The nucleotide sequence of the transforming BglII-H fragment of adenovirus type 7 DNA 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
The nucleotide sequence of the leftmost BglII-H fragment (0--4.5%) of weakly oncogenic human adenovirus serotype 7 (Ad7) has been determined (1568 base pairs). This is the shortest Ad7 DNA fragment reported to transform primary rat cells into an immortal cell line (Dijkema et al., 1979). The l-strand of BhlII-H was found to contain the complete information for a polypeptide of at most 28 051 daltons, followed by the putative promoter site of the next gene. Comparison of the determined Ad7 sequence with that of the corresponding region of non-oncogenic Ad5 (Van Ormondt et al., 1978; Maat and Van Ormondt, 1979) showed that the over-all organization of the two DNAs is quite similar, but that the sequences, except in regions of suspected strategic importance, diverge considerably. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the transforming early region E1 of adenovirus type 5 DNA 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
The sequence of the leftmost 11.3% of the non-oncogenic human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) DNA has been determined. This segment contains the entire early region E1 of the Ad5 genome which has been shown to be involved in in vitro transformation of non-permissive rodent cells (Van der Eb et al., 1980). From the DNA sequence, and from the mRNA sequence data obtained by Perricaudet et al, (1979, 1980) for the E1 mRNAs from the closely related adenovirus type 2 (Ad2), it is possible to predict the primary structure of the polypeptides encoded by this region. The function of these proteins in cell transformation is discussed. From the positions of mapped restriction endonuclease sites and termini of RNA segments in the nucleotide sequence the length of the Ad5 DNA is estimated to be 36.6 kb. 相似文献

The sequence of the leftmost 11% of the weakly oncogenic human adenovirus type 7 (Ad7) DNA has been determined. This part of the Ad7 viral genome encompasses early region E1 which has been shown to be involved in the process of cell transformation in vitro (Dijkema et al., 1979). From the nucleotide sequence and determined coordinates of the E1 mRNAs, we are able to predict the primary structure of the polypeptides encoded by the transforming region of Ad7. The organization of the E1 region of Ad7 and of other adenovirus serotypes (Bos et al. 1981) leads to the proposal of a novel mechanism for gene regulation at the translational level in which protein synthesis can initiate at either the first or the second AUG triplet available in mRNA. The differences between the large E1b-specific tumor antigens of adenovirus types 12, 7 and 5 may explain the differences in oncogenicity of these viruses. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the genes encoded in early region 2b of human adenovirus type 7 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The nucleotide sequence of a cloned DNA segment encoding the early region 2b from the group B human adenovirus Ad7 has been determined. When compared to Ad2, a group C adenovirus, these sequences were found to be approx. 80% homologous within the l-strand gene-coding regions. Most changes are transitions or transversions, although several deletions/insertions also occur within the N-terminal domain of one of the coding regions. The substantial nucleotide homology results in a high degree of amino acid conservation in the predicted polypeptides encoded by the early region 2b genes. Two major open reading frames, corresponding to the Mr 87000 and Mr 140000 polypeptides of Ad2, are found in the l strand of Ad7 between genome coordinates 28.5 to 23.1 and 13.8, respectively. The r strand of the DNA in this region encodes the three leader segments joined to the 5' end of the most late viral mRNAs, and also encodes the i-leader segment found between the second and third leaders on some mRNAs. The positions of the donor and acceptor splice sites of the three leaders are conserved and can be identified by homology to Ad2. Only two of the unidentified open reading frames (URF) in Ad2 (Gingeras et al., J. Biol. Chem., in press) can be found in Ad7. URF1, encoding an Mr 13500 polypeptide at genome coordinate 17, is predominantly conserved in nucleotide and amino acid sequence, but contains one half as many arginine amino acids as does URF1 of Ad2. URF2, encoding an Mr 13600 protein which lies within the i-leader region, is not well conserved in either nucleotide or amino acid sequence. 相似文献

Structure of three spliced mRNAs from region E3 of adenovirus type 2 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
A cDNA library representing early adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) mRNA was constructed. The cDNA copies were inserted into the PstI cleavage site of the pBR322 plasmid, and clones containing sequences from region E3 of the Ad2 genome were identified by colony hybridization. Selected clones were characterized by restriction enzyme cleavage, hybridization, and partial DNA sequence analysis. The precise structure of three spliced mRNAs was established by comparing the results with the DNA sequence of region E3 from Ad2 (Herissé et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 8 (1980) 2173--2191; Herissé and Galibert, Nucl. Acids Res. 9 (1981) 1229--1249). One of the characterized mRNA species encodes the E3/19K glycoprotein, whereas the other two most likely encode the E3/14K protein. The results demonstrate, moreover, that certain splice points which are used to generate the major E3 mRNAs are also used to splice the supplementary leader segments to the fibre mRNA at late times after infection. Two separate poly(A)-addition sites were identified in region E3 by analysis of the cDNA clones; one is preceded by the hexanucleotide sequence AAUAAA, whereas the other is preceded by an altered hexanucleotide, having the sequence AUUAAA. 相似文献

