Polarity in adenovirus recombination

Abstract
The distributions of the crossovers necessary to generate ts+ genomes have been examined in a collection of clonally unrelated ts+ recombinants from a set of ts X ts adenovirus crosses. In a cross between two parents that are grossly heterologous between map units 80.2 and 91.5, the distribution of crossovers was significantly skewed toward the left-hand end of the genome, with a declining frequency proceeding rightward. This gradient of recombination was modified by the removal of the right-hand heterology and by the presence of another region of heterology between map units 3.67 and 10.11. In a cross where the ts markers were flanked by both heterologies, no gradient was observed and ts+ recombinants were characterized by a higher rate of supernumerary crossovers. In a cross designed so that one ts marker was internal to two heterologies, crossovers were found disproportionately between the second ts marker and the nearby heterology. In addition, ts+ recombinants formed by crossing over internal to the heterologies again were accompanied by a high frequency of supernumerary crossovers. Finally, ts+ recombinant frequencies in crosses identical except for the presence of either one or two flanking heterologies were markedly lower in the latter case. These data, taken together, suggest that a major pathway of adenovirus recombination initiates at, or near, the molecular termini and is perhaps driven by the displaced single strands produced during DNA replication. Internal initiation, on the other hand, may employ these single strands to form genetic "patches."
