Frog virus 3 DNA replication occurs in two stages

R Goorha

    Journal of Virology
    |August 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Frog virus 3 (FV3) DNA replication occurs in two distinct stages, with early synthesis in the nucleus and later concatemer formation in the cytoplasm. This unique viral replication strategy differs significantly from other known DNA viruses.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Viral DNA synthesis in frog virus 3 (FV3) occurs in both the nucleus and cytoplasm.
    • Understanding the relationship between viral DNA synthesized in these compartments is crucial for comprehending virus replication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationships between viral DNA molecules synthesized in the nucleus and cytoplasm.
    • To elucidate the role of these DNA molecules in frog virus 3 replication.

    Main Methods:

    • Sedimentation in neutral sucrose gradients to determine the size of replicating DNA.
    • Pulse-chase experiments to analyze DNA precursor-product relationships.
    • Equilibrium centrifugation in CsCl gradients to analyze DNA repair mechanisms.
    • Alkali denaturation and S1 nuclease digestion to identify single-stranded regions.

    Main Results:

    • FV3 DNA replication proceeds in two stages: Stage 1 occurs early (2h post-infection) in the nucleus, producing unit to twice unit length molecules.
    • Stage 2 occurs later (after 3h post-infection) in the cytoplasm, forming large concatemeric DNA molecules.
    • Concatemeric DNA serves as a precursor for mature FV3 DNA and contains single-stranded regions that are subsequently repaired.

    Conclusions:

    • FV3 replication involves distinct nuclear and cytoplasmic phases.
    • The nucleus is used for early transcription and Stage 1 DNA replication.
    • The cytoplasm is the site for Stage 2 DNA replication, concatemer processing, and virus assembly, representing a unique replication strategy among DNA viruses.
