RNA synthesis in isolated nuclei: in vitro initiation of adenovirus 2 major late mRNA precursor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have analyzed the RNA produced in vitro by incubating nuclei from HeLa cells infected with adenovirus serotype 2. Our results show that adenovirus-specific RNA is produced at a linear rate for up to 2.5 hr. Hybridization analysis of RNA produced in nuclei isolated 18 hr after infection indicated that transcription begins at the "late promoter" at map position 16.5. Sequence analysis of the 5' termini of the in vitro transcripts showed that this system initiates RNA chains de novo at the correct promoter and that the 5' terminus is capped.

Synthesis and processing of adenoviral RNA in isolated nuclei.
Adenoviral RNA sequences synthesized in nuclei isolated during the late phase of productive infection comprise, besides virus-associated, VA, RNA, five major species, ranging in size from approximately 13S to 55S. The latter RNA species is of the length predicted if the major transcriptional unit expressed during the late phase were completely copied in vitro. Some 30% of the RNA sequences labe...
متن کاملFidelity of adenovirus RNA transcription in isolated HeLa cell nuclei.
An in vitro nuclear system from adenovirus type 2-infected cells was developed to study transcription of viral RNA. Nuclei isolated from adenovirus-infected HeLa cells late in the infectious cycle synthesized in vitro only RNA from the r-strand of adenovirus DNA. Around 15% of the virus-specific RNA in isolated nuclei was polyadenylated. Short pulse labeling of nascent RNA followbd by hybrizati...
متن کاملAccurate transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in a soluble extract from isolated mammalian nuclei.
We have developed a procedure for preparing extracts from nuclei of human tissue culture cells that directs accurate transcription initiation in vitro from class II promoters. Conditions of extraction and assay have been optimized for maximum activity using the major late promoter of adenovirus 2. The extract also directs accurate transcription initiation from other adenovirus promoters and cel...
متن کاملSpliced segments at the 5' terminus of adenovirus 2 late mRNA. 1977.
An mRNA fraction coding for hexon polypeptide, the major virion structural protein, was purified by gel electrophoresis from extracts of adenovirus 2-infected cells late in the lytic cycle. The mRNA sequences in this fraction were mapped between 51.7 and 61.3 units on the genome by visualizing RNA-DNA hybrids in the electron microscope. When hybrids of hexon mRNA and single-stranded restriction...
متن کاملAbortive initiation is increased only for the weakest members of a set of down mutants of the adenovirus 2 major late promoter.
We have shown that accurate initiation of productive RNA synthesis in vitro at the adenovirus 2 major late promoter is accompanied by abortive initiation of very short transcripts (Luse, D. S., and Jacob, G. A. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 14990-14997). We made a set of sequence variants of this promoter, using every possible base at position -28 (in the TATA box) in the context of either the nor...
