RESUMO

DNA polymerase α-primase (pol-prim), a complex consisting of four subunits, is the major species-specific factor for mouse polyomavirus (PyV) and simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication. Although p48 is the most conserved subunit of pol-prim, it is required for in vitro PyV DNA replication but can inhibit cell-free SV40 DNA replication. Production of chimeric human-mouse p48 revealed that different regions of p48 are involved in supporting PyV DNA replication and inhibiting SV40 DNA replication. The N and C-terminal parts of p48 do not have species-specific functions in cell-free PyV DNA replication, but the central part (amino acids [aa] 129 to 320) controls PyV DNA replication in vitro. However, PyV T antigen physically binds to mouse, human, and chimeric pol-prim complexes independently, whether they support PyV DNA replication or not. In contrast to the PyV system, the inhibitory effects of mouse p48 on SV40 DNA replication are mediated by N- and C-terminal regions of p48. Thus, a chimeric p48 containing human aa 1 to 128, mouse aa 129 to 320, and human aa 321 to 418 is active in both PyV and SV40 DNA replication in vitro.
