Abstract
A group of mutants (cyt mutants) with much reduced oncogenicity was isolated from the highly oncogenic human adenovirus type 12 (Takemori et al., Virology 36: 575-586, 1968). These mutants induce extensive cellular destruction during lytic infection of human cells and produce low yields of virions. We report here that human KB cells infected with cyt mutants synthesized a reduced amount of viral DNA as compared with cells infected with the parental virus. Furthermore, the newly synthesized viral and cellular DNAs were extensively degraded in mutant-infected cells. Viral DNA was first synthesized as complete genome size, and most of it was degraded to subgenomic size within 6 h after synthesis. This virus-induced DNA degradation function, as well as the low yield of virions, was prevented by co-infection with the parental virus.
