The hamster cell line HE5 has been derived from primary hamster embryo cells by transformation with human adenovirus type 2 (Ad2). Each cell contains 2-3 copies of Ad2 DNA inserted into host DNA at apparently identical sites. The site of the junction between the right terminus of Ad2 DNA and hamster cell DNA was cloned and sequenced. The eight [corrected] right terminal nucleotides of Ad2 DNA were deleted. The unoccupied cellular DNA sequence in cell line HE5 , corresponding to the site of the junction between Ad2 and hamster cell DNA, was also cloned; 120-130 nucleotides in the cellular DNA were found to be identical to the cellular DNA sequence in the cloned junction DNA fragment, up to the site of the junction. The unoccupied and the occupied cellular DNAs and the adjacent viral DNA exhibited a few short nucleotide homologies. Patch homologies ranging in length from dodeca - to octanucleotides were detected by computer analyses at locations more remote from the junction site. When the right terminal nucleotide sequence of Ad2 DNA was matched to randomly selected sequences of 401 nucleotides from vertebrate or prokaryotic DNA, similar homologies were observed. It is likely that foreign (viral) DNA can be inserted via short sequence homologies at many different sites of cellular DNA.  相似文献

The adenovirus type 12 (Ad12)-induced mouse tumor CBA-12-1-T contains greater than 30 copies of viral DNA integrated into cellular DNA. One of the sites of linkage between the left terminus of Ad12 DNA and mouse DNA was cloned, mapped and sequenced by using conventional techniques. The preinsertion sequence was also cloned from normal CBA/J mouse DNA and sequenced. The sequence data and blotting analyses demonstrated that at the site of linkage nine nucleotide pairs of viral DNA and at least 1500 to 1600 nucleotide pairs of cellular DNA were deleted. Up to the site of linkage, the cellular DNA sequence in CBA-12-1-T tumor DNA and the preinsertion sequence in CBA/J mouse cells were identical. The site of Ad12 DNA integration was found to be located close to a site of transition from unique to repetitive cellular DNA sequences. The nucleotide sequence at the site of linkage and at the preinsertion site revealed palindromic stretches of 5 and 10 nucleotides pairs, respectively. Scattered patch homologies (8-10 nucleotide pairs long) were observed between adenoviral and cellular DNAs. A hypothetical model for DNA arrangements at the site of recombination is presented.  相似文献

Hamster cell line HE5 has been established from primary LSH hamster embryo cells by transformation with adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) (1). Each cell contains two to three copies of integrated Ad2 DNA (2, 3). We cloned and sequenced the sites of junction between viral and cellular DNAs. The terminal 10 and 8 nucleotides of Ad2 DNA were deleted at the left and right sites of junction, respectively. The integrated viral DNA had an internal deletion between map units 35 and 82 on the Ad2 genome. At the internal site of deletion, the remaining viral sequences were linked via a GT dinucleotide of unknown origin. From HE5 DNA, the unoccupied sequence corresponding to the site of insertion was also cloned and sequenced. Part of this sequence was shown to be expressed as cytoplasmic RNA in HE5 and primary LSH hamster embryo cells. The viral DNA had been inserted into cellular DNA without deletions, rearrangements or duplications of cellular nucleotides at the site of insertion. Thus, insertion of Ad2 DNA appeared to have been effected by a mechanism different from that of bacteriophage lambda in Escherichia coli and from that of retroviral genomes in vertebrates. It was conceivable that the terminal viral protein (4) was somehow involved in integration either on a linear or a circularized viral DNA molecule.  相似文献

A cell-free system of nuclear extracts from BHK21 cells has been developed to catalyse recombination in vitro between the DNA of adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) and two different hamster preinsertion sequences. The pBR322 cloned 1768 bp fragment p7 and the 3.1 kbp fragment p16 from BHK21 hamster DNA had previously been identified as the preinsertion sites corresponding to the junctions between Ad12 DNA and hamster DNA in cell line CLAC1 and in the Ad12-induced tumour T1111(2), respectively. Preinsertion sequences, which had recombined previously with foreign (Ad12) DNA, might again be recognized by the recombination system even in a cell-free system. PstI cleaved Ad12 DNA and the circular or the EcoRI linearized p7 or p16 preinsertion sequences were incubated with nuclear extracts. Recombinants were isolated by transfecting the DNA into recA- Escherichia coli strains and by screening for Ad12 DNA-positive colonies. Without a selectable eukaryotic marker, all Ad12 DNA positive recombinants were registered. Out of a total of greater than 90 p7-Ad12 DNA recombinants, 21 were studied by restriction-hybridization, and four by partial nucleotide sequence analyses. Among the p16-Ad12 DNA recombinants, four were analysed. The sites of linkage between Ad12 DNA and p7 or p16 hamster DNA were all different and distinct from the original CLAC1 or T1111(2) junction site between Ad12 and hamster DNA. The in vitro recombinants were not generated by simple end-to-end joining of the DNA fragments used in the reaction but by genetic exchange. Thirteen of the 25 recombinants were derived from the 61-71 map unit fragment of Ad12 DNA. Recombination experiments between Ad12 DNA and four randomly selected unique or repetitive hamster DNA sequences of 1.5-6.2 kbp in length did not yield recombinants. Apparently, the p7 and p16 hamster preinsertion sequences recombined with Ad12 DNA with a certain preference.  相似文献

