Abstract excerpt
Parvoviral DNA replication has many features in common with prokaryotic rolling circle replication (RCR), including the pivotal role of an initiator protein which introduces a site-specific, single strand nick into a duplex origin sequence. In this process, the protein becomes covalently attached to the new 5' end of the DNA, while making available a 3' hydroxyl to prime de novo synthesis. Sequence comparisons of...
