Abstract

Adenovirus 2 RNA synthesized early in productive infection was analyzed by RNA-DNA hybridization. Hybridization experiments were performed with adenovirus 2 DNA and wit, the six adenovirus 2 DNA fragments generated 0y digestion with the restriction endonuclease Eco R.R1. Duplex formation between RNA and -32P-labeled viral DNA was assayed by S(1) nuclease digestion. RNA from the cytoplasm annealed 12 percent of the total viral DNA and the following percentage of each of the R.R1 fragments: 6 percent of R1-A, 24 percent of R1-B, 0 percent of R1-F, 40 percent of R1-D, 13 percent of R1-E, and 22 percent of R1-C. The early cytoplasmic RNA is composed of two sequence classes: class I, present in greatly reduced quantities at late times in infection (18 h), and class II, which remains at high concentrations at 18 h. In hybridization-inhibition experiments, hybridization of class II RNA is inhibited by late cytoplasmic RNA, whereas hybridization of class I RNA is not blocked by late cytoplasmic RNA (J. J. Lucas and H. S. Ginsberg, 1971; E.A. Craig and H. J. Raskas, 1971). To determine the location of class I and II sequences on the genome, membrane bound DNA fragments were used in hybridization-inhibition experiments. These studies demonstrated that the early cytoplasmic transcripts of R1-D belong to class II, whereas R1-C transcripts are class I sequences. The cytoplasmic RNAs transcribed from fragments A and B contain both class I and class II sequences. Analysis of cytoplasmic RNA fractionated by size demonstrated that the class I sequences include a 19 S RNA transcribed from R1-B and class II sequences include a 20S RNA derived from R1-D. Nuclear RNA purified from cultures early in infection was annealed with -32P-labeled R1 fragments. With all six fragments the nuclear RNA annealed as much or more of the DNA than did cytoplasmic RNA. Eco R1-F annealed at least 25 percent with early nuclear RNA, whereas no sequences homologous to R1-F were detected in early cytoplasmic RNA. When cultures were labeled from 2 to 6 h after infection, at least 5 percent of the -3H-labeled early nuclear viral RNA annealed to Eco R1-F. Some of these nuclear transcripts from R1-F appear to be covalently linked to sequences transcribed from a contiguous region of the genome (Eco R1-B). 8.4 percent of the RNA selected by hybridization of R1-F reannealed to R1-B, whereas no more than 1.5 percent reannealed to R1 fragments A, D, E, or C.
