The major late promoter of adenovirus-2 is located at coordinate 16.45 and initiates synthesis of nuclear precursors that are processed into mRNAs which fall into five 3’co-terminal families, Ll-L5. These mRNAs all share a common tripartite 5’leader with a capped terminus encoded at the RNA initiation site. We show that the coordinate 16.45 RNA initiation site Is also an early promoter, and yields transcripts detectable as early as 1 hr postinfection, prior to DNA replication and the earlylate switch at 6-8 hr. Polyadenylated cytoplasmic RNA from the first 3’co-terminal family, Ll, is also produced from the earliest stages of infection. Ll mRNA accumulates in the cytoplasm in the presence of cycloheximide, which blocks DNA replication and the onset of the late phase. Early nuclear RNA contains the same capped 5’terminal RNAase Tl undecanucleotide and promoter proximal oligonucleotides present in late transcripts. This implies that precisely the same transcription start site is utilized for early Ll mRNA synthesls as is used during the late stage for Ll-L5 late mRNA synthesis. In contrast to the early appearance of Ll mRNA, neither L2 nor L3 mRNAs are detected until 5-6 hr post infection. We conclude that a major event in the Ad-2 early-late switch is a novel form of control which activates L2-L5 mRNA production.
