Abstract

The organization of intranuclear adenoassociated virus DNA (AAV) was examined following micrococcal nuclease digestion of nuclei prepared from cells coinfected with AAV type 2 (AAV-2) and adenovirus type 2 (Ad2). Blot-hybridization analysis of the DNA with AAV-2, Ad2, and cellular DNA probes revealed that AAV-2 chromatin has a unique structure, which upon nuclease digestion gives rise to a smear of oligomeric DNA fragments from 600-2200 base pairs in length with only a very faint band about 160 base pairs and no discrete multimers. This structure was similar to, but distinguishable from, Ad2 chromatin and completely unrelated to eukaryotic chromatin.
