Multiple methylated cap sequences in adenovirus type 2 early mRNA

S I Hashimoto, M Green

    Journal of Virology
    |November 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Early adenovirus 2 mRNA features diverse methylated cap structures (cap 1 and cap 2) and internal N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications. These modifications suggest a minimum of seven distinct early viral mRNA species with unique cap structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Virology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Adenovirus mRNA undergoes post-transcriptional modifications, including methylation.
    • Methylated cap structures are crucial for mRNA stability, processing, and translation.
    • Understanding viral mRNA methylation provides insights into host-pathogen interactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the methylated constituents of early adenovirus 2 mRNA.
    • To identify and quantify different 5' terminal methyl cap structures.
    • To investigate the presence and extent of internal base methylation.

    Main Methods:

    • Cells were labeled with [methyl-3H]methionine and 32PO4 in the presence of cycloheximide.
    • RNA was isolated, fractionated into poly(A)+ and poly(A)- populations, and hybridized to viral DNA.
    • Viral mRNA was digested with RNase T2 and analyzed using DEAE-Sephadex chromatography.

    Main Results:

    • Two major classes of 5' terminal methyl caps were identified: cap 1 (m7G(5')ppp(5')NmpNp) and cap 2 (m7G(5')ppp(5')NmNmpNp).
    • Compositional analysis revealed at least seven distinct early viral mRNA species based on varying cap 1 and cap 2 structures.
    • Internal base methylation was exclusively N6-methyladenosine (m6A), present at approximately 1 m6Ap per 450 nucleotides.

    Conclusions:

    • Early adenovirus 2 mRNA possesses a minimum of seven distinct 5' cap structures.
    • Internal m6A methylation is a common feature of early viral mRNA.
    • These methylation patterns contribute to the complexity and regulation of viral gene expression.
