Abstract
We have examined the proteins secreted into the growth medium by normal and transformed cells. Transformed cell lines from several mammalian species all secrete proteins in the 58,000 dalton molecular weight range. These proteins are all immunologically related and are secreted at low levels or not at all by the parental normal cell lines. Secretion of the 58K proteins occurs with either DNA or RNA virus transformation and with spontaneous transformation. The transformed cells also secrete phosphoproteins in the same size range, but these are immunologically distinct from the 58K proteins mentioned above. The sizes of the phosphoproteins are species-specific and unrelated to the transforming virus. Incubation of conditioned media from transformed cell cultures with gamma-32P-ATP labels phosphoproteins of the same sizes, indicating the presence in the media of both protein kinase and substrate. All three properties (58K protein, phosphoprotein, in vitro phosphorylation) are closely correlated with transformation in cells transformed by temperature-sensitive viruses. The biological implications of these results remain unknown, but the results may be relevant to recent data on the (phospho)proteins and protein kinase encoded by RNA tumor viruses and the molecular basis of the transformed phenotype.

Abstract
Normal human tissues have been found to contain RNA which hybridises with four regions of the adenovirus type 2 genome, including one which contains the transforming gene(s) of this virus. The RNAs have also been extracted from gorilla organs, but not from those of chickens, suggesting that they are a feature of all normal higher primate tissues. Serological test suggest that these homologous RNAs are translated into proteins connected with essentially normal and virus-infected cell functions.

Abstract
One adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) early protein, with an apparent molecular weight of 14,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (E14K), was purified to homogeneity. Purification involved fractionation of cytoplasmic extracts, precipitation at low pH, and DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The yield was around 12 microgram of purified protein per 10(9) HeLa cells. The two Ad2 DNA binding proteins with molecular weights of 75,000 and 45,000 (E75K and E45K) were purified by the same procedure. Tryptic peptide analyses indicated that the E14K protein is unrelated to the DNA binding proteins. The purified E14K protein has a high content of basic amino acids and a sedimentation coefficient of 5.5S in the native state, corresponding to a molecular weight of around 95,000. Pulse-chase experiments suggest that the E14K polypeptide is a primary translation product. Immunoprecipitation with a monospecific antiserum against the E14K protein revealed that it is exclusively localized in the cytoplasm of infected cells. E14K started to be synthesized at 2 hpostinfection, with a maximal rate of synthesis at 4 to 6 h postinfection. Immunoprecipitation of cell extracts from four different Ad2-transformed hamster embryo cell lines revealed that only one (Ad2HE4) of them expresses this protein. The adenovirus-simian virus 40 hybrid virus (Ad2ND1) does not express this protein, suggesting that the gene for the E14K protein is located in the part of the Ad2 genome which is deleted in this hybrid virus.

Abstract
Complementary strand-specific adenovirus DNA of full length or from endonuclease BamHI fragments was used as a probe to estimate the fractional representation and abundance of viral sequences in five hamster cell lines (Ad2HE1-5) transformed with UV-inactivated adenovirus type 2. The fraction of the viral genome present in the five transformed cell lines varied from 44% in the Ad2HE5 cell line to 84% in the Ad2HE3 cell line. The number of viral DNA copies per diploid cell equivalent ranged from 1.8 in the Ad2HE1 line to 7.1 in the Ad2HE4 line. In vivo labeling with [35S]methionine followed by immunoprecipitation with an antiserum against adenovirus type 2 early proteins revealed virus-specific polypeptides with molecular weights of 42,000 to 58,000 in extracts from all five hamster cell lines. Several other early viral polypeptides were detected in some of the adenovirus type 2-transformed hamster cell lines.

Abstract
We have defined the structure of adenovirus 2 (Ad2) cytoplasmic RNAs produced during the early phase of infection. Hybrids between cytoplasmic RNA and DNA restriction fragments of the viral genome were digested with endonuclease S1 or exonuclease VII, and the products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. Seven abundant cytoplasmic RNAs (assumed to be mRNAs) were identified, and all have a spliced structure. Different mRNAs produced from a single transcriptional unit contain extensively overlapping sequences, and differ from each other by the pattern in which genome sequences are spliced together. The structures of the early Ad2 mRNAs are consistent with a model for mRNA biosynthesis in which an initial transcript is processed into a mature mRNA by "splicing out" internal sequences. The pattern of spliced mRNAs produced from the early region responsible for the transforming activity of Ad2 resembles the splicing pattern of the oncogenic early mRNAs of simian virus 40 (SV40). This fact, in conjunction with recent DNA sequencing results, leads us to suggest that, like the SV40 tumor antigens, the polypeptides encoded by these Ad2 mRNAs have an identical amino acid sequence at their N terminal ends, but have different C terminal sequences.

