Regulation of simian virus 40 gene expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes.
Michaeli T, Prives C.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Expression of the simian virus 40 (SV40) early and late regions was examined in Xenopus laevis oocytes microinjected with viral DNA. In contrast to the situation in monkey cells, both late-strand-specific (L-strand) RNA and early-strand-specific (E-strand) RNA could be detected as early as 2 h after injection. At all time points tested thereafter, L-strand RNA was synthesized in excess over E-strand RNA. Significantly greater quantities of L-strand, relative to E-strand, RNA were detected over a 100-fold range of DNA concentrations injected. Analysis of the subcellular distribution of [35S]methionine-labeled viral proteins revealed that while the majority of the VP-1 and all detectable small t antigen were found in the oocyte cytoplasm, most of the large T antigen was located in the oocyte nucleus. The presence of the large T antigen in the nucleus led us to investigate whether this viral product influences the relative synthesis of late or early RNA in the oocyte as it does in infected monkey cells. Microinjection of either mutant C6 SV40 DNA, which encodes a large T antigen unable to bind specifically to viral regulatory sequences, or deleted viral DNA lacking part of the large T antigen coding sequences yielded ratios of L-strand to E-strand RNA that were similar to those observed with wild-type SV40 DNA. Taken together, these observations suggest that the regulation of SV40 RNA synthesis in X. laevis oocytes occurs by a fundamentally different mechanism than that observed in infected monkey cells. This notion was further supported by the observation that the major 5' ends of L-strand RNA synthesized in oocytes were different from those detected in infected cells. Furthermore, only a subset of those L-strand RNAs were polyadenylated.
