Abstract The complete nucleotide sequence has been determined for three newly cloned evolutionary variants from two different independently generated evolutionary series (1100 and 2100 series) of simian virus 40 (SV40). These naturally arising variants, designated ev-1110, ev-2102, and ev-2114, were isolated after five high multiplicity serial passages. The structure of the variants consists of a monomeric unit tandemly repeated four times (ev-2102 and ev-2114) or six times (ev-1110) in the variant genome; the variants have four or six copies, respectively, of the viral origin signal for DNA replication. The DNA content in the three variants is vastly different in that the genome of variant ev-2114 contains only rearranged viral sequences, while variant ev-2102 contains a substitution with monkey DNA sequences consisting of a nearly complete dimeric unit of Alu family sequences as well as less repetitive sequences and variant ev-1110 contains monkey DNA sequences derived solely from repetitive alpha-component DNA. Recombination events, cellular sequences, and structural features of these and other naturally arising SV40 variants are compared.
