High-Mobility Group 1/2 Proteins Are Essential for Initiating Rolling-Circle-Type DNA Replication at a Parvovirus Hairpin Origin
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Rolling-circle replication is initiated by a replicon-encoded endonuclease which introduces a single-strand nick into specific origin sequences, becoming covalently attached to the 5' end of the DNA at the nick and providing a 3' hydroxyl to prime unidirectional, leading-strand synthesis. Parvoviruses, such as minute virus of mice (MVM), have adapted this mechanism to amplify their linear single-stranded genomes...
