Human DNA replication initiation factors, ORC and MCM, associate with <i>oriP</i> of Epstein–Barr virus
21 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
The 165-kb chromosome of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is replicated by cellular enzymes only once per cell cycle in human cells that are latently infected. Here, we report that the human origin recognition complex, ORC, can be detected in association with an EBV replication origin, oriP, in cells by using antibodies against three different subunits of human ORC to precipitate crosslinked chromatin. Mcm2, a subunit of...
