AAV2 can replicate its DNA by a rolling hairpin or rolling circle mechanism, depending on the helper virus
9 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) is a small, non-pathogenic, helper virus-dependent parvovirus with a single-stranded (ss) DNA genome of approximately 4.7 kb. AAV2 DNA replication requires the presence of a helper virus such as adenovirus type 5 (AdV5) or herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and is generally assumed to occur as a strand-displacement rolling hairpin (RHR) mechanism initiated at the AAV2 3'...
