Identification of Persistent RNA-DNA Hybrid Structures within the Origin of Replication of Human Cytomegalovirus
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) lytic-phase DNA replication initiates at the cis-acting origin of replication, oriLyt. oriLyt is a structurally complex region containing repeat elements and transcription factor binding sites. We identified two site-specific alkali-labile regions within oriLyt which flank an alkali-resistant DNA segment. These alkali-sensitive regions were the result of the degradation of two RNA...
