Recent reports suggest that an early region 1B (E1B) 55,000-molecular-weight polypeptide (55K)-null adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) mutant (dl 1520) can replicate to the same extent as wild-type (wt) Ad5 in cells either deficient or mutated in p53, implicating p53 in limiting viral replication in vivo. In contrast, we show here that the replicative capacity of Ad5dl 1520 is wholly independent of host cell p53 status, as is the replicative capacity of comparable Ad12 E1B 54K-null adenoviruses (Ad12dl 620 and Ad12hr 703). Furthermore, we show that there is no requirement for complex formation between p53 and Ad5 E1B 55K or Ad12 E1B 54K for a productive infection, such that wt Ad5 and wt Ad12 will both replicate in cells which are null for p53. In addition, we find that these Ad5 and Ad12 mutant viruses induce S phase irrespective of the p53 status of the cell and that, therefore, S-phase induction does not correlate with the replicative capacity of the virus. Interestingly, the replicative capacities of the large E1B-null adenoviruses correlated positively with the ability to express E1B 19K and were related to the ability to repress premature adenovirus-induced apoptosis. Infection of primary human cells indicated that Ad5dl 1520, wt Ad5, and wt Ad12 replicated better in cycling normal human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) than in quiescent HSFs. Thus, the cell cycle status of the host cell, upon infection, also influences viral yield.
