RESUMO
The induction of DNA synthesis in growth-arrested mouse fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) was studied by microinjection of different constructs of adenovirus DNA using SV40 DNA and plasmid DNA as positive and negative controls. The E1A region of adenovirus types 2 and 12 appears to be sufficient to induce cellular DNA synthesis after growth arrest in approximately 30% of the cells and both 13S and 12S cDNA constructs mediate this effect. The presence of the E1A protein products as assayed by immunofluorescence does not strictly correlate with the induction of DNA synthesis in microinjected cells in contrast to the SV40 large T-antigen. Microinjection of truncated fragments of the Ad12 E1A region suggests, however, that the protein products of 12S and 13S may be involved in the induction process. A sequence comparison of the SV40 T-antigen and the adenovirus E1A products identified a region of significant homology providing a basis for a hypothesis concerning the evolution of T-antigen genes in DNA viruses.
