Transcription of the adenovirus genome by an -amanitine-sensitive ribonucleic acid polymerase in HeLa cells

Transcription of the adenovirus genome by an -amanitine-sensitive ribonucleic acid polymerase in HeLa cells

R Price et al. J Virol. 1972 Apr.

Abstract

The properties of the ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase activity which transcribes the major portion of the adenovirus genome were studied. Nuclei were prepared from infected cells and incubated in vitro. Virus-specific RNA was determined by hybridization to adenovirus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Adenovirus DNA is transcribed principally by an activity which resembles closely polymerase II of the host cell. This activity is inhibited by alpha-amanitine and stimulated by (NH(4))(2)SO(4). Its product is high-molecular-weight heterogeneous RNA. The polymerase activity measured early in infection (3 to 5 hr) resembles that found late in infection (16 to 18 hr).