Abstract
Adenovirus type 2 rat transformed cells produced two polyadenylic acid-terminated mRNA's with approximate coordinates 1.5-4.4 and 4.4-11.0 on the physical map of the adenovirus type 2 genome. These mRNA's were also formed early during lytic infection in addition to one or more smaller mRNA's from the 4.4-11.0 region. In transformed cells, the 1.5-4.4 mRNA appeared in the cell cytoplasm without detectable lag, whereas the 4.4-11.0 mRNA required at least 20 to 30 min for the maximal rate of accumulation.

Abstract
Five clones of rat kidney cells transformed by a small restriction endonuclease fragment of adenovirus 5 (Ad5) DNA (fragment HsuI G, which represents the left terminal 7% of the adenovirus genome) were analyzed with respect to the viral DNA sequences present in the cellular DNAs. In these analyses, the kinetics of renaturation of 32P-labeled specific fragments of Ad5 DNA was measured in the presence of a large amount of DNA extracted either from each of the transformed cell lines or from untransformed cells. The fragments were produced by digestion of 32P-labeled adenovirus 5 DNA with endo R.HsuI, or by digestion of 32P-labeled fragment HsuI G of adeno 5 DNA with endo R.HpaI. All five transformed lines were found to contain DNA sequences homologous to 75--80% of Ad5 fragment HsuI G only. Clones II and V contained approximately 48 copies per quantity of diploid cell DNA, clone VI about 35 copies, clone IV 22 copies and clone III 5--10 copies. These results indicate that a viral DNA segment as small as 5.5% of the Ad5 genome, contains sufficient information for the maintenance of transformation.

Abstract
Large pools of empty viral capsids accumulate in cells infected by subgroup B human adenoviruses. Such infected cells also yield DNA-containing incomplete particles in larger quantities than cells infected with serotypes representing other adenovirus subgroups. DNA isolated from carefully purified classes of Ad7 incomplete particles was analyzed by restriction endonuclease cleavage, gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy. At least 90% of the DNA molecules in each sample consisted of sequences that extended from the left end of the viral genome map by variable lengths toward the right end. The average length of DNA is linearly related to the average buoyant density of the incomplete particles from which the DNA is isolated. The results indicate that each capsid contains one DNA molecule. There is also a specific association of the left end of the viral genome with assembled or assembling capsids. The characteristic distributions of Ad7 incomplete particles may result from intracellular pools of assembly intermediates in which the incompletely packaged DNA has been fragmented in vivo or by shear during preparative procedures.

Abstract
Mouse L cells lacking the enzyme thymidine kinase (LMTK-) have been converted to a TK+ phenotype by infection with fragmented HSV2 strain 333 DNA. The DNA fragments used were either unique, produced by cleavage with the restriction endonucleases Eco RI and Hind III, or randomly produced by mechanical shearing. Survival in HAT medium was used initially to establish the TK+ phenotype; clones possessing the ability to grow in selective medium were picked on the basis of differing morphology and growth rates. Cytosol extracts of these clones possessed virus-specified TK activity identical to that present in cells lytically infected with HSV2, as indicated by thermolability and mobility on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The transformed cells also exhibit HSV-specific immunofluorescence. Based on these transformation studies, it is possible to assign a map location to the TK gene on the HSV genome.

Abstract
High molecular weight nuclear pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA or hnRNA) isolated from Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells contains besides moderately long (100--200 base pairs) snap-back double-stranded structures, also longer double-stranded structure containing at least 300--800 base pairs. Their double-stranded nature was proved by Cs2SO4 gradient centrifugation. Very long double-stranded sequences are not able to snap-back after RNA melting. While the moderately long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is renatured at C0t1/2 approximately equal to 5-10(-4), the very long dsRNA shows a higher complexity (C0t1/2 approximately equal to 2-10(-2). They also hybridize to less reiterated class of DNA than moderately long dsRNA. Two classes of dsRNA are represented by different sequences as followed from cross-renaturation experiments. Very long dsRNA forms stable hybrids with 20% of total poly(A)+mRNA of cytoplasm. The properties of different classes of ds structures present in nuclear pre-mRNA are compared and their possible nature is discussed. The presence of very long dsRNA may reflect either the symmetric transcription of structural genes, or the transcription from those DNA sequences which are complementary to each other but located in different parts of the genome.