The patterns and sites of integration of adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) DNA were determined in three lines of Ad12-transformed hamster cells and in two lines of Ad12-induced hamster tumor cells. The results of a detailed analysis can be summarized as follows. (i) All cell lines investigated contained multiple copies (3 to 22 genome equivalents per cell in different lines) of the entire Ad12 genome. In addition, fragments of Ad12 DNA also persisted separately in non-stoichiometric amounts. (ii) All Ad12 DNA copies were integrated into cellular DNA. Free viral DNA molecules did not occur. The terminal regions of Ad12 DNA were linked to cellular DNA. The internal parts of the integrated viral genomes, and perhaps the entire viral genome, remained colinear with virion DNA. (iii) Except for line HA12/7, there were fewer sites of integration than Ad12 DNA molecules persisting. This finding suggested either that viral DNA was integrated at identical sites in repetitive DNA or, more likely, that one or a few viral DNA molecules were amplified upon integration together with the adjacent cellular DNA sequences, leading to a serial arrangement of viral DNA molecules separated by cellular DNA sequences. Likewise, in the Ad12-induced hamster tumor lines (CLAC1 and CLAC3), viral DNA was linked to repetitive cellular sequences. Serial arrangement of Ad12 DNA molecules in these lines was not likely. (iv) In general, true tandem integration with integrated viral DNA molecules directly abutting each other was not found. Instead, the data suggested that the integrated viral DNA molecules were separated by cellular or rearranged viral DNA sequences. (v) The results of hybridization experiments, in which a highly specific probe (143-base pair DNA fragment) derived from the termini of Ad12 DNA was used, were not consistent with models of integration involving true tandem integration of Ad12 DNA or covalent circularization of Ad12 DNA before insertion into the cellular genome. (vi) Evidence was presented that a small segment at the termini of the integrated Ad12 DNA in cell lines HA12/7, T637, and A2497-3 was repeated several times. The exact structures of these repeat units remained to be determined. The occurrence of these units might reflect the mechanism of amplification of viral and cellular sequences in transformed cell lines.  相似文献

In previous work we have described a symmetric recombinant (SYREC1) between Ad12 DNA and human KB cell DNA. This recombinant DNA molecule has been generated during productive infection and is encapsidated into virions. From the DNA of a similar symmetric recombinant (termed SYREC2) between the left terminus of Ad12 DNA and human KB cellular DNA, the site of linkage between the two DNAs was cloned and sequenced. It was demonstrated that the first 2081 Ad12 nucleotides counting from the left viral terminus are conserved and linked to a sequence of GC-rich (70.4% G + C) KB cell DNA which occurs about 20 times per cellular genome. Except for a common 5'-CTGGC-3' pentanucleotide between the Ad12 DNA and KB cell DNA sequences, extensive patch homologies were not apparent at the site of junction. Similarly, comparisons of the deleted Ad12 DNA sequence and the cellular sequence replacing it did not reveal patch homologies. The 304 bp abutting the Ad12 terminus were shown to hybridize to KB cell DNA. These results provided definitive proof for the occurrence of recombinants between viral and cellular DNAs in human cells productively infected by Ad12 as previously shown by less direct experiments (Burger and Doerfler, 1974; Schick et al., 1976). Across the site of junction, an open reading frame exists which extends the truncated 54-kDal protein of the E1b region of Ad12 DNA for another 66 amino acids encoded by KB cellular DNA. This sequence is terminated by two UGA translational termination signals. The hypothetical protein has not yet been isolated.  相似文献

