Expression of the simian virus 40 large T antigen (large T) in F111 rat fibroblasts generated only minimal transformants (e.g., F5 cells). Interestingly, F111-derived cells expressing only an amino-terminal fragment of large T spanning amino acids 1 to 147 (e.g., FR3 cells), revealed the same minimal transformed phenotype as F111 cells expressing full-length large T. This suggested that in F5 cells the transforming domain of large T contained within the C-terminal half of the large T molecule, and spanning the p53 binding domain, was not active. Progression to a more transformed phenotype by coexpression of small t antigen (small t) could be achieved in F5 cells but not in FR3 cells. Small-t-induced progression of F5 cells correlated with metabolic stabilization of p53 in complex with large T: whereas in F5 cells the half-life of p53 in complex with large T was only slightly elevated compared with that of (uncomplexed) p53 in parental F111 cells or that in FR3 cells, coexpression of small t in F5 cells led to metabolic stabilization and to high-level accumulation of p53 complexed to large T. In contrast, coexpression of small t had no effect on p53 stabilization or accumulation in FR3 cells. This finding strongly supports the assumption that the mere physical interaction of large T with p53, and thus p53 inactivation, in F5 cells expressing large T only does not reflect the main transforming activity of the C-terminal transforming domain of large T. In contrast, we assume that the transforming potential of this domain requires activation by a cellular function(s) which is mediated by small t and correlates with metabolic stabilization of p53.