Bovine adenovirus type 2 (BAV2) is a medium size double-stranded DNA virus which infects both bovine and ovine species, resulting in mild respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. To better understand the virus and its growth characterisitics in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells, we have cloned and sequenced the extreme right-end segment of the BAV2 genome (90.5–100 map units). Analysis of the nucleotide sequence revealed 40 potential open reading frames (ORFs) with coding capacity for polypeptides that are 25 or more amino acid (aa) residues long. Six of these ORFs encode polypeptides that show homology to well-characterized early region 4 (E4) proteins of human adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) and Ad12. ORF1 has the potential to encode a 114 aa long polypeptide that is 54% homologous to the E4 14 kDa protein of Ad2. ORF2 encodes a 78 aa long polypeptide that exhibits 40% homology to the E4 13 kDa protein of Ad2. ORFs 3–6 encode polypeptides that have homology to the E4 34 kDa protein encoded by ORF6 of Ad2 and Ad12. ORFs 3, 4 and 5 encode 128, 96 and 31 aa long polypeptides, respectively. The 128-aa polypeptide exhibits 59% homology, while the 96 and 31 aa long polypeptides exhibit 61% and 70% homology to the E4 34 kDa protein, respectively. ORF6 has the potential to encode a 57 aa long polypeptide that has 67% homology to the E4 34 kDa protein of Ad2 and 50% homology to the E4 34 kDa protein of Ad12. 相似文献

Experiments exploring the reasons for a multiplicity of products from early region 1A of adenovirus 5 are described. Labeled early region 1A products from wild-type virus were synthesized in infected cells and in a cell-free system programmed with mRNA from infected cells, immunoprecipitated specifically with an antipeptide serum, E1A-C1, directed against the C-terminal sequence of E1A products, and separated by gel electrophoresis. Two-dimensional maps of [35S]methionine-labeled peptides were consistent with antigens of 52,000 daltons (52K) and 48.5K being from the 13S mRNA and antigens of 50K, 45K, and 35K from the 12S mRNA. Partial N-terminal sequences of 52K, 50K, 48.5K, and 45K synthesized in vitro showed that each of these antigens was initiated at the predicted ATG at nucleotide 560 in the DNA sequence. These results eliminate multiple initiation sites and proteolytic cleavage at the N-terminal end as sources of antigen diversity. Peptide maps and N-terminal sequences were obtained in a similar way for E1A products from the Ad5 deletion mutant dl1504, which lacks the normal initiator codon. As predicted, these polypeptides are initiated at the next ATG, 15 codons downstream in the wild-type sequence. These results are discussed in relation to Kozak's ribosomal scanning model. 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

An essential oncogenic determinant of subgroup D human adenovirus type 9 (Ad9), which uniquely elicits estrogen-dependent mammary tumors in rats, is encoded by early region 4 open reading frame 1 (E4 ORF1). Whereas Ad9 E4 ORF1 efficiently induces transformed foci on the established rat embryo fibroblast cell line CREF, the related subgroup A Ad12 and subgroup C Ad5 E4 ORF1s do not (R. T. Javier, J. Virol. 68:3917-3924, 1994). In this study, we found that the lack of transforming activity associated with non-subgroup D adenovirus E4 ORF1s in CREF cells correlated with significantly reduced protein levels compared to Ad9 E4 ORF1 in these cells. In the human cell line TE85, however, the non-subgroup D adenovirus E4 ORF1s produced protein levels higher than those seen in CREF cells as well as transforming activities similar to that of Ad9 E4 ORF1, suggesting that all adenovirus E4 ORF1 polypeptides possess comparable cellular growth-transforming activities. In addition, searches for known proteins related to these novel viral transforming proteins revealed that the E4 ORF1 proteins had weak sequence similarity, over the entire length of the E4 ORF1 polypeptides, with a variety of organismal and viral dUTP pyrophosphatase (dUTPase) enzymes. Even though adenovirus E4 ORF1 proteins lacked conserved protein motifs of dUTPase enzymes or detectable enzymatic activity, E4 ORF1 and dUTPase proteins were predicted to possess strikingly similar secondary structure arrangements. It was also established that an avian adenovirus protein, encoded within a genomic location analogous to that of the human adenovirus E4 ORF1s, was a genuine dUTPase enzyme. Although no functional similarity was found for the E4 ORF1 and dUTPase proteins, we propose that human adenovirus E4 ORF1 genes have evolved from an ancestral adenovirus dUTPase and, from this structural framework, developed novel transforming properties. 相似文献