The adenovirus type 2 (Ad2)-transformed hamster cell line HE5 contains one or very few integrated copies of Ad2 DNA. At the site of insertion of Ad2 DNA, the cellular DNA sequence has been completely preserved and has homologies to small unpolyadenylated, cytoplasmic RNAs of 300 nucleotides in length and to minority populations of smaller RNAs present in HE5 cells and in normal hamster cells. The 300-nucleotide RNA is present on average in approximately 20 copies per cell. This RNA, and shorter RNAs, reveal homologies to the hamster DNA sequence of approximately 400 nucleotides to the right of the site of insertion of Ad2 DNA, which is present in one or very few copies per genome. The nucleotide sequence of the DNA segment homologous to this RNA does not contain open reading frames in excess of a sequence encoding 18 amino acids. Thus, it is unlikely that the small RNAs are actually translated and their function is unknown. The nucleotide sequence does not exhibit similarities to known low mol. wt. RNAs of eukaryotic origin. The low mol. wt. cellular RNA has been found in HE5 cells, in other hamster cell lines and organs, and also in mouse cells. There are differences with respect to size and abundance in the RNAs smaller than 300 nucleotides between HE5 cells and LSH hamster embryo cells. The adenovirus type 12 (Ad12)-induced mouse tumor CBA-12-1-T carries greater than 30 copies of integrated Ad12 DNA. The cellular DNA sequence at the site of Ad12 DNA insertion exhibits homologies to small RNAs (approximately 300 nucleotides long) from mouse cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

We have previously described a cell-free recombination system derived from hamster cell nuclear extracts in which the in vitro recombination between a hamster preinsertion sequence, the cloned 1768 base-pair p7 fragment, and adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) DNA has been demonstrated. The nuclear extracts have now been subfractionated by gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-300 column. The activity promoting cell-free recombination elutes from the Sephacryl S-300 matrix with the shoulder and not the peak fractions of the absorbancy profile. By using these protein subfractions, in vitro recombinants have been generated between the p7 preinsertion sequence and the 60 to 70 map unit fragment of Ad12 DNA, which has previously shown high recombination frequency. In all of the analyzed recombinants thus produced in vitro, striking patchy homologies have been observed between the p7 and Ad12 junction sequences, and between Ad12 DNA or p7 DNA and pBR322 DNA. The patchy homologies are similar to those found earlier during the analyses of some of the junction sequences in integrated Ad12 genomes in Ad12-induced hamster tumor cell lines. Proteins in the shoulder fractions of the gel-filtration experiment can form specific complexes with double-stranded synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides corresponding to several p7 and Ad12 DNA sequences. These sequences participate in the recombination reactions catalyzed by the same column fractions in the shoulder of the absorbancy profile. Such proteins have not been found in the peak fractions. Further work will be required to ascertain that the cell-free recombination system mimics certain elements of the mechanisms of integrative recombination and to purify the cellular components essential for recombination.  相似文献

A DNA segment carrying viral DNA was cloned from a rat cell line transformed by the cloned EcoRI-C fragment (0 to 16.4 map units) of human adenovirus type 12(Ad12), and the viral sequence in the clone was analysed. The cloned segment contained the region from nucleotide positions 118 to 3520 of the Ad12 genome in the middle. No unique structure was found at the viral and non-viral DNA junctions. When examined the transforming activity, the conserved viral sequence was able to transform rat 3Y1 cells efficiently. Southern blotting analysis of the viral sequence in five re-transformed cell lines showed that the viral sequence was inserted at different sites of cellular DNA. These results indicate that (I) the Ad12 DNA moiety from the enhancer-promoter region of the E1A gene to the end of the E1B gene contains enough information for efficient transformation of the rat cell, and (II) integration of the viral sequence at unique cellular sites is not prerequisite for transformation.  相似文献

The hamster cell line BHK268-C31 contains two large viral inserts which both include sequences from the left-hand end of adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) DNA. One of these viral inserts has been cloned in the λ vector Charon 4A. Electron microscopic analysis and restriction enzyme mapping shows that the recombinant carries a 4.4-kb-long colinear segment of viral DNA, which is located between map positions 1.5 and 14.2 in the Ad5 genome. The junctions between viral DNA and flanking sequences have been sequenced and found not to show any specific features. One of the junctions is located in the E1 a coding region, 573 bp from the left-hand end of the Ad5 genome, whereas the other junction is situated in the coding region for polypeptide IVa2. The promoter region as well as the cap site for the mRNAs from region E la are thus missing from this insert and its role in viral transformation is unclear.  相似文献

