Temperature-sensitive growth regulation in one type of transformed rat cells induced by the tsa mutant of polyoma virus.

ABSTRACT

A fibroblast line of the 3T3 type with a low saturation density was established from Fisher rat embryo cells. After infection with either wild-type or tsa mutant polyoma virus, transformants were isolated and cloned at 33 degrees C on the basis of their ability either to grow as dense foci on plastic in liquid medium (type N) or to form colonies in soft agar (type A). Polyoma T antigen was detected in all of the transformed lines. The following growth characteristics were studied for both types at 33 and 41 degrees C: saturation density, growth in soft agar and at a low serum concentration, colony-forming ability, and generation time. tsa-N transformants behaved at 33 degrees C similarly to transformed cells, but reverted at 41 degrees C to the nontransformed phenotype for all of these characters. tsa-A transformants and all of the wild-type transformants exhibited the transformed phenotype at both low and high temperatures. These results led us to distinguish at least two types of virus-induced transformants. In one of them, the activity of the protein affected by the tsa mutation appears to be necessary for the expression of several of the characters defining the transformed state.
