RESUMO
We have constructed a frameshift mutation in the simian virus 40 early region using a novel method of oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. The mutated DNA specifies an 84,000-dalton large tumor antigen that consists of approximately equal to 75,000 daltons encoded by the wild-type reading frame and 9,000 daltons, by the alternative reading frame (wild-type large tumor antigen is approximately equal to 82,000 daltons). The frameshifted carboxyl terminus of the protein bears a strong similarity to the same region of polyoma virus middle-sized tumor antigen. We have found that the mutant DNA is unable to replicate when introduced into permissive monkey cells and incapable of transforming nonpermissive mouse cells.