Approximately 20 to 22 copies of adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) DNA per cell were integrated into the genome of the cell line T637. Only a few of these copies seemed to remain intact and colinear with virion DNA. All other persisting viral genomes exhibited deletions or inversions or both in the right-hand part of Ad12 DNA. Spontaneously arising morphological revertants of T637 cells has lost viral DNA. In most of the revertant cell lines only the intact or a part of the intact viral genome was preserved; other revertant cell lines has lost all viral DNA. In three other Ad12-transformed hamster cell lines, HA12/7, A2497-3, and CLAC3 (Stabel et al., J. Virol. 36:22-40, 1980), major rearrangements at the right end of the integrated Ad12 DNA were not found. These studies were performed to investigate the phenomena of amplification, rearrangements, and deletions of Ad12 DNA in hamster cells.  相似文献

The patterns of integration of viral DNA in five lines of adenovirus type 2-transformed hamster cells have been investigated. Cell lines HE1 to HE5 were obtained by in vitro transformation of hamster embryo cells by ultraviolet light-inactivated Ad22. In all lines, segments in the central parts of the viral genome are missing. The lines HE1, HE2, HE3, HE4 and HE5 contain 2 to 4, 2 to 4, 6 to 10, about 10, and 2 to 3 genome fragment equivalents per cell, respectively.The patterns of integration in lines HE2 and HE3 are identical; however, the viral genome has been amplified in these cell lines to different extents. This result provides evidence for the post-integrational amplification of inserted viral genomes. It is also conceivable that line HE2 may have undergone losses of integrated Ad2 genomes. The persisting Ad2 genomes in lines HE2 and HE3 have deletions in parts of the EcoRI F and D fragments. The remainders of these fragments are linked to cellular DNA. The termini of the segments of the viral genome have been inverted and linked to each other. This linkage could have occurred via a circular intermediate in integration or via tandemly integrated viral genomes with subsequent deletion events. The linkage of the termini of viral DNA might be mediated by short sequences of cellular DNA.In line HE5, approximately 40% of the Ad2 genome is deleted, and the truncated segments, again comprising the terminal Ad2 DNA fragments, have been fused. The termini of the viral DNA are linked to cellular DNA. In lines HE1 and HE4 complex deletion and fusion events have altered the inserted Ad2 genomes.  相似文献

In the DNA of the adenovirus type 12 (Ad12)-transformed hamster cell line T637 approximately 20-22 viral DNA molecules per cell are covalently linked to cellular DNA. Spontaneously arising morphological revertants of T637 cells have lost the bulk of the viral DNA. We have been able to mimic the excision event of viral DNA, as it occurs during reversion, by autoincubation of isolated nuclei from T637 cells. The same Ad12 DNA sequences, which had been deleted in morphological revertants, proved highly sensitive to endogenous nucleases in isolated nuclei of T637 cells. Viral DNA sequences, which persisted in the revertants, are resistant to endogenous nucleases in isolated T637 nuclei. All attempts to clone the nuclease-sensitive sites of Ad12 DNA in cell line T637 have so far failed. After denaturation and renaturation of T637 DNA followed by treatment with S1 nuclease, large fold-back structures of DNA have been found. These snap-back structures were derived from precisely those viral DNA restriction fragments which were uncloneable. The fragments containing palindromic sequences were both highly sensitive to endogenous nucleases in isolated T637 nuclei and were absent from the DNA of all revertant cell lines. Moreover, the palindromic sequences are susceptible to the phage T4-specific endonuclease VII which specifically attacks cruciform structures in DNA. The peculiar structures at the termini of integrated Ad12 DNA molecules are highly sensitive to endogenous nucleases in isolated nuclei. These nucleases may be related to the reversion event.  相似文献

Nuclear factor I is a 47-kd protein, isolated from nuclei of HeLa cells, that binds specifically to the inverted terminal repeat of the adenovirus (Ad) DNA and enhances Ad DNA replication in vitro. We have studied the DNA sequence specificity of nuclear factor I binding using cloned terminal fragments of the Ad2 genome and a set of deletion mutants. Binding of nuclear factor I protects nucleotides 19-42 of Ad2 DNA against DNase I digestion. Filter binding assays show that deletion of the first 23 nucleotides does not impair binding while a deletion of 24 nucleotides reduces binding severely. However, binding studies on Ad12 DNA indicate that nucleotide 24 can be mutated. Fragments containing the first 40 bp are bound normally while the first 38 bp are insufficient to sustain binding. Taken together, these results indicate that the minimal recognition site of nuclear factor I contains 15 or 16 nucleotides, located from nucleotide 25 to nucleotide 39 or 40 of the Ad2 DNA. This site contains two of the four conserved nucleotide sequences in this region. Sequences flanking the minimal recognition site may reduce the binding affinity of nuclear factor I. In accordance with these binding studies, DNA replication of a fragment that carries the sequence of the terminal 40 nucleotides of Ad2 at one molecular end is enhanced by nuclear factor I in an in vitro replication system.  相似文献

