Species-specific cellular DNA-binding proteins expressed in mouse cells transformed by chemical carcinogens

Species-specific cellular DNA-binding proteins expressed in mouse cells transformed by chemical carcinogens

Abstract

Mouse cells transformed by DNA and RNA tumor viruses and by chemical carcinogens have been examined for the presence of specific DNA-binding proteins by DNA-cellulose chromatography. Using mouse DNA-cellulose we have obtained single-stranded DNA-binding proteins from two clones transformed by chemical carcinogens. Simian virus 40 transformants also have a DNA-binding protein [the tumor (T) antigen] that binds to mouse and human DNA with comparable affinity. Mouse sarcoma virus-transformed cells and two other chemically transformed clones showed no difference in DNA-binding protein pattern compared to the untransformed parental cell. The DNA-binding proteins isolated from the chemically transformed cell clones are between 25,000 and 30,000 daltons by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These cellular "T proteins" bind to the homologous mouse cellular DNA with a higher affinity than to heterologous human cellular DNA.
