Abstract excerpt
The strand-specific, site-specific endonuclease (nicking) activity of the Rep68 and Rep78 (Rep68/78) proteins of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) is involved in AAV replication, and appears to be involved in AAV site-specific integration. Rep68/78 cuts within the inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of the AAV genome and in the AAV preferred integration locus on human chromosome 19 (AAVS1). The known endonuclease...
