Two new defective adenovirus 2/SV-40 hybrids (Ad2+Dl and Ad2+D2) were isolated from the population known as Ad2++HEY. The structure of their genomes was determined by analysis with restriction enzymes, hybridization and EM. The DNA of Ad2+D1 is almost equal in size to that of its helper, adenovirus 2. It contains an insertion of SV-40 sequences 3.2 .times. 103 bases long in place of the 3.5 .times. 103 base segment of adenovirus 2 DNA which maps between 0.64-0.74 fractional genome lengths from the left end of the viral DNA. The insertion which encompasses the entire early region of the SV-40 genome, comprises the segment of DNA lying between positions 71 and 10: it is oriented with the sequences coding for the carboxy terminus of the A gene protein to the left. The DNA of Ad2+D2 is shorter than that of adenovirus 2 by approximately 6%. The segment mapping between 0.76-0.96 fractional genome lengths from the left end of adenovirus 2 DNA is absent: in its place is inserted a stretch of DNA, 5.0 .times. 103 bases in length which comprises all the sequences of the SV-40 genome apart from those lying between map positions 54-63. By contrast to Ad2+D1, the early SV-40 sequences in Ad2+D2 are transcribed from left to right. RNA complementary to the early sequences of the E strand of SV-40 DNA is present in the cytoplasm at both early and late times after infection of [African green] monkey [kidney CV-1] cells by Ad2+D1. No transcripts of the viral L strand were detected. SV-40-specific RNA was found in the cytoplasm of cells infected with Ad2+D2, only at late times after infection. The most abundant species was complementary to the coding sequences of the E strand of SV-40 DNA. Transcripts of the L strand were also present, but in significantly lesser quantity. Proteins related to SV-40-specific T [tumor] antigen were detected in infected cells by immunofluorescence and by immunoprecipitation with sera from hamsters bearing tumors induced by SV-40. The major polypeptide precipitated from extracts of cells infected with Ad2+D1 migrated through sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gels at the same rate as SV-40 T antigen: its apparent MW is 96,000. A significantly larger polypeptide (MW = 115,000) is precipitated from extracts of cells infected by Ad2+D2. Consideration of the structures of the genomes of Ad2+D1 and Ad2+D2 indicate that Ad2+D1 may have arisen by recombination between members of the Ad2++HEY hybrid pool and adenovirus 2, while Ad2+D2 was most likely generated by recombination events between adenovirus 2 and free SV-40.
