Abstract

The role of phosphorylation in regulating the biochemical properties of SV40 large T antigen has been examined. Treatment of purified T antigen with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase resulted in the removal of 80% of the 32P label. This partially dephosphorylated T antigen displayed an increase in its ability to support DNA replication in vitro. This increase in replication activity was paralleled by an activation of specific DNA binding to site II, a necessary element within the origin of SV40 DNA replication. In contrast, the ATPase activity of dephosphorylated T antigen remained unchanged. These results demonstrate that DNA replication is regulated by phosphorylation of an origin specific DNA binding protein.
