Abstract

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small single-stranded DNA virus that requires the presence of a helper virus, such as adenovirus or herpes virus, to efficiently replicate its genome. AAV DNA is replicated by a rolling-hairpin mechanism (Ward, 2006), and during replication several DNA intermediates can be detected. This detailed protocol describes how to analyze the AAV DNA intermediates formed during AAV replication using a modified Hirt extract (Hirt, 1967) procedure and Southern blotting (Southern, 1975).

Background

AAV DNA replication is carried out by a rolling hairpin mechanism in cells co-infected by AAV and helper viruses such as adenovirus or herpes virus (Ward, 2006). The AAV DNA consists of a 4.7 kb linear DNA molecule with inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) that fold back to form T-shaped hairpin structures. The 3’ end hairpin serves as a primer for the replication of the AAV DNA. These hairpin structures are regenerated by the AAV Rep protein, allowing further rounds of replication (Im and Muzyczka, 1990). Both + and - strands of the AAV DNA are packaged and are infectious (Rose et al., 1969). When replicating AAV DNA is analyzed, several replicative intermediates can be detected (Straus et al., 1976). The most abundant replicative intermediate is a linear monomeric duplex molecule, formed by one + and one - strand of the AAV DNA, which is thought to be the immediate precursor of progeny single-stranded molecules that will be packaged in pre-formed capsids (Straus et al., 1976). Dimeric replicative intermediates are also common, and the AAV replication model is compatible with even larger replicative intermediates. The study of AAV replication benefitted from the discovery that AAV plasmids are infectious–the AAV DNA can be fully rescued from a plasmid (in the presence of helper virus) and its replication mimics that of the native virus (Samulski et al., 1982). The method detailed here allows the investigation of the DNA intermediates formed during DNA replication initiated from an AAV plasmid, and was used to compare different mutants of the AAV Rep protein for their ability to support AAV replication. The same method can be used to study other aspects of the AAV life cycle that can affect DNA replication of this virus, such as the effect of helper virus proteins or other factors that restrict/enhance AAV replication.
