摘要
We have explored the mechanism of adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) DNA integration because of its importance for viral oncogenesis and as an example of insertional recombination. We have used a fractionated cell-free system from nuclear extracts of hamster cells and have partly purified nuclear proteins that could catalyze in vitro recombination. As recombination partners, the 20,880- to 24,049-nucleotide Pst I D fragment of Ad12 DNA and the hamster preinsertion sequence p7 from the Ad12-induced tumor CLAC1 have proven to recombine at higher frequencies than randomly selected adenoviral or cellular DNA sequences. A preinsertion sequence might carry elements essential in eliciting recombination. Patch homologies between the recombination partners seem to play a role in the selection of sites for recombination in vivo and in the cell-free system. Nuclear extracts from BHK21 cells were prepared by incubating the nuclei in 0.42 M (NH4)2SO4 and fractionated by Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration, followed by chromatography on Mono S and Mono Q columns. The purified products active in recombination contained a limited number of different protein bands, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. The most highly purified fraction IV had helicase and topoisomerase I activities. We used two different methods to assess the in vitro generation of hamster DNA-Ad12 DNA recombinants upon incubation with the purified protein fractions: (i), transfection of the recombination products into recA- strains of Escherichia coli and (ii) the polymerase chain reaction by using amplification primers unique for each of the two recombination partners. In p7 hamster DNA, the nucleotide sequence 5'-CCTCTCCG-3' or similar sequences served repeatedly as a preferred recombination target for Ad12 DNA in the tumor CLAC1 and in five independent cell-free recombination experiments.
