Abstract

The left end of the genome of mouse adenovirus type 1 (also known as strain FL) was characterized by determination of the DNA sequence, amino acid similarities with early region proteins of primate adenoviruses, and a functional assay. Several specific DNA sequence features were similar to those found in human adenoviruses, and open reading frames from this region could encode proteins similar to human adenovirus early region 1A and early region 1B proteins. DNAs from this region were tested in transient-expression assays in human and mouse cells were found to transactivate the human adenovirus type 5 early region 3 promoter fused to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene. The data indicate structural and functional homologies between mouse adenovirus type 1 early region 1 and early region 1 of primate adenoviruses.
