We have studied the pattern of transcription of the early region of polyoma virus DNA after the onset of the late phase of lytic infection of mouse cells. Following initiation of viral DNA synthesis, the early/late switch is accompanied not only by efficient production of late mRNAs but also by the appearance of previously unidentified early-strand RNAs which have certain structural features in common with the classical early mRNAs. Stable poly(A)+RNAs have been identified by blot analysis and S1 nuclease mapping that are not detected early during infection or in polyoma virus-transformed cells. One group consists of transcripts whose 5' ends map 150-200 nucleotides upstream from the major early 5' ends (at positions 148 and 153 on the polyoma virus genome) but whose splicing pattern and poly(A) addition sites are indistinguishable from those of mRNAs produced early in infection. The 5' exons of these early region transcripts contain an open translational reading frame that extends from nucleotide positions 5,255 to 124 and is capable of encoding a basic protein of 53 amino acids. Transcription of these RNAs does not appear to be negatively regulated by large tumor antigen. A transcript of 1,800 nucleotides appears to map predominantly between 93 and 26 map units and does not contain sequences present in the early mRNA 5' exons. These data suggest that, after the onset of polyoma DNA replication, the activation of new early-strand promoters leads to the expression of previously untranscribed viral DNA sequences.
