The up-regulation of the primary response genes occurred in the presence of cycloheximide and when UV-inactivated SV40 was adsorbed to cells. SV40 binding did not activate Raf or mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP/ERK1), or mobilize intracellular Ca2+. The SV40-induced up-regulation of c-myc and c-jun was blocked by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, and by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, calphostin C, but not by expression of the MAP kinase-specific phosphatase, MKP-1. These results suggest that the SV40-induced signalling pathway includes the activities of a tyrosine kinase and a Ca(2+)-independent isoform of PKC, but not of Raf or MAP kinase. Finally, SV40 infectious entry into cells was specifically and reversibly blocked by genistein.}, keywords = {Animals, Calcium, Calcium-Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinases, Cell Cycle Proteins, Cell Line, Cercopithecus aethiops, Dual Specificity Phosphatase 1, Enzyme Inhibitors, Gene Expression Regulation, Viral, Genistein, Humans, Immediate-Early Proteins, Isoflavones, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases, Naphthalenes, Phosphoprotein Phosphatases, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, Protein Kinase C, Protein Phosphatase 1, Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases, Protein-Serine-Threonine Kinases, Proto-Oncogene Proteins, Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-jun, Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-myc, Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-raf, Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-sis, Signal Transduction, Simian virus 40, Up-Regulation}, issn = {0022-1317}, author = {Dangoria, N S and Breau, W C and Anderson, H A and Cishek, D M and Norkin, L C} } @article {703, title = {Class I major histocompatibility proteins are an essential component of the simian virus 40 receptor.}, journal = {J Virol}, volume = {66}, year = {1992}, month = {1992 Apr}, pages = {2037-45}, abstract = {The class I molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) present endogenously synthesized antigenic peptide fragments to cytotoxic T lymphocytes. We show here that these proteins are an essential component of the cell surface receptor for simian virus 40 (SV40). First, SV40 binding to cells can be blocked by two monoclonal antibodies against class I human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) proteins but not by monoclonal antibodies specific for other cell surface proteins. Second, SV40 does not bind to cells of two different human lymphoblastoid cell lines which do not express surface class I MHC proteins because of genetic defects in the beta 2-microglobulin gene in one line and in the HLA complex in the other. Transfection of these cell lines with cloned genes for beta 2-microglobulin and HLA-B8, respectively, restored expression of their surface class I MHC proteins and resulted in concomitant SV40 binding. Finally, SV40 binds to purified HLA proteins in vitro and selectively binds to class I MHC proteins in a cell surface extract.}, keywords = {Animals, Binding, Competitive, Blotting, Western, Cell Line, Flow Cytometry, Histocompatibility Antigens Class I, Humans, Precipitin Tests, Receptors, Virus, Simian virus 40, Transfection}, issn = {0022-538X}, author = {Breau, W C and Atwood, W J and Norkin, L C} }
