Abstract
To sort out possible influences of protein sequences and fatty acid acylation on the plasma membrane association of simian virus 40 large T-antigen, we have analyzed the membrane interactions of carboxy-terminal fragments of large T-antigen, encoded by the adenovirus type 2 (Ad2+)-simian virus 40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND1 and Ad2+ND2. The 28,000 (28K)-molecular-weight protein of Ad2+ND1 as well as the 42K and 56K proteins of Ad2+ND2 associate preferentially with membranous structures and were found in association with the membrane system of the endoplasmic reticulum and with plasma membranes. Neither the endoplasmic reticulum membrane- nor the plasma membrane-associated 28K protein of Ad2+ND1 is fatty acid acylated. We, therefore, conclude that fatty acid acylation is not necessary for membrane association of this protein and suggest that an amino acid sequence in this protein is responsible for its membrane interaction. In contrast, the 42K and 56K proteins of Ad2+ND2 in plasma membrane fractions contain fatty acid. However, the interaction of these proteins with the plasma membrane differs from that of the 28K protein of Ad2+ND1: whereas the 28K protein of Ad2+ND1 interacts stably with Nonidet P-40-soluble constituents of the plasma membrane, the 42K and 56K proteins of Ad2+ND2 are tightly bound to the Nonidet P-40-insoluble plasma membrane lamina. Thus, an amino acid sequence in the amino-terminal region of the 28K protein confers membrane affinity to these proteins, whereas a region between the amino-terminal end of the 42K protein of Ad2+ND2 and the amino-terminal end of the 28K protein of Ad2+ND1 contains a reactive site for fatty acid acylation. This posttranslational modification correlates with the stable association of the 42K and 56K proteins with the plasma membrane lamina. We suggest that the same sequences also mediate the proper plasma membrane association of large T-antigen in simian virus 40-transformed cells.

Abstract
The nondefective adenovirus type 2 (Ad2)-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid viruses, Ad2+ND2 and Ad2+ND4, have been used to determine which regions of the SV40 genome coding for the large tumor (T) antigen are involved in specific and nonspecific DNA binding. Ad2+ND2 encodes 45,000 M4 (45K) and 56,000 Mr (56K) T antigen-related polypeptides. The 45K polypeptide did not bind to DNA, but the 56K polypeptide bound nonspecifically to calf thymus DNA, Ad2+ND4 encodes 50,000 Mr (60K), 66,000 Mr (66K), 70,000 Mr (70K), 74,000 Mr (74K), and 90,000 Mr (90K) T antigen-related polypeptides, all of which bound nonspecifically to calf thymus DNA. However, in more stringent assays, where tight binding to viral origin sequences was tested, only the 90K protein specified by Ad2A+ND4 showed specific high affinity for sequences at the viral origin of replication. From these results and previously published experiments describing the SV40 DNA integrated into these hybrid viruses, it was concluded that SV40 early gene sequences located between 0.39 and 0.44 SV40 map units contribute to nonspecific DNA binding, whereas sequences located between 0.50 and 0.63 SV40 map units are necessary for specific binding to the viral origin of replication.

Abstract
Growth of adeno-associated virus (AAV) requires expression of certain adenovirus (Ad) genes in the same cell. AAV particles contain three proteins, VP1 (Mr 85,700), VP2 (Mr 72,000), and VP3 (Mr 61,500). These proteins have overlapping peptide maps. We recently reported that AAV RNAs make up a 3'-coterminal family of overlapping molecules. We report here that the most abundant AAV mRNA, a 2.3-kilobase spliced RNA, codes for all three proteins--VP1, VP2, and VP3--when translated in an in vitro reticulocyte lysate. This shows that the AAV capsid proteins are coded by the genome sequence between map positions 48.0 and 96.0 (1 map unit is 1% of the genome or 47 base pairs). When AAV was grown in human KB cells with the Ad temperature-sensitive mutant Ad5ts125 at the nonpermissive temperature (40 degrees C), the accumulation in vivo of AAV capsid proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3 was decreased to less than 1/50th. However, normal amounts of the 2.3-kilobase mRNA were accumulated, and this RNA could be efficiently translated in an in vitro reticulocyte lysate system to yield VP1, VP2, and VP3. These experiments suggest that in infected cells control is exerted upon the AAV 2.3-kilobase mRNA at the translational level and that this control can be influenced by mutations in Ad. These Ad mutations map in the region 2 early gene for the Ad DNA-binding protein. The temperature-sensitive system that we have studied may be useful for analysis of translational control of a eukaryotic mRNA.