The patterns of integration of the viral genome have been analyzed in four hamster cell lines transformed by adenovirus type 12 (Ad12). It has previously been shown that in each of the cell lines HA12/7, T637, A2497-2 and A2497-3, the viral genome persists in multiple copies, and that different parts of the viral DNA are represented non-stoichiometrically (Fanning and Doerfler, 1976). All four cell lines are oncogenic when injected into hamsters.The DNA from each of the cell lines was extracted and cleaved in different experiments with restriction endonucleases Bam HI, Bgl II, Eco RI, Hind III, Hpa II or Sma I. The DNA fragments were separated on 1% agarose slab gels and transferred to nitrocellulose filters by the Southern technique. Ad12 DNA sequences were detected by hybridization to Ad12 DNA, which was 32P-labeled by nick translation, and by subsequent autoradiography. In some experiments, the 32P-labeled Eco RI restriction endonuclease fragments of Ad12 DNA were used to investigate the distribution of specific segments of the viral genome in the cellular DNA.For each cell line, a distinct and specific pattern of integrated viral DNA sequences is observed for each of the restriction endonucleases used. Moreover, viral sequences complementary to the isolated Eco RI restriction endonuclease fragments are also distributed in patterns specific for each cell line. There are striking differences in integration patterns among the four different lines; there are also similarities. Because the organization of cellular genes in virus-transformed as compared to normal cells has not yet been determined, conclusions about the existence or absence of specific integration sites for adenovirus DNA appear premature. Analysis of the integration patterns of Ad12 DNA in the four hamster lines investigated reveals that some of the viral DNA molecules are fragmented prior to or during integration. Analysis with specific restriction endonuclease fragments demonstrates that the Eco RI B, D and E fragments, comprising a contiguous segment from 0.17–0.62 fractional length units of the viral DNA, remain intact during integration in a portion of the viral DNA molecules. Although each cell line carries multiple copies of Ad12 DNA, the viral DNA sequences are concentrated in a small number of distinct size classes of fragments. This finding is compatible with, but does not prove, the notion that at least a portion of the viral DNA sequences is integrated into repetitive sequences, or else that the integrated viral sequences have been amplified after integration.In the three cell lines which were tested, the integration pattern is stable over many generations, with continuous passage-twice weekly-of cells for 6–7 months. In the three cell lines which were examined, the integration pattern is identical in a number of randomly isolated clones. Hence it can be concluded that the patterns of integration are identical among all cells in a population of a given line of transformed cells.  相似文献

EcoRI fragments containing integrated viral and adjacent host sequences were cloned from two polyoma virus-transformed cell lines (7axT and 7axB) which each contain a single insert of polyoma virus DNA. Cloned DNA fragments which contained a complete coding capacity for the polyoma virus middle and small T-antigens were capable of transforming rat cells in vitro. Analysis of the flanking sequences indicated that rat DNA had been reorganized or deleted at the sites of polyoma virus integration, but none of the hallmarks of retroviral integration, such as the duplication of host DNA, were apparent. There was no obvious similarity of DNA sequences in the four virus-host joins. In one case the virus-host junction sequence predicted the virus-host fusion protein which was detected in the transformed cell line. DNA homologous to the flanking sequences of three out of four of the joins was present in single copy in untransformed cells. One copy of the flanking host sequences existed in an unaltered form in the two transformed cell lines, indicating that a haploid copy of the viral transforming sequences is sufficient to maintain transformation. The flanking sequences from one cell line were further used as a probe to isolate a target site (unoccupied site) for polyoma virus integration from uninfected cellular DNA. The restriction map of this DNA was in agreement with that of the flanking sequences, but the sequence of the unoccupied site indicated that viral integration did not involve a simple recombination event between viral and cellular sequences. Instead, sequence rearrangements or alterations occurred immediately adjacent to the viral insert, possibly as a consequence of the integration of viral DNA.  相似文献
