Deletions extending various distances into the left-hand terminal DNA sequences of the adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) genome were generated in a plasmid containing a cloned fragment spanning from 0 to 4.9 map units. The altered Ad2 DNA sequences were introduced into viral genomes by ligating a plasmid-derived fragment, which included the sequences extending to 3.8 map units, to the 3.8-100 map unit fragment generated by XbaI cleavage of the DNA of the Ad5 variant, d1309 (N. Jones and T.Shenk, Cell 17 683-689, 1979). The infectivity of the ligation products was studied by transfection of line 293 cells. Genomes lacking 11, 40, or 51 nucleotides from their left-hand termini, or containing an additional 18dG residues linked to this position were infectious, and analysis of the progeny virus genomes demonstrated that the structure of these modified termini had been restored to normal. In contrast, genomes from which the first 160 base pairs (bp), including the entire 102 bp left hand inverted terminal repeat (ITR), had been removed were non-infectious. The results indicate that the ITRs present at the opposite ends of transfecting DNA molecules are able to interact in vivo, and enable the production of viable viruses containing corrected left-hand terminal sequences. Possible mechanisms for this interaction are discussed.