Abstract
We have examined hybrid viral RNAs synthesized in both human and monkey cells infected by three nondefective adenovirus type 2 (Ad2)-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid viruses; Ad2+ND1, Ad2+ND2, and Ad2+ND4. Most of the hybrid viral RNA molecules appeared to be initiated within adenoviral sequences, but were polyadenylated on their 3' end at the early SV40 mRNA polyadenylation site. The Ad2+ND4 stock of virus was not homogeneous, but consisted of two principle populations of viral DNA. Both populations contained a segment of SV40 DNA extending from the SV40 map positions 0.63 to 0.11 in a left-to-right orientation at adenovirus map position 0.82. One population contained an intact SV40 segment, whereas the other (representing 80 to 85% of the population) has a 500-base pair deletion mapping from approximately 0.60 to 0.50 SV40 map units. This deletion encompassed the SV40 DNA segment which encodes the early SV40 splice sites. Cells infected by the mixed Ad2+ND4 population induced the synthesis of at least three major SV40 RNA species among the hybrid viral transcripts. The most abundant of these hybrid mRNA's appeared only late in the lytic cycle, after the onset of viral DNA replication. It contained an RNA splice junction which extended from a donor (5') nucleotide within the adenoviral RNA sequences to an acceptor (3') splice site within the early region of SV40 at 0.46 SV40 map units. This SV40 acceptor splice site was remarkable in that its use has not been detected in the spliced viral mRNA's of SV40-infected or -transformed cells.

Abstract
A glycolipid extract was prepared from an SV40-transformed hamster cell line (EH-SV) according to the Folch partition procedure. The glycolipids from the aqueous layer were incorporated in liposomal membranes composed of lecithin/sphingomyelin/cholesterol (1:1:2 by weight). This liposomal preparation was inoculated in Syrian hamsters to raise immune sera. The sera were absorbed with trypsinized "normal" hamster cells (EH-N) and tested on various cell lines by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. When used for staining living cells, the immune serum produced a distinct cell-surface fluorescence with SV40-transformed cell lines regardless of the cell origin (e.g., rat or hamster). No reaction was observed with heterologous Py-transformed cell lines, spontaneously transformed cells, or sera from non-immunized hamsters. When used for staining acetone-fixed cells, the antiglycolipid serum reacted specifically with a thermostable antigen in the nuclear envelope and the cytoplasm of SV40-transformed cells. The sera lack interfering SV40 T reactivity. The results indicate the presence of related SV40-specific glycolipid antigen(s) in the plasma membrane, the nuclear membrane and probably other endomembranes of SV40-transformed cells.

Abstract
We report here the nucleotide sequence of the simian virus 40 DNA region that lies between the EcoRII restriction endonuclease cleavage sites at map positions 0.214 and 0.281. The sequence was determined by partial chemical degradation of terminally labeled DNA fragments according to the procedure of Maxam and Gilbert. This region represents 6.7% of the SV40 genome and is located in the middle of HindII + III restriction fragment B. It is expressed as part of the early 19-S messenger RNA, which codes for the large-T antigen protein. Only one open reading frame for translation can be deduced from the message strand of the DNA and this reading frame connects in phase with the one of both neighboring fragments. This publication is the last in a series of papers about the T-antigen gene, and several properties of this gene and its product are discussed. The non-randomness of codon usage is similar to that previously discussed for the late part of the genome. Moreover, it appears that the choice of a third letter can be determined by the nature of the following codon; some codons which start with a pyrimidine are almost never preceded by an adenosine and some ANN-type codons are almost never preceded by a guanosine.

