Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase I is believed to be sufficient for early replication of circular viral genomes such as those of SV40 and of yeast plasmids. Topoisomerase II is required for the decatenation of the daughter genomes and probably also for fork elongation during the later stages of SV40 replication. Using the neutral-neutral two-dimensional gel system, we have followed the progression of replication of both SV40 and...
