Abstract
When tethered in cis to DNA, the transcriptional corepressor mSin3B inhibits polyomavirus (Py) ori-dependent DNA replication in vivo. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) appear not to be involved, since tethering class I and class II HDACs in cis does not inhibit replication and treating the cells with trichostatin A does not specifically relieve inhibition by mSin3B. However, the mSin3B L59P mutation that impairs mSin3B interaction with N-CoR/SMRT abrogates inhibition of replication, suggesting the involvement of N-CoR/SMRT. Py large T antigen interacts with mSin3B, suggesting an HDAC-independent mechanism by which mSin3B inhibits DNA replication.

Abstract
Replication of the small DNA tumor virus, simian virus 40 (SV40), is largely dependent on host cell functions, because SV40, in addition to virion proteins, codes only for a few regulatory proteins, the most important one being the SV40 large tumor antigen (T-antigen). This renders SV40 an excellent tool for studying complex cellular and viral processes. In this review we summarize and discuss data providing evidence for virtually all major viral processes during the life cycle of SV40 from viral DNA replication to virion formation, being performed at or within structural systems of the nucleus, in particular the chromatin and the nuclear matrix. These data further support the concept that viral replication in the nucleus is structurally organized and demonstrate that viruses are excellent tools for analyzing the underlying cellular processes. The analysis of viral replication at nuclear structures might also provide a means for specifically interfering with viral processes without interfering with the corresponding cellular functions.

Abstract
The nuclear matrix plays an important role in simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication in vivo, since functional replication complexes containing large T and replicating SV40 minichromosomes are anchored to this structure (R. Schirmbeck and W. Deppert, J. Virol. 65:2578-2588, 1991). In the present study, we have analyzed the course of events leading from nuclear matrix-associated replicating SV40 minichromosomes to fully replicated minichromosomes and, further, to their encapsidation into mature SV40 virions. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that newly replicated SV40 minichromosomes accumulated at the nuclear matrix and were directly encapsidated into DNase-resistant SV40 virions at this nuclear structure. Alternatively, a small fraction of newly replicated minichromosomes left the nuclear matrix to associate with the cellular chromatin. During the course of infection, progeny virions continuously were released from the nuclear matrix to the cellular chromatin and into the cytoplasm-nucleoplasm. The bulk of SV40 progeny virions, however, remained at the nuclear matrix until virus-induced cell lysis.

Abstract
Irradiation of simian virus 40 (SV40)-infected cells with low fluences of UV light (20 to 60 J/m2, inducing one to three pyrimidine dimers per SV40 genome) causes a dramatic inhibition of viral DNA replication. However, treatment of cells with UV radiation (20 J/m2) before infection with SV40 virus enhances the replication of UV-damaged viral DNA. To investigate the mechanism of this enhancement of replication, we analyzed the kinetics of synthesis and interconversion of viral replicative intermediates synthesized after UV irradiation of SV40-infected cells that had been pretreated with UV radiation. This enhancement did not appear to be due to an expansion of the size of the pool of replicative intermediates after irradiation of pretreated infected cells; the kinetics of incorporation of labeled thymidine into replicative intermediates were very similar after irradiation of infected control and pretreated cells. The major products of replication of SV40 DNA after UV irradiation at the low UV fluences used here were form II molecules with single-stranded gaps (relaxed circular intermediates). There did not appear to be a change in the proportion of these molecules synthesized when cells were pretreated with UV radiation. Thus, it is unlikely that a substantial amount of DNA synthesis occurs past pyrimidine dimers without leaving gaps. This conclusion is supported by the observation that the proportion of newly synthesized SV40 form I molecules that contain pyrimidine dimers was not increased in pretreated cells. Pulse-chase experiments suggested that there is a more efficient conversion of replicative intermediates into form I molecules in pretreated cells. This could be due to more efficient gap filling in relaxed circular intermediate molecules or to the release of blocked replication forks. Alternatively, the enhanced replication observed here may be due to an increase in the excision repair capacity of the pretreated cells.

