Structural relationship between the 100,000- and 17,000- molecular-weight T antigens of simian virus 40 (SV40) as deduced by comparison with the SV40-specific proteins coded by the nondefective adenovirus type 2-SV40 hybrid viruses.

RESUMO
The two-dimensional peptide maps of the methionine-containing tryptic peptides of the 100,000-molecular-weight (100K) and 17K T antigens of simian virus 40 (SV40) have been compared. The two proteins share nine methionine-containing tryptic peptides in common. The 17K T antigen has two peptides not found in the 100K T antigen, and the 100K T antigen has 14 unique peptides. The peptide maps of the 100 K and 17K T antigens were also compared with those of the SV40-specific proteins found in cells infected by the nondefective adenovirus type 2-SV40 hybrid viruses, which we have previously shown are encoded by defined sequences within the early region of SV40 (K. Mann, T. Hunter, G. Walter, and H.K. Linke, J. Virol. 24:151-169, 1977). This comparison shows that the 100K and 17K T antigens share common N-terminal sequences coded for between 0.65 and 0.59 map units on the SV40 genome. Furthermore, none of the sequences in the 17K T antigen arises from the region between 0.54 and 0.18 map units. We deduce that the sequences unique to the 17K T antigen originate between 0.59 and 0.54 map units. This type of structural relationship between the 100K and 17K T antigens fits well with the proposed model (L.V. Crawford, C.N. Cole, A. E. Smith, E. Paucha, P. Tegtmeyer, K. Rundell, and P. Berg, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75:117-121, 1978) for the expression of the early region of SV40.
