SV40 Large T Antigen
Introduction
The large tumor antigen is a multifunctional regulatory protein encoded by Simian Virus 40. It is classified under the AAA+ family of helicases [1]. Noteworthy for its versatility, the protein is responsible for initiation of viral DNA replication, regulation of viral transcription and alteration of the host cell cycle to promote viral infectivity. Large T-antigen is an early gene product of SV40 and is produced via differential mRNA splicing.
Structure
T-antigen consists of an N-terminal J domain, a central origin-binding domain, and a C-terminal helicase domain [1].

Helicase
The monomer of the hexameric helicase contains a AAA+ domain. Each monomer binds and hydrolyzes an ATP in the presence of magnesium ion and drives an overall conformational change in the hexamer.
