RESUMO

UV radiation and other carcinogenic agents induce an increase in DNA-binding activity to the early domain of the simian virus 40 (SV40) minimal origin in both SV40-permissive and SV40-nonpermissive cells. The increase is due to posttranslational modification of a preexisting protein, since it occurs in the presence of cycloheximide or anisomycin. Binding of this factor is an absolute requirement for the UV-induced SV40 DNA amplification in Co631 cells in vivo. A synthetic double-stranded oligonucleotide covering the early domain sequence totally blocked the UV-induced amplification in competition experiments. Point mutants of the sequence and unrelated oligonucleotides which could not bind the factor also did not block SV40 amplification. Inhibitors of protein synthesis caused an immediate increase of both early-domain factor activity (perhaps by prolonging mRNA half-life for the factor or for a modifying enzyme) and DNA amplification. The effects of UV and cycloheximide on SV40 amplification were superaddition.
