Ultraviolet-irradiated simian virus 40 activates a mutator function in rat cells under conditions preventing viral DNA replication.
The UV-irradiated temperature-sensitive early SV40 mutant tsA209 is able to activate at the nonpermissive temperature the expression of mutator and recovery functions in rat cells. Unirradiated SV40 activates these functions only to a low extent. The expression of these mutator and recovery functions in SV40-infected cells was detected using the single-stranded DNA parvovirus H-1 as a probe. Because early SV40 mutants are defective in the initiation of viral DNA synthesis at the nonpermissive temperature, these results suggest that replication of UV-damaged DNA is not a prerequisite for the activation of mutator and recovery functions in mammalian cells. The expression of the mutator function is dose-dependent, i.e., the absolute number of UV-irradiated SV40 virions introduced per cell determines its level. Implications for the interpretation of mutation induction curves in the progeny of UV-irradiated SV40 in permissive host cells are discussed.

Transformation of established murine fibroblasts with an activated cellular Harvey-ras oncogene or the polyoma virus middle T gene increases cell permissiveness to parvovirus minute-virus-of-mice.
Transformation of permanent rodent fibroblast cells by the polyoma virus middle T gene or the activated human Harvey-ras oncogene results in increased cellular permissiveness to the autonomous parvovirus minute-virus-of-mice. Parvoviral DNA amplification is restricted in the untransformed parental cell lines. Analysis of various parameters of the parvoviral life cycle shows that this block is partially overcome in the transformed lines.
