DNA helical instability facilitates initiation at the SV40 replication origin.

Abstract excerpt
Previous analysis of mutations in bacterial and yeast replication origins has identified a genetic component, termed a DNA unwinding element (DUE), whose intrinsic helical instability is essential for origin function. For the SV40 replication origin, we show here that the early palindrome (EP) and A + T-rich (AT) domains both exhibit helical instability, despite their dissimilar A + T compositions. To test the...