Abstract
We are examining the effects of preirradiation of host (monkey) cells upon the replication of UV-damaged SV40. Control cells and cells preirradiated with low fluences (5 or 10 J/m2) of UV were infected with undamaged SV40, and the immediate effects of a subsequent irradiation were determined. UV inhibited total SV 40 DNA synthesis (incorporation of thymidine into viral DNA) in both preirradiated and control cells, but the extent of inhibition was less in the preirradiated cells. A test fluence of 60 J/m2 to SV40 replicating in preirradiated cells reduced synthesis only as much as a test fluence of 25 J/m2 in control cells. The fraction of recently replicated SV40 molecules that re-entered the replication pool and subsequently completed one round of replication in the first 2 h after UV was also decreased less in the preirradiated cells. Thus preirradiation of the host cell mitigates the immediate inhibitory effects of a subsequent UV exposure upon SV40 replication.

Abstract
Analysis of two agnogene mutants, dl2304 deleted over the entire agnogene and in2379 carrying a 2-base insert, indicated that the mutant phenotype of small plaque formation must be the result of a defect late in the maturation pathway. Both mutants were removed from the pool of molecules available for replication with wild-type kinetics. Whereas dl2304 was somewhat reduced in its rate of progression from chromatin to previrions-virions, in2379, which produced even smaller plaques than dl2304 did, progressed with wild-type kinetics. Therefore, the agnoprotein was not required for progression from chromatin to previrions.

Abstract
Pulse-labeled simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA is removed from the pool of molecules available for replication (i.e., it ceases to reenter replication) a few hours after synthesis. We studied this cessation of reentry with mutants containing different deletions in the structural genes of SV40. The DNAs of two independent deletion mutants, dl-1007 (24% deletion) and dl-1003 (8% deletion), were used as templates for further DNA synthesis (i.e., they reentered replication) to a greater extent than was wild-type DNA. The alteration in reentry kinetics was not because the DNAs were smaller; other deletion mutations that were from 76 to 85% of the length of wild-type DNA (dl-BE and dl-1133 with a deletion in the late region and F8dl with a deletion in the early region) did not reenter replication to a greater extent than the wild type did. Cotransfection experiments showed that the mutant phenotypes of dl-1007 and dl-1003 were poorly complemented, if at all, by the wild type. Thus, we propose that there is a cis-acting sequence located in the HindIII E fragment of SV40, not present in either of these mutants, that promotes the efficient removal of DNA from the replication pathway.

Abstract
A comparison was made between two alternative methods for the nuclear extraction of Simian virus 40 (SV40) virions and nucleoprotein complexes (NPCs) from SV40-infected TC7 cells. The low-salt hypotonic method of Su and DePamphilis (1976) was compared with the detergent method of Garber et al. (1978), since other methods had been shown to result in virion breakdown. There was no disruption of mature SV40 virions with either of these extraction procedures. There was, however, considerably more effective extraction of SV40 NPCs, known to contain large tumor (T) antigen, using the low-salt hypotonic method as opposed to the detergent method. Thus, the low-salt hypotonic method for extraction should be the method of choice when studying SV40 DNA replication or the function of SV40 T antigen in SV40 nucleoprotein complexes.

Abstract
UV irradiation of simian virus 40-infected cells at fluences between 20 and 60 J/m2, which yield one to three pyrimidine dimers per simian virus 40 genome, leads to a fluence-dependent progressive decrease in simian virus 40 DNA replication as assayed by incorporation of [3H]deoxyribosylthymine into viral DNA. We used a variety of biochemical and biophysical techniques to show that this decrease is due to a block in the progression of replicative-intermediate molecules to completed form I molecules, with a concomitant decrease in the entry of molecules into the replicating pool. Despite this UV-induced inhibition of replication, some pyrimidine dimer-containing molecules become fully replicated after UV irradiation. The fraction of completed molecules containing dimers goes up with time such that by 3 h after a UV fluence of 40 J/m2, more than 50% of completed molecules contain pyrimidine dimers. We postulate that the cellular replication machinery can accommodate limited amounts of UV-induced damage and that the progressive decrease in simian virus 40 DNA synthesis after UV irradiation is due to the accumulation in the replication pool of blocked molecules containing levels of damage greater than that which can be tolerated.

