Abstract excerpt
The Herpes simplex virus type I origin binding protein (OBP) is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein and a dimeric DNA helicase encoded by the UL9 gene. It is required for the activation of the viral origin of DNA replication oriS. Here we demonstrate that the linear double-stranded form of oriS can be converted by heat treatment to a stable novel conformation referred to as oriS*. Studies using S1 nuclease...
