Abstract
Frequently, viruses have served a very important role in investigations on the mechanisms involved in gene expression in eukaryotic cells. For example, the principle of RNA splicing was first recognized during the course of studies on gene expression in adenovirus- and simian virus 40-infected cells (e.g. 1, 2). Using the same viral systems, decisive progress was made in developing methods to map viral transcripts and to employ cellfree transcription (3) and splicing assays (4) in order to elucidate details of these mechanisms. For several years, we have studied the functional significance of site-specific DNA methylations, particularly in the promoter part of adenovirus genes by a number of different experimental approaches. Again, the adenovirus system offered several advantages as an experimental tool, not only due to the manageable size of its genome and the wealth of information available on the molecular biology of these viruses (5). In addition, the interaction of the adenoviral genome with host cell factors could be analyzed in quite different biological environments, i.e. in productively or abortively infected cells, as well as in adenovirus-transformed cells in whose genome the adenovirus genome was stably integrated (6 – 9).