Abstract
The fraction and DNA composition of simian virus 40 chromosomes that were complexed with large T-antigens (T-Ag) were determined at the peak of viral DNA replication. Simian virus 40 chromatin containing radiolabeled DNA was extracted by the hypotonic method of Su and DePamphilis (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 73:3466-3470, 1976) and then fractionated by sucrose gradient sedimentation into replicating (90S) and mature (70S) chromosomes. Viral chromosomes containing T-Ag were isolated by immunoprecipitation with saturating amounts of either an anti-T-Ag monoclonal antibody or an anti-T-Ag hamster serum under conditions that specifically precipitated T-Ag protein from cytosol extracts. An average of 10% of the uniformly labeled DNA in the 90S pool and 7.5% in the 70S pool was specifically precipitated, demonstrating that under these conditions immunologically reactive T-Ag was tightly bound to only 8% of the total viral chromosomes. In contrast, simian virus 40 replicating intermediates (RI) represented only 1.2% of the viral DNA, but most of these molecules were associated with T-Ag. At the shortest pulse-labeling periods, an average of 72 +/- 18% of the radiolabeled DNA in 90S chromosomes could be immunoprecipitated, and this value rapidly decreased as the labeling period was increased. Electron microscopic analysis of the DNA before and after precipitation revealed that about 55% of the 90S chromosomal RI and 72% of the total RI from both pools were specifically bound to T-Ag. Comparison of the extent of replication with the fraction of RI precipitated revealed a strong selection for early replicating DNA intermediates. Essentially all of the RI in the 70S chromosomes were less than 30% replicated and were precipitated with anti-T-Ag monoclonal antibody or hamster antiserum. An average of 88% of the 90S chromosomal RI which were from 5 to 75% replicated were immunoprecipitated, but the proportion of RI associated with T-Ag rapidly decreased as replication proceeded beyond 70% completion. By the time sibling chromosomes had separated, only 3% of the newly replicated catenated dimers in the 90S pool (<1% of the dimers in both pools) were associated with T-Ag. Measurements of the fraction of radiolabeled DNA in each quarter of the genome confirmed that T-Ag was preferentially associated with newly initiated molecules in which the nascent DNA was nearest the origin of replication. These results are consistent with a specific requirement for the binding of T-Ag to viral chromosomes to initiate DNA replication, and they also demonstrate that T-Ag does not immediately dissociate from chromosomes once replication begins. The biphasic relationship between the fraction of T-Ag-containing RI and the extent of DNA replication suggests either that 1 or 2 molecules of T-Ag remain stably bound until replication is about 70% completed or that 4 to 6 molecules of T-Ag are randomly released from each RI at a uniform rate throughout replication.

Abstract
The effects of ultraviolet light (uv) upon SV40 DNA synthesis in monkey cells were examined to determine whether replication forks were halted upon encountering lesions in the DNA, or alternatively whether lesions were rapidly bypassed. Ultraviolet light inhibits elongation of nascent DNA strands; the extent of incorporation of [3H]deoxythymidine ( [3H]dT) into DNA decreases with increasing uv fluence. Inhibition begins within minutes of irradiation, and becomes more pronounced with increasing time after irradiation. The synthesis of form I (covalently closed) molecules is inhibited even more severely than is total incorporation: post-uv incorporation is predominantly into replication intermediates. In contrast to previous reports, we find that replication intermediates labeled after uv resemble those in unirradiated cells, and contain covalently closed parental strands. DNA strands made after uv are approximately the size of parental DNA which has been cleaved at pyrimidine dimers by a uv endonuclease, indicating that they do not extend past dimers. The hypothesis that replication forks are halted upon encountering pyrimidine dimers in the template strand is consistent with these data.

Abstract
The role of histone acetylation in the replication and maturation pathways of simian virus 40 was assessed. Histones were hyperacetylated by briefly exposing infected cells to sodium butyrate. Viral DNA in cells exposed to butyrate was found to reenter replication to a greater extent and mature to the previrion form to a lesser extent than viral DNA in control cells. Previrions formed in the presence of butyrate had altered sedimentation properties. These data suggest that increased acetylation of histones is not the signal for removal of DNA from the pool of molecules available for replication. It appears, in fact, that hyperacetylation retards entry into and progression along the maturation pathway.

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.
