RESUMO
The adenovirus type 12-specific mRNA and the stable nuclear RNA from productively infected KB cells, early postinfection, from abortively infected BHK-21 cells, and from the adenovirus type 12-transformed hamster lines T637 and HA12/7 have been mapped on the genome of adenovirus type 12. The intact separated heavy (H) and light (L) strands of adenovirus type 12 DNA have been used to determine the extent of complementarity of the mRNA or nuclear RNA from different cell lines to each of the strands. More precise map positions have been obtained by the use of the H and L complements of the fragments of adenovirus type 12 DNA which were produced with the EcoRI and BamHI restriction endonucleases. The results of the mapping experiments demonstrate that the mRNA's isolated early from productively and abortively infected and from two lines of transformed cells are derived from the same or similar regions of the adenovirus type 12 genome. The map positions on the adenovirus type 12 genome for the mRNA from the cell lines as indicated correspond to regions located approximately between 0 and 0.1 and 0.74 and 0.88 fractional length units on the L strand and to regions between 0.63 and 0.74 and 0.89 and 1.0 fractional length units on the H strand. The HA12/7 line lacks mRNA complementary to the region between 0.74 and 0.88 fractional length units on the L strand. Similar data are found for the nuclear RNA, except that the regions transcribed are more extensive than those observed in mRNA. The polarity of the H strand has its 3'-end on the right terminus in the EcoRI A fragment, and the L strand has its 3'-end on the left terminus in the EcoRI C fragment. Thus, the H strand is transcribed from right to left (1 = leftward strand); and the L strand is transcribed from left to right (r = rightward strand). The designations H and L refer to the relative heavy and light densities of the two strands in polyuridylic-polyguanylic acid-CsCl density gradients. The EcoRI C-H and D-H complements have been shown to be part of the intact L strand; thus, there is a "reversal in heaviness" on the left terminus of the viral DNA.
