Site-specific nicking within the adenovirus inverted terminal repetition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Site-specific nicking occurs on the l-strand, but not on the r-strand, of the adenovirus left inverted terminal repeat. Nicks are presumably introduced into double- or single-stranded DNA by a cellular endonuclease in an ATP-independent reaction. The consensus nick site has the sequence: (sequence in text).

The length of the terminal repetition in adenovirus-2 DNA.
Adenovirus-2 DNA was end-labeled by partial digestion with Escherichia coli exonuclease III and resynthesis with the DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus and alpha-(32)P-labeled deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. This end-labeled DNA was cleaved with several specific endonucleases and the terminal fragments were characterized by gel electrophoresis and pyrimidine tract analysis. Two e...
متن کاملAdenovirus-2 DNA contains an inverted terminal repetition.
Denaturation and renaturation of the adenovirus-2 chromosome (a duplex rod) generates single-stranded circles of unit length. These circles can be opened into linear DNA molecules by digestion with exonuclease III, indicating that hydrogen bonding between the two ends of an adenovirus strand is responsible for maintaining the rod in a circular state.The formation of adenovirus single-stranded c...

Short nucleotide sequences at the 3'-termini of adenovirus types 2 and 5 DNA have been determined using T4 DNA polymerase as described by P. T. Englund (1972). The terminal sequences of both serotypes appear to be completely identical. Both molecular ends of type 2 as well as of type 5 DNA terminate with the sequence ...pCpC...pGpApTpG3', consistent with the presence of an inverted terminal rep...
متن کاملCharged-to-alanine scanning mutagenesis of the N-terminal half of adeno-associated virus type 2 Rep78 protein.
The adeno-associated virus (AAV) Rep78 and Rep68 proteins are required for site-specific integration of the AAV genome into the AAVS1 locus (19q13.3-qter) as well as for viral DNA replication. Rep78 and Rep68 bind to the GAGC motif on the inverted terminal repeat (ITR) and cut at the trs (terminal resolution site). A similar reaction is believed to occur in AAVS1 harboring an analogous GAGC mot...
متن کاملThe adenovirus inverted terminal repeat functions as an enhancer in a cell-free system.
Two binding sites for EivF, a factor involved in transcription from the adenovirus early promoter iv (Eiv), were mapped within the adenovirus inverted terminal repeats (ITR). Consistent with the observation that EivF was required to initiate transcription from the Eiv promoter and with the demonstration that two EivF binding sites were present in the ITR, we show that the inverted terminal repe...
