Abstract
Five viable deletion mutants of simian virus 40 (SV40) were prepared and characterized. These mutants lack 15 to 60 base pairs between map positions 0.198 and 0.218, near the 3′ end of the early region of SV40 and extend further into the body of the A gene, encoding the large T antigen, than previously described deletion mutants. These mutants were isolated after transfection of monkey kidney CV-1p cells with full-sized linear DNA prepared by partial digestion of form I SV40 DNA with restriction endonucleases HinfI or MboII, followed by removal of approximately 25 base pairs of DNA from the 5′ termini using λ-5′-exonuclease and purification of the DNA in agarose gels. Based on camparisons of the DNA sequence of SV40 and polyoma virus, these mutations map in the 19% of the SV40 A gene that shares no homology with the A gene of polyoma virus. The mutations exist in two different genetic backgrounds: the original set of mutants (dl2401 through dl2405) was prepared, using as a parent SV40 mutant dl862, which has a deletion at the single HpaII site (0.725 map unit). A second set (dl2491 through dl2495) contains the same deletions in a wild-type SV40 (strain SV-S) background. Relative to wild-type SV40, the original mutants showed reduced rates of growth, lower yields of progeny virus and viral DNA, and smaller plaque size; in these properties the mutants resembled parental dl862, although mutant progeny yields were usually lower than yields of dl862, suggesting a possible interaction between the two deletions. The second set of mutants had growth properties and progeny yields similar to those of wild-type SV40; however, Southern blotting experiments indicated that viral DNA replication proceeds at a slightly reduced rate. All of the mutants transformed mouse NIH/3T3 cells and mouse embryo fibroblasts at the same frequency as wild-type SV40. Mutants dl2402, dl2492, and dl2405 consistently produced denser and larger foci in both types of cells. All mutants directed the synthesis of shortened large T antigens. Adenovirus helper function was retained by all mutants.
