Construction of Mutations in the Adenovirus Early Region 3 (E3) Transcription Units

互联网

850
The E3 transcription unit of the well-studied subgroup C adenoviruses (Ad) (prototypic serotypes 2 [Ad2] and 5 [Ad5]) is located between map units 76–86 ( see Fig. 1 ). The E3 region is surrounded by the genes for virion protein VIII and fiber, and is transcribed off the r-strand. The E3-region transcription unit is complex Extensive splicing controls expression of seven identified E3 proteins, four of which have functions that modify the host immune response to the viral infection (reviewed in ref. 1 ), Table 1 )
Fig 1  Methods used to insert a mutated E3 region into the viral genome ( A ) Schematic illustrating some of the adenovirus transcription units expressed during early stages of infection ( B ) Construction of E3 mutations Ligation method Cleave cloned Ad2 Eco RI-D fragment containing a mutation with Eco RI, then ligate to Eco RI-cleaved Ad5 TP-DNA complex. Transfect ligation mixture into A549 cells and allow plaques to form. Overlap recombination method. Cotransfect cloned Ad2 Kpn I-A fragment containing a mutation in the E3 region with Eco RI-cleaved Ad5 TP-DNA complex into A549 cells and plaques were allowed to form