Abstract
HeLa cells infected with the nondefective adenovirus type 2-simian virus 40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND1 or Ad2+ND2 were analyzed for cell surface location of the SV40-specific hybrid virus proteins by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Two different batches of sera from SV40 tumor-bearing hamsters, serum from SV40 tumor-bearing mice, or two different antisera prepared against purified sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured SV40 T-antigen, respectively, were used. All sera were shown to exhibit comparable T- and U-antibody titers and to specifically immunoprecipitate the SV40-specific proteins from cell extracts of Ad2+ND2-infected cells. Whereas analysis of living, hybrid virus-infected HeLa cells did not yield conclusive results, analysis of Formalin-fixed cells resulted in positive cell surface fluorescence with both Ad2+ND1- and Ad2+ND2-infected HeLa cells when antisera prepared against sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured SV40 T-antigen were used as first antibody. In contrast, sera from SV40 tumor-bearing animals were not or only very weakly able to stain the surfaces of these cells. The fact that the tumor sera had comparable or even higher T- and U-antibody titers than the antisera against sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured T-antigen but were not able to recognize SV40-specific proteins on the cell surface suggests that SV40 tumor-specific transplantation antigen may be an antigenic entity different from T- or U-antigen.

Abstract
Simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed cells and cells infected by the nondefective adenovirus 2(Ad2)-SV40 hybrid viruses Ad2+ND1 and Ad2+ND2 were analyzed for SV40 T- and U-antigens, respectively, using individual hamster SV40 tumor sera or serum for which U-antibodies were removd by absorption. These studies showed that (i) T- and U-antigens can be defined by separate classes of antigenic determinants and (ii) the U-antigenic determinants in SV40-transformed cells and in hybrid virus-infected cells are similar. The apparent discrepancy in the subcellular location of U-antigen in SV40-transformed cells (nuclear location) and in hybrid virus-infected cells (perinuclear location) as determined by immunofluorescence staining of methanol/acetone-fixed cells could be resolved by treating hybrid virus-infected cells with a hypotonic KCl solution before fixation. Upon this treatment hybrid virus-infected cells also showed nuclear U-antigen staining. The possibility of an association of T- and U-antigens with different nuclear subfractions in SV40-transformed cells was investigated. Detergent-cleaned nuclei of SV40-transformed cells were fractionated into nuclear matrices and a DNase-treated, high-salt nuclear extract. Analysis of the nuclear matrices by immunofluorescence microscopy with T+U+ and T+U- hamster SV40 tumor serum revealed that U-antigen remained associated with the nuclear matrices, whereas T-antigen could not be detected in this nuclear subfraction. T-antigen, however, could be immunoprecipitated from nuclear extracts of the SV40-transformed cells.

Abstract
Cells transformed by simian virus 40 (SV40) possess a tumor-specific transplantation antigen (TSTA) that has the property of immunizing animals against syngeneic tumor challenge. We find that the early SV40 DNA segment present in the human adenovirus 2 (Ad2)-SV40 hybrid, Ad2+ND1, is sufficient to induce this SV40-specific TSTA in BALB/c mice. Moreover, studies on the intracellular distribution of TSTA activity in Ad2+ND1-infected cells, as determined by the ability of various subcellular fractions to immunize mice against syngeneic tumor challenge, have suggested a correlation between this biological activity and the presence of the SV40-specific 28,000Mr protein in coded by this hybrid virus. Both the TSTA activity and the 28,000 Mr protein are found in the plasma membrane fraction and in the perinuclear region of infected cells but are virtually undetectable in the cytoplasmic fraction. Using a hamster antitumor antiserum that can specifically immunoprecipitate the 28,000 Mr protein, we are able to demonstrate a loss of TSTA activity concomitant with the removal of this SV40-coded protein. Thus, it appears that antigenic determinants responsible for SV40-specific tumor rejection in mice are contained within the 28,000 Mr protein coded for by the early SV40 DNA segment that extends from 0.17 to 0.28 map unit.