Abstract
Six independently isolated adenovirus 2-transformed rat cell lines and one adenovirus 5-transformed human cell line have been examined in vitro for serum growth requirements, saturation density, anchorage-independent growth, proteolytic enzyme activity and the presence of LETS glycoprotein and T antigen. This series of adenovirus-transformed cell lines exhibits an oncogeni spectrum ranging from being tumorigenic in immunocompetent rats through to nontumorigenic in adult nude mice. The relevance of the in vitro findings to growth potential in vivo is discussed.

Abstract
Adenovirus 12 (Ad12) (Huie) (highly oncogenic group A) readily induces tumors in newborn rodents. Since Ad12 is isolated from human fecal samples, we investigated whether it plays a role in the etiology of human gastrointestinal cancer. If Ad12 is a causal agent of human cancer, then human tumors should contain Ad12 transforming genes, as indicated by studies of cells transformed in vitro and in vivo by oncogenic viruses. Ad12 DNA and the Ad12 transforming restriction fragment (EcoRI-C fragment, left 16% of the viral genome) were labeled in vitro to 10(7) to 4 X 10(8) cpm/mug by the nick translation reaction of DNA polymerase of Escherichia coli. The fidelity and sensitivity of these probes were established by (i) analysis of DNA from Ad12-transformed cells and from hamsters with tumors induced by Ad12, (ii) reconstruction experiments with added Ad12 DNA and EcoRI restriction fragments, and (iii) comparison of annealing characteristics with Ad12 probes labeled in vivo. With Ad12 [3H]DNA as probe, no viral DNA sequences were detected in 18 normal gastrointestinal tissues and 34 gastrointestinal tumors, including cancers of the colon, rectum, small intestine, and stomach, under conditions that would detect 0.1 copy of the Ad12 genome per tumor cell. Similar analyses of Ad12-transformed hamster cells and Ad12 primary hamster tumors indicated 6-18 copies per cell of over 90% of the viral genome. With the Ad12 EcoRI-C transforming fragment as probe, no hybridization was detected with 32 human gastrointestinal tumors and five normal tissues; this result excludes 1-2% of the Ad12 genome per tumor cell. Our date are strong evidence that Ad12 is not a major cause of human gastrointestinal cancer. The Ad12 transforming EcoRI-C fragment hybridized (50-68% efficiency) with other Ad12 isolates and with Ad18 and 31 (members of oncogenic group A), but not at all with 28 other human Ad serotypes (manuscript in preparation). Thus other group A members probably are also not involved in human gastrointestinal cancer. No viral DNA sequences were detected in 12 normal lungs and 22 lung tumors, suggesting that respiratory cancer does not involve an Ad12 etiology.

Abstract
Replication intermediates of adenovirus DNA apparently contain extensive stretches of single-stranded DNA. Such single-stranded viral DNA sequences homologous to different regions of the viral genome present in adenovirus-infected cells during viral DNA replication have therefore been characterized by hybridization to the separated strands of restriction endonuclease fragments of 32P-labeled adenovirus types 2 and 5 DNA. Saturation hybridization experiments with infected cell DNA extracted at late times suggest that all regions of the adenovirus genome are represented in the single-stranded fraction, but at unequal frequencies. This nonuniform representation has been characterized in more detail with self-annealed, total cell DNA extracted 18 hr after adenovirus type 2 infection: the concentration of single-stranded sequences homologous to different regions of the viral genome was determined by comparing the rates of hybridization of 32P-labeled, single-stranded DNA probes with such self-annealed 18 hr DNA to the rates of hybridization of the same probes with equal concentrations of their complements. This approach allows the concentration of single-stranded viral DNA sequences in excess of their complements to be determined. Such sequences can be represented by two concentration gradients across the viral genome: those homologous to the r strand increase in concentration from 27.8-40.9 units toward the right end, whereas sequences homologous to the 1 strand increase from an area 27.8-40.9 units toward the left end. The time course of synthesis of single-stranded viral DNA sequences relative to accumulation of total viral DNA during the productive cycle and their behavior following a shift of H5ts125-infected cells in which viral DNA replication has begun from a permissive to a nonpermissive temperature support the contention that these sequences are indeed generated as adenovirus DNA is replicated. These results are therefore discussed in terms of current models of adenovirus DNA replication.

Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive account of the current status of the biology and biochemistry of restriction endonucleases. Both Class I and Class II restriction endonucleases will be considered. However, emphasis will be placed on the Class II group, which recognizes and cleaves a specific duplex DNA sequence. Their occurrence, purification, and characterization is discussed in detail. The characterization includes physical mapping information and determination of recognition sequences. In addition to detailed discussions of the biochemical properties of the enzymes, considerable attention is paid to the uses of these enzymes as tools for research in molecular biology. These uses include physical mapping of genomes and their transcripts, genetic analysis (marker rescue, etc.), DNA sequence analysis, analysis of complex genomes, and genetic engineering. Specific examples of each use are outlined. Practical aspects of both the isolation and use of the restriction endonucleases form the major theme of this review.

Abstract
The persistence of viral DNA in BHK-21 cells abortively infected with human adenovirus type 12 has been investigated using reassociation kinetics. No indication of an increase in the amount of viral DNA per cell has been found. On the contrary, the amount of intracellular viral DNA sequences decreases rapidly after infection. Thus, free adenovirus type 12 DNA does not replicate in BHK-21 cells. The influence of the multiplicity of infection on the amount of persisting adenovirus type 12 DNA has also been explored. The viral DNA sequences persisting in four lines of hamster cells transformed in vitro by adenovirus type 12 at various multiplicities of infection have been quantitated and mapped by reassociation kinetics experiments using restriction endonuclease fragments of 3H-labeled adenovirus type 12 DNA. All the EcoRI restriction nuclease fragments of the adenovirus type 12 genome are represented in each of the four cell lines. Individual fragments of the viral genome are represented in multiple copies in non-equimolar amounts.

Abstract
The distribution on the cell surface of the large external LETS protein that is transformation sensitive of normal, transformed and tumorigenic cells was examined by immunofluorescent staining. A correlation was established between the expression of fibril-like LETS protein and the oncogenic capabilities of a series of adenovirus-transformed cell lines. In cells expressing a transformed phenotype in vitro, LETS protein is only detected in cell-cell contact areas, wheras in "untransformed" cells LETS protein is distributed over the cell surface. Transformed cells capable of inducing invasive tumors, and the cells of established tumor lines, have low or undetectable levels of LETS protein, as measured by this method. The results indicate that LETS protein has a role in cell-cell adhesion and that reduced expression of this protein at the cell surface is related to the oncogenic phenotype. This relationship has been established for experimentally induced and spontaneous tumors.

Abstract
High molecular weight DNA, isolated from eleven cloned lines of rat cells independently transformed by SV40, was cleaved with various restriction endonucleases. The DNA was fractionated by electrophoresis through agarose gels, denatured in situ, transferred directly to sheets of nitrocellulose as described by Southern (1975), and hybridized to SV40 DNA labeled in vitro to high specific activity. The location of viral sequences among the fragments of transformed cell DNA was determined by autoradiography. The DNAs of seven of the cell lines contained viral sequences in fragments of many different sizes. The remaining four cell lines each contain a single insertion of viral DNA at a different chromosomal location. The junctions between viral and cellular sequences map at different places on the viral genome.

Abstract
Incomplete particles arising during productive growth of adenovirus were separated from infectious particles by density gradient centrifugation. The DNA contained in particles of low density was characterized by restriction enzyme analysis and by electron microscopy and heteroduplexing techniques. The DNA is heterogeneous in length, ranging in size from 15% of the normal genome to full length. Many individual molecules contain long, inverted terminal repetitions, which consist of the sequences extending from the normal left-hand end of the viral genome inward; the normal right end sequences appear to be missing from these molecules. The region of the genome reiterated in these molecules is that which has been implicated in transformation of rat cells by adenovirus (Gallimore, Sharp, and Sambrook, 1974; Graham, van der Eb, and Heijneker, 1974). A model for adenovirus replication is presented that accounts for the aberrant structures observed.
