A central feature of the adeno-associated virus (AAV) latent life
cycle is persistence in the form of both integrated and episomal
genomes. However, the molecular processes associated with episomal
long-term persistence of AAV genomes are only poorly understood. To
investigate these mechanisms, we have utilized a recombinant AAV
(rAAV) shuttle vector to identify circular AAV intermediates from
transduced HeLa cells and primary fibroblasts. The unique structural
features exhibited by these transduction intermediates included
circularized monomer and dimer virus genomes in a head-to-tail array,
with associated specific base pair alterations in the 5' viral D
sequence. In HeLa cells, the abundance and stability of AAV circular
intermediates were augmented by adenovirus expressing the E2a gene
product. In the absence of E2a, adenovirus expressing the E4 open
reading frame 6 gene product decreased the abundance of AAV circular
intermediates, favoring instead the linear replication form monomer
(Rfm) and dimer (Rfd) structures. In summary,
the formation of AAV circular intermediates appears to represent a new
pathway for AAV genome conversion, which is consistent with the head-to-tail concatemerization associated with latent-phase persistence of rAAV. A better understanding of this pathway may increase the utility of rAAV vectors for gene therapy.
