RESUMO

An isolated nuclei system prepared from herpes type II- and mock-infected human embryonic lung cells is able to synthesize cellular and viral DNA in the same proportion as in vivo at various times after infection. Incorporation of (3H)TTP in the in vitro reaction mixture requires Mg2 plus and ATP. Overall in vitro DNA synthesis in nuclei isolated from herpes-infected cells is semiconservative as demonstrated by bromodeoxyuridine-substituted DNA density-transfer experiments, but exhibits a significant fraction of repair-type replication. Relative rates of total DNA synthesis in vitro and in vivo are the same any time after infection. Isolated nuclei synthesize cell and viral DNA for a length of time and at a rate dependent upon the incubation temperature, but there are differences in the length of time of linear in vitro DNA synthesis between herpes- and mock-infected cells. The temperature optima for in vitro DNA synthesis differ significantly for herpes- and mock-infected cells, and are the same for cells abortively infected with herpes type II as for mock-infected cells.
