells resulted in positive cell surface fluorescence with both Ad2+ND1- and Ad2+ND2-infected HeLa cells when antisera prepared against sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured SV40 T-antigen were used as first antibody. In contrast, sera from SV40 tumor-bearing animals were not or only very weakly able to stain the surfaces of these cells. The fact that the tumor sera had comparable or even higher T- and U-antibody titers than the antisera against sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured T-antigen but were not able to recognize SV40-specific proteins on the cell surface suggests that SV40 tumor-specific transplantation antigen may be an antigenic entity different from T- or U-antigen.

Abstract
The distribution of simian virus 40 large tumor antigen in subcellular fractions from simian virus 40-transformed hamster (H-50) and mouse (VLM) cells and from simian virus 40-infected monkey cells was determined. Solubilized [(35)S]-methionine- or (32)P(i)-labeled surface membrane and nuclear fractions were prepared, immunoprecipitated with hamster anti-T serum, and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Tumor antigen with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 96,000 was detected in both subcellular fractions. Minor components of approximately 68,000 and approximately 56,000 with anti-T reactivity which labeled with [(35)S]methionine were also detected in both fractions from H-50 cells, as were components of approximately 140,000 and approximately 56,000 from VLM cells. The 56,000 component appeared to be greatly reduced in (32)P(i)-labeled surface membrane fractions. Normal cells or cells transformed with a heterologous agent, such as polyoma virus or a chemical carcinogen, lacked immunoprecipitable tumor antigen. Cell fractionation was monitored by [(3)H]thymidine labeling, NADH-diaphorase activity, and Na(+)-K(+)-dependent ATPase activity. These analyses revealed only trace contamination of surface membranes by nuclei, extremely low levels of nuclear rupture during homogenization, and an approximate 10-fold enrichment of surface membrane. Reconstruction experiments demonstrated that soluble tumor antigen failed to associate or copurify with surface membranes during fractionation procedures. These results indicate the presence of a protein in the plasma membrane of cells transformed or infected by simian virus 40 that is immunologically indistinguishable from nuclear tumor antigen.

Abstract
Simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed cells and cells infected by the nondefective adenovirus 2(Ad2)-SV40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND1 and Ad2+ND2 were analyzed for SV40 T- and U-antigens, respectively, using individual hamster SV40 tumor sera or serum for which U-antibodies were removd by absorption. These studies showed that (i) T- and U-antigens can be defined by separate classes of antigenic determinants and (ii) the U-antigenic determinants in SV40-transformed cells and in hybrid virus-infected cells are similar. The apparent discrepancy in the subcellular location of U-antigen in SV40-transformed cells (nuclear location) and in hybrid virus-infected cells (perinuclear location) as determined by immunofluorescence staining of methanol/acetone-fixed cells could be resolved by treating hybrid virus-infected cells with a hypotonic KCl solution before fixation. Upon this treatment hybrid virus-infected cells also showed nuclear U-antigen staining. The possibility of an association of T- and U-antigens with different nuclear subfractions in SV40-transformed cells was investigated. Detergent-cleaned nuclei of SV40-transformed cells were fractionated into nuclear matrices and a DNase-treated, high-salt nuclear extract. Analysis of the nuclear matrices by immunofluorescence microscopy with T+U+ and T+U- hamster SV40 tumor serum revealed that U-antigen remained associated with the nuclear matrices, whereas T-antigen could not be detected in this nuclear subfraction. T-antigen, however, could be immunoprecipitated from nuclear extracts of the SV40-transformed cells.

Abstract
Ad2(+)ND(1), a nondefective hybrid virus containing a segment of the early region of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA covalently inserted into the human adenovirus 2 genome, enhances the growth of human adenoviruses in simian cells and induces the SV40 U antigen. This hybrid previously has been shown to code for a 28,000 (28K) molecular weight protein not present in wild-type adenovirus 2-infected cells. By radioimmunoprecipitation using sera from hamsters bearing SV40-specific tumors, we have established that the Ad2(+)ND(1)-induced 28K protein is SV40-specific. This Ad2(+)ND(1)-induced protein is synthesized as a 30K molecular weight precursor, which is detectable only when infected cells are pulse-labeled in the presence of the protease inhibitor tosylamino phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone. Upon fractionation of labeled cell extracts, about 80% of the 28K protein is found in the plasma membrane fraction, whereas the remaining 20% is associated with the outer nuclear membrane. This protein is not detectable either in the nucleus or in the cytoplasm. Blockage of proteolytic cleavage by tosylamino phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone did not alter the topographic distribution of this SV40-specific protein, although the amount of the precursor protein in the outer nuclear membrane increased fourfold while that in the plasma membrane was proportionately decreased. This result suggests that the 28K protein is transferred from the outer nuclear membrane to the plasma membrane after posttranslational cleavage of the 30K precursor polypeptide. These data offer further support to the proposal that the 28K protein contains the determinants for SV40 U antigen and is responsible for SV40 enhancement of adenovirus growth in simian cells.

Abstract
mRNA extracted from a variety of simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected monkey cell lines directs the cell-free synthesis of viral T-antigen polypeptides with molecular weights estimated as 90,000 and 17,000. However, the size, abundance, and distribution of these T-antigens synthesized in vivo vary greatly over a range of permissive and transformed cell lines. To establish whether differences in the size of T-antigen polypeptides can be correlated with the transformed or lytic state, recently developed lines of SV40-transformed monkey cells that are permissive to lytic superinfection were analyzed for T-antigen. In these cells, regardless of the state of viral infection, the size and pattern of T-antigen are the same. However, species differences in the largest size of T-antigen are the same. However, species differences in the largest size of T-antigen do exist. In addition to the 90,000 T-antigen, mouse SV3T3 cells contain a 94,000 T-antigen polypeptide as well. Unlike the size variations in monkey cells, which are due to modification of T-antigen polypeptides, the 94,000 SV3T3 T-antigen results from an altered mRNA, since the cell-free products of SV3T3 mRNA also contains the 94,000 T-antigen polypeptide.

Abstract
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.
