TLDR
These findings demonstrate the linkage of AAV macromolecular synthesis to an event(s) in the helper virus cycle, and show that AAV type 2 (AAV2) infectivity yields can approach those obtained when coinfections are carried out with a helper adenovirus.Abstract:
In addition to adenoviruses, which are capable of completely helping adenovirus-associated virus (AAV) multiplication, only herpesviruses are known to provide any AAV helper activity, but this activity has been thought to be partial (i.e., AAV DNA, RNA, and protein syntheses are induced, but infectious particles are not assembled). In this study, however, we show that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) are in fact complete AAV helpers and that AAV type 2 (AAV2) infectivity yields can approach those obtained when coinfections are carried out with a helper adenovirus. AAV helper activity was demonstrated in KB cells with two HSV-1 strains (11124 and 17MP) and an HSV-2 strain (HG52). Each herpesvirus supported AAV2 multiplication with comparable efficiency. AAV2 multiplication was similarly efficient in HSV-1 coinfections of HeLa cells, whereas lower yields were obtained in HEp-2 and primary human embryonic kidney cells. HSV-1 also supported AAV1 multiplication in HeLa cells but, at corresponding multiplicities of infection, AAV1 grew less efficiently than AAV2. Comparisons of the time courses of AAV2 DNA, RNA, and protein syntheses after coinfection with either adenovirus type 5 or HSV-1 revealed that, in each case, the onset of synthesis and attainment of maximal synthesis rate occurred earlier in coinfections with HSV-1. These findings demonstrate the linkage of AAV macromolecular synthesis to an event(s) in the helper virus cycle. Aside from this temporal association, helper-related differences in AAV macromolecular synthesis were not apparent.read more

TL;DR: This non‐pathogenic parvovirus thus appears to establish viral latency by integrating its DNA specifically into one chromosomal region, so far unique among the eukaryotic DNA viruses.

Nucleotide sequence and organization of the adeno-associated virus 2 genome.
TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of the adeno-associated virus 2 genome was determined and genome segments were assigned that code for three major viral capsid proteins and, possibly, some as-yet-unidentified, nonstructural viral proteins.

TL;DR: Replication of the particles in cell cultures was obtained only when they were inoculated simultaneously with adenoviruses, suggesting that these adenOVirus-associated particles behave as defective viruses.

TL;DR: A clone of human cells latently infected by adeno-associated virus (AAV) has been characterized with regard to the status of the viral DNA, and the organization of the integrated AAV sequences as determined by restriction enzyme digestion remained constant with continued passage.

Concatemers of alternating plus and minus strands are intermediates in adenovirus-associated virus DNA synthesis
TL;DR: An analysis of the replicating molecules in sucrose density gradients reveals that there are AAV DNA intermediates which consist of covalently linked plus and minus DNA strands, compatible with a self-priming mechanism for the synthesis of AAVDNA.

TL;DR: This communication provides evidence that MgCl2 also enhances plaque formation by human adenoviruses on HeLa cell monolayers and that the effect is due to an increase in the rate of virus release from infected cells.
