Abstract

Mutants dl312, dl314, hr1, and hr3 with mutations in region E1A of adenovirus type 5 were defective for the induction of cell cycle abnormalities detectable by flow cytometry, cell DNA replication, thymidine kinase production, and chromosome aberrations and did not synthesize the viral DNA-binding protein (E2A) in rat cells. dl311, a leaky E1A mutant, induced cell cycle effects at high multiplicity in only one of three experiments, and synthesized the DNA-binding protein. hr7 (E1B) gave a wild-type response in all tests. dl313 was also positive in all tests, although it induced fewer polyploid cells than did wild-type virus, probably because of the leftward extension of the dl313 E1B deletion into E1A. sub315 and sub316, with mutations which also span the E1A-E1B border, synthesized DNA-binding protein, but caused no cell cycle alterations detectable by flow cytometry in rat or mouse cells. Although the participation of other viral early regions cannot be completely excluded, our results suggest that alteration of cell cycle progression is a direct effect of E1A unrelated to its control of other viral early regions, and may be the function of E1A in transformation.
