Cell-free extracts prepared from human embryonic kidney (HEK) cultures after infection with adenovirus 2 or 12 had a decreased ability to repair single-strand breaks in the HEK cell DNA substrate. The apparent loss of polynucleotide ligase activity found in infected cells may be related to the adenovirus-induced inhibition of HEK cell DNA synthesis.
