Abstract

The large T (LT) antigen encoded by SV40 virus is a multi-domain, multi-functional protein that can not only transform cells but can also function as an efficient molecular machine to unwind duplex DNA for DNA replication. Here we report our findings on the oligomeric forms, domain interactions, and ATPase and helicase activities of various LT constructs. For the LT constructs that hexamerize, only two oligomeric forms, hexameric and monomeric, were detected in the absence of ATP/ADP. However, the presence of ATP/ADP stabilizes LT in the hexameric form. The LT constructs lacking the N- and C-terminal domains, but still retaining hexamerization ability, have ATPase as well as helicase activities at a level comparable to the full-length LT, suggesting the importance of hexamerization for these activities. The domain structures and the possible interactions between different LT fragments were probed with limited protease (trypsin) digestion. Such protease digestion generated a distinct pattern in the presence and absence of ATP/ADP and Mg(2+). The most C-terminal fragment (residues 628-708, containing the host-range domain), which was thought to be completely unstructured, was somewhat trypsin-resistant despite the presence of mul...Continue Reading
