DNA-binding properties of phosphorylated and dephosphorylated D2-T antigen, a simian-virus-40 T-antigen-related protein
Abstract
I have examined the role of phosphorylation of D2-T antigen in its DNA-binding properties and ATPase activity. Treatment of partially purified D2-T antigen with alkaline phosphatase resulted in removal of maximally 90% of the phosphate label associated with the radio-labeled protein. The specific and nonspecific DNA-binding properties of partially dephosphorylated D2-T antigen were identical to those of the untreated control. In contrast, acid phosphatase was able to dephosphorylate D2-T antigen quantitatively. The general affinity for DNA of the completely dephosphorylated protein was unchanged or eventually slightly increased. However, its specific affinity for a restriction fragment containing the canonical T-antigen-binding sites was drastically reduced as shown by competition with unlabeled salmon sperm DNA. The results imply that nonspecific DNA binding of D2-T antigen is unaffected by phosphorylation whereas a specific phosphorylation site seems to be involved in the formation and/or stabilization of the specific protein-DNA complex. On the other hand, the ATPase activity of D2-T antigen seems to be unaffected by the degree of phosphorylation.
