Abstract excerpt
Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, we demonstrated that the temperature-sensitive (ts) conditional lethal mutant ts9383 is, at the nonpermissive temperature, defective in the resolution of concatemeric replicative intermediate DNA to linear 185-kb monomeric DNA genomes. The resolution defect was shown to be the result of a partial failure of the mutant virus to convert the replicated form of the viral...
