Abstract

Replication of linear single-stranded parvovirus DNA proceeds by a rolling-hairpin mechanism which generates long, palindromic, duplex concatamers. Processing to monomer length requires initiation from origins of DNA replication located at the 3' and 5' ends of each embedded monomer, reactions which can be recapitulated in vitro for minute virus of mice (MVM). To determine which cellular proteins were essential for replication from these origins, S100 extracts from 293S cells were fractionated on phosphocellulose. When recombined, these fractions were able to support replication in vitro, dependent on the viral initiator protein NS1, using plasmid forms of the 5' origin or the minimal 3' origin as templates. Fraction P-cell 1 contains two factors, replication protein A (RPA) and proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), known to be essential for simian virus 40 replication in vitro. When P-cell 1 was replaced with purified recombinant RPA and PCNA, NS1-mediated MVM replication initiated from the 5' origin but not from the 3' origin. The 3' origin is a 50-bp sequence containing three distinct recognition elements, an NS1 binding site, a site at which NS1 nicks the DNA to generate the priming 3' OH, and a region containing a consensus activated transcription factor (ATF) binding site. To identify the missing factor(s) for 3' origin replication, P-cell 1 was fractionated by further chromatography and active fractions were identified by their ability to complement RPA, PCNA, and P-cell 2 for NS1-mediated, origin-specific replication. Gel shift and UV cross-linking analysis of the replication-competent fractions revealed a novel 110-kDa sequence-specific DNA binding protein which recognized the consensus ATF binding site region of the origin and which we have termed parvovirus initiation factor, or PIF. Binding of PIF appears to activate the endonuclease function of NS1, allowing efficient and specific nicking of the 3' minimal origin under stringent conditions in vitro.
