Abstract
The replication of simian virus 40 has been studied by using cell-free extracts derived from hum an 293 cells. Fractionation of this extract has led to the identification of three fractions that are required for efficient DNA synthesis. Initial fractionation of the crude extract by phosphocellulose chrom atography has produced two fractions, I and II, neither of which is able to support replication separately, but when they are combined, efficient synthesis is restored. Both fractions are required, with SV40 T antigen, for the formation of a presynthesis complex at the SV40 origin. The major replication enzymes, DNA polymerase, DNA primase and the topoisomerases I and II all reside in fraction II. Fraction I has been subdivided into two subfractions (A and B) by DEAE-cellulose chrom atography. Fraction A is essential for replication and is required for presynthesis complex formation. Fraction B stimulates DNA replication and is only required at the elongation stage. This m ulticom ponent system has provided the foundation for identification of individual components that are required for DNA replication in vitro .Keywords
