Adenovirus gene function required for induction of nuclear acidic protein synthesis: binding of these proteins to adenovirus DNA.

Abstract

Two different viral DNA-defective temperature-sensitive mutants of adenovirus 12 (H 12) were defective in their ability to induce the synthesis of various molecular weight classes of nuclear acidic proteins, both virion and nonvirion components, after lytic infection of human embryo kidney (HEK) cells at the restrictive temperature. This finding indicates that the induction of nuclear acidic protein synthesis is an adenovirus gene function(s). Treatment of infected cells with actinomycin D at an early stage of virus maturation suppressed the synthesis of an acidic virion protein (hexon), but allowed the synthesis of other classes of nuclear nonvirion acidic proteins during the subsequent late maturation period, suggesting that different mechanisms control virion and nonvirion polypeptide synthesis. The interaction of the nuclear acidic proteins isolated from H 12-infected cells with native-labeled H 12 DNA was studied using the membrane filter technique. Measurements of the ability of different DNA preparations to inhibit the H 12 DNA-acidic protein complex formation suggest that the nuclear acidic proteins bound to native H 12 or HEK cell DNA with much higher affinity than to native calf thymus DNA. Moreover, native H 12 DNA was able to bind the acidic proteins more efficiently than did denatured H 12 DNA. The acidic proteins isolated from the cytoplasm of H 12-infected cells bound approximately 100-fold less to native H 12 DNA than did the nuclear proteins. Furthermore, the H 12 DNA binding affinity of the nuclear acidic proteins from uninfected cells, or from H 12-infected and 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine-treated cells, was somewhat lower than that of the nuclear proteins from infected (untreated) cells.
