Abstract

This chapter will present evidence that UV-enhanced reactivation (ER) of SV40 is due to the restoration of viral early gene function. The observation supporting this conclusion is, simply, that ER acts only on damage in the viral early gene region; lesions elsewhere in the SV40 genome are not subject to ER. The implication of this finding is that cells respond to UV-induced damage by inducing the ability to synthesize RNA from a damaged DNA template.
