Abstract

Isolated simian virus 40 (SV40) and polyoma nucleoprotein complexes contain endonuclease that, under in vitro conditions, converts part (up to 30%) of the covalently closed superhelical DNA to full-length linear rods. The positions of the cleavage sites within the genomes of SV40 and polyoma were determined by digestion with various single-cut restriction endonucleases and subsequent agarose gel electrophoresis of the cleavage products. Both SV40 and polyoma covalently closed superhelical DNA were cleaved open at their respective origins of DNA replication (+/- 75 base pairs). The full-length linear DNA rods whose ends map adjacent to the origin of DNA replication could also be isolated by sodium dodecyl sulfate/phenol extraction both from SV40-infected permissive cells and from purified SV40 virions. These data reveal the presence of a unique structure of the papovavirus chromatin close to the initiation site of DNA replication.
